Pooh, you say that as if you didn't have anything to talk about with them :rolleyes:
I have lots of things to talk to them about, but it's a question of topicality. This shopping centre is the biggest thing to happen in this backwater neck of the woods since....um....er....some traffic lights were installed on the corner of Sushi Road and Karaoke Avenue. :dance:
Lat week I bored them all with my UK trip and photos. :cool:

Here are two brain teasers to keep you occupied. :dance:

1. Two days ago, John was 17. Next year he's 20. Explain how this is possible.

2. Two twins were born 5 minutes apart, yet one twin is two days older than the other. Explain how this is possible.

2 was already guessed, but I'm bored and I was thinking (not the right answer I know but just for fun):
if one is born at 1158pm 28 february and the other at 1203am 1 march, in those years that have 29 february (leap years??) their birthdays would be two days apart :laugh: ... :oops:

about n 1
2 days ago it was 30 december of year 1and he was 17, his birthday is 31 december and he turned 18. now is year 2 and this year he'll turn 19. next year he'll be 20


I had to look up international date line on wikipedia . I'll go hiding now.

A beautiful princess in a far away kingdom wanted to marry a peasant boy.
The king was against the marriage and suggested the decision be left to chance.
The three of them were standing in the courtyard, which was covered in numerous black and white pebbles.
The king claimed he'd picked up one white and one black pebble and put them into a bag.
The peasant boy had to remove one pebble - if it were white he could marry the princess, if it were black he'd have to leave and never see the princess again.
The peasant boy was poor, but not stupid. He noticed that the king, by sleight of hand, had put two black pebbles into the bag.

How did the peasant boy resolve his predicament without accusing the king of cheating? :dance:

Thats an easy one. Put the hand into the bag and take a pebble . Either one will do. ''Accidentally'' drop the pebble Then simply say that if someone will look in the bag and take out the other pebble it'll prove which pebble had been removed . As it will always be black it'll prove the white one was the one picked :laugh:

OK Mr Piparooni-smartypants. :dance:

A man left home on Monday, riding a donkey, to make a pilgrimage to Canterbury. The journey took two days. He stayed two days in Canterbury. The journey home took another two days. He arrived home on Friday.

Explain. :cool:
