Let's see who got smarts in the siccness

On a certain game show, five families were asked to match famous names to faces they were shown, and each correct guess got one point. The families made the following guesses (in order):

The Addams' guessed Otto, Roebling, Steinmetz, Tesla, and Westinghouse.

The Bunkers guessed Tesla, Westinghouse, Otto, Steinmetz, and Roebling.

The Cunninghams guessed Roebling, Tesla, Steinmetz, Westinghouse, and Otto.

The Flintstones guessed Tesla, Roebling, Otto, Steinmetz, and Westinghouse.

The Jetsons guessed Tesla, Westinghouse, Steinmetz, Otto, and Roebling.

No two families got the same number of points. Which family walked home with the grand prize?

Just off top, it's either the Bunkers, Flinstones, or the Jetsons... Because those three chose Tesla as the first answer, which is my first hint... Furthure more, and this is the only way I can think of to deduce the answer, one of those three families got all of the answers right, so they got all five points... Open up notepad and compare... Okay well the hint isn't a hint, it's there to throw you off... After careful counting and comparing in notepad, The Flintstones walked home with the grand prize and the Cunninghams should be shot because they're a bunch of idiots.

Five friends are all pilots: Mr. Johnson, Mr. Bruckner, Dr. Thompson, Mr. Landis, and Lord Christopher. Each pilot has one daughter but named his plane after a friend's daughter. Mr. Landis's plane is the Carla Jean; Dr. Thompson's, the Rene. Elizabeth Johnson's father owns the Lindsey Kay. Mr. Bruckner owns the Mary Lynn, which is named after Mr. Landis's daughter. Carla's father used Lord Chrisopher's daughter's name for his plane. Who is Lindsey Kay's father?

These are so easy to do in notepad... Mr. Bruckner is Lindsey Kay's father... You don't wanna see me on a job interview... Pencil and a piece of scratch paper and it's over with. If I had to do these in my head though I think I would be fucked because then I couldn't keep track of all the comparisons and notes, especially with the Family & Missionary/Cannibal riddles... Those you just gotta draw out and keep track of who's with who and what time... I'm done, I spent the majority of my first few hours thinking, I'm straight, it's time to vegetate and watch TV for a few hours.

Get to work mo! And play some Malice for Billy. He liked the song on my myspace

 

[Mean Mugg]

I used to have to do riddles like this for job interviews... Thinking the problem through is what they want to accomplish... Here we go.

The maid transports the dog to the other island and rows back. The maid transports one of the sons to the island and rows back with the dog. The father takes his other son to the island drops him off and rows back. The mother takes the father to the other island and drops him off, mother rows back. The maid and the dog goto the other island and drop themselves off, the father rows back. The mother and father goto the other island, father gets off, mother rows back. The mother and a daughter goto the other island and the maid rows back with the dog. The maid then takes the reaming daughter to the other island drops her off and rows back. The maid picks up the dog and rows back to the other island where all family members have been safely transported.

^ I hope that makes sense, it does to me. What really would have made this hard would have been if there was a limit to how many times they could row back and forth between the islands.

*takes a bow*

HAHAHA YOU FUCKER!!! Yeah that makes sense to me. I was stuck w/ the father and 2 sons safely across with the rest of the family stuck, I couldn't get passed that w/o violating one of the rules. And yes you got the Cannibals and Missionaries riddle solved, good shit.

 

[Tall Andrew]

haha good shit hob


I'm confused, I forgot to mention, 2 must be on the boat to paddle and steer in order for the boat to move. But from what I read it sounds like you gave the same answer as snake.

um.... if 2 must be on the boat then only 2 people can get across.... because in order for the boat to return to the other side they'd have to be on it. either you got the details mixed up or it's impossible. As for my solution, it works so that there's always more missionaries than cannibals on any side or an equal number, therefore i solved it under the circumstances that it's actually possible and 1 person can operate the boat alone.

 

[Tall Andrew]

This one made me think... I was focused on the what does the rain have to do with it part... The man is short, when he goes to work he can reach the ground floor button in the elevator... When he comes home from work he can only reach the 20th floor button and has to walk the rest of the way... but when it's raining out he can reach the 40th floor because he uses his umbrella to press the button. Fuckin idiot should always have an umbrella with him then cause that's quite a trek each day, and I'm good with that. LOL

forreal? oh shit fuckin genius.

 

[Mean Mugg]

^haha shit you're right, fuck I can't remember all the details to the problem but Mo-X got that shit right.

 

[mo-x]

I used to have to do these to get jobs, and if you couldn't critically think your way through it, you didn't get the job... Most of these problems you just gotta think it out until all the possible solutions present themselves... I'm still wondering if I got Mustynutz's question right... It's gotta be Bird Shit. LOL

 

[bigbreaded]

Give me food, and I will live; give me water, and I will die. What am I?

OH THATS A GREMLIN.

