Ah...that's a good-un!

A man builds a house with all sides facing south. A bear walks past, what colour is it??

If all sides face south it has to be at the south pole - is it only at the north pole there are polar bears - so the answer is there 's no bear??

Otherwise the answer is white!

That's a hard one!! Could it be any colour because can't any bear go into the house? I've got a pretty easy one just not for me!!! ok Why is it illegal for a man who lives in London to be buried in Birmingham...

if all walls face south its gota be at the north pole.... hasnt it?

Assuming it's a polar bear, and polar bears are found at the north pole - the bear is black.

A house can't have all the sides facing south unless it's all one flat wall. So the bear is half white (the side nearest to the wall) and the other brown, facing the sun! Just a half-baked guess!

Because it's not nice to bury someone who is still alive....

Yeah!!! You got it right!!! Ahh well I can't be the only one bad at logical puzzles I don't think!!! And that bear one is still hard. I suppose you could use hairspray and make it go whatever colour you want!!!

u can have all walls facing south if it is built around the north pole, assuming it's the outside of the wall we mean to be facing south. the bear is white.... i think

I think the bear is white - polar bears live in the circumpolar arctic (not antarctic) and for a house to have all its walls facing south it must be fair and square sitting on top of the north pole, (assuming you can get all the bricks etc,) which in fact would make it an igloo not a house in the first place and I'm completely lost now unless it's the right answer anyway!

that's exactly what I meant!

But polar bears are black, not white....

are they?

Huh?? They are?

eeeeehhhh??

do u mean black skinned?

They're black skinned with transparent fur, and don't look anywhere near as white when taken out of the arctic. If you've seen them in zoos, they always surround them by white painted walls or people would be disappointed!

wow, you really do learn something new everyday!

A guy flies a plane. Fully loaded and nothing is wrong. He prepares to drop a bomb. When he pushes the button, nothing happens. Why?

I'll give the answer after lunch on Sat if no one gets it.

he pressed the wrong button??

What kind of plane was it? If was during WW2, no-one opened the hatch?????

I take it he's taken off properly?

Or maybe he's not actually inside the plane - maybe it's one of those remote-controlled ones, and the remote's not working properly?! (Grasping at straws here!)

Flying upside-down?

... so if the walls are a decent white, the bears look even dingier by comparison?

that's what I would have said! are we right??

I can't bear the suspense! What's the answer to the plane brainteaser? PLEEAASE!

In answer to the bear one, yes, the, bear is white.

YAP, interesting fact, but the polar bear is still in the arctic, it would have to be because all the sides of the house are facing south. Therefore it's white. Well, appears white anywho

Unless the walls are black

Yes, yes....or unless it's being chased by a green monster, then it's green....

I found this in an ATC intelligence quiz. Another one was -

Divide 30 by half and add 10.

Nice

Do you actually want us to guess the answer for this one? (The numbers one?) By the way, what happened to the plane?!

If you like. It's purely READING the question......

70

I loved the polar bear one!

But was the plane flying upside down or not????

Had the plane even taken off??
edit - oh you said he flies it so I suppose it had ...

Yep I got 70 as well but knowing these kind of riddles I wasn't sure if I'd somehow missed something else maybe in the pronunciation.
Like the old:

ABCD goldfish
MR no goldfish
SDR
RDL.

Or:

FUNEX?
S, EFX.
FUNEM?
S, EFM....
i can't think of any more to go with this one...

Various answers -

25

10

13

12

all of which I can (I think!?!) justify, depending on how you understand the question. Then again it's probably none of those.

If you divide 30 by 0.5 you get 60. Add 10.

Yup, the answer is 70.

FUNET?
S, VFT.
OK, MXNT41.

VFN10EX
YFNVNEX?

IFE10M
etc!

Okay I'm completely confused!!! But this is one that I heard recently and it's pretty easy and you might've heard it before but...
In the pink bungalow everything is pink...so...
1.What colour are the cushions?
2. What colour is the table?
3. What colour are the stairs?

HAA! There aren't any stairs - it's a bungalow!!!!!!!

Unless of course, they've added a loft conversion, but it wouldn't then be a true bungalow!

Yup!!! Everyones really good at these apart from me!!! lol okay another random one...

A guy called BOB was flying over the FRENCH coast on a BRIGHT PURPLE hot air balloon and he was drinking a big glass of sherry. But he accidentally dropped it because he was a bit stupid. He got another glass out but he dropped it again. So... which one landed on the ground first and why?

It's possible that neither of them did - maybe they both fell in the sea.

Is it the hot air balloon that landed first, because the sherry glasses would have smashed....or fallen in the sea...

Of course, they could both have landed in the hot air balloon itself....

I think the first glass, because it had sherry in it. The second one was empty, hence lighter and fell at a slower speed??

Either that, or the sherry made the balloon into a huge fireball, and everything became BOMB ALASKA

That's a common misconception: the acceleration of an object towards the earth due to gravity does not depend on its weight; the only thing that can make a difference is air resistance, which is why feathers fall more slowly than cricket balls. A brick and a cricket ball, though, will fall at the same rate.

But I still want to know the correct answer to the plane one!!!