 

[Mean Mugg]

^naw fool the answer is them aliems on the movie "Signs."

 

[2ill4u]

alright. one cannibal and one missionary get in the boat, the missionary stays and drops off the cannibal, then goes and pics up another cannibal. the missionary gets dropped off on the other side and the cannibal is now in control of the boat and goes back. .......therefore i solved it under the circumstances ....

that is two cannibals on the same side even if it is on the boat. therefore, you are wrong.

 

[karloz]

This is the cannibal/missionaries puzzle game... I think there are more of them there also:

[mustynutz]

I've been thinking about this one since just before the cannibal one and it's got me stuck... I think I'm thinking too hard... Trying to apply a nerdy perspective to an otherwise easily sovlable equation. Hrm.

Guess 1: You're water. Your color can change to black and white depending on the earths rotation relative to the sun and the refraction of light through you. You travel with the wind in the form of rain. You're edible because you're water, that's a given. And you could kill someone if used wrong in many different forms, drowning someone being the most obvious, but in light of recent events you could smash someones face in like the weight of a million bricks of concrete thus killing them in the form of a Tsunami.

Guess 2: Awww fuck it, h2o makes the most sense to me.

What's the answer mustynutz?

Edit: Damnit, this one is just gay... You're not a cloud because clouds don't kill people except when they're too low to the ground and cause traffic accidents and clouds aren't edible.

Edit 2: Okay I got it, you're a person, you're mother was white, father black, so you're mixed race... you're a transient and travel with the wind (metaphor here) as you please... You're edible, Mr. Dahmer said humans taste like chicken... And you could kill someone if they pissed you off... LMAO, WTF, why am I having such a hard time with this one. Maybe I should eat. Yeah, I'll eat, I just woke up.

wow dogg...you's a analyzing muthafucka....lol..

i made it up dogg, i really hate to break it to you...fuck if i was a teacher you would get an A+ for analysis....lol
i really hate to tell you its a joke...lol....i even tried of thinkin of a right answer...lol.....
smoke one and think of an answer...whatever you comeupwit...its right...

 

[mustynutz]

lol @ Mo-x sayin he need to eat...if ya'll ever seen him, man.....thats a big ass white boy for you....lol
he like 6'5 and 550....

 

[mo-x]

i really hate to tell you its a joke

DOG!!!!! WTF?!?! Man, bro I was really sittin there for an hour straight hunched over this keyboard, then I moved to the couch and thought about it some more... and only came up with two possible answers... LMMFAO, dog you're a fool!

Hey now, I might be big, but I'm pretty smart too sometimes!!!!

:devious:

 

[mo-x]

^naw fool the answer is them aliems on the movie "Signs."

LOL, that was the first thing I thought in my mind until I kept reading and saw 2-0-Sixx's answer which made more sense to me, but fuck that, them aliens from Signs apply too!!! haha!

 

[Mean Mugg]

lol I knew musty made that shit up, you should know by now to really never take Musty seriously, well most of the time. But since you like riddles, here goes some more, don't cheat.

1. You throw away the outside and cook the inside. Then you eat the outside and throw away the inside. What did you eat?

2. What can you catch but not throw?

3. I can run but not walk. Wherever I go, thought follows close behind. What am I?

4. I have holes in my top and bottom, my left and right, and in the middle. But I still hold water. What am I?

5. Throw it off the highest building, and I'll not break. But put me in the ocean, and I will. What am I?

easy one I remember from my child hood. A baby moves around with 4 limbs, a dog moves around w/ 4 limbs, a man walks around w/ 3 legs, how is that?

 

[Mac Jesus]

it's just like that chinese game on ebaums world, a long time ago i played it and finally figured it out but I don't know how. http://www.ebaumsworld.com/rivergame.html

Just off the top of the brain as quick as possible... it's 9:35pm PST.

1. Someone who just went through McDonalds on an impulse and came to their senses and realized they were on a low carb diet and could only eat the meat. (Peel off the wrapper, microwave it, eat the bun in the middle)
2. Colds/Disease
3. Your Nose
4. Sponge
5. Toliet Paper
6. His two legs, plus a prostetic

1 is definately wrong as far as the traditional answer is concerned... and 6 is also a toss up but hey it's all I could think of off the top of the dome quickly...

EDIT: An old person with a cane has three legs possibly?

 

[28g w/o the bag]

A man lives on the top floor of a forty story building. Everytime he goes to work, he would take the elevator from the top floor to the ground floor. When he comes home from work, he would take the elevator to the 20th floor and walk up the stairwell for the next 20 floors. He would only go all the way up by elevator when it's raining. Why?

he's a midget and can't reach the button on the elevator for the 40th floor. on a rainy day, he'd hit the button with his umbrella.

funny thing about that riddle is that on all the elevators i've been on, the smaller numbers are on top and the higher numbers are at the bottom.
