    Belbab,

    Move one coin so the pattern looks like this. The coin you move must remain as part of the pattern.

    Place the lowest coin on top of the next one up.

    What did the loud voice in the operators head say to him.

    Was it, "throw the rope (that had tied the boat to rocks) out to them" ?

    Here is some for you all:

    What does 10 x 9 x 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 x 0 = ?

    Shouldn't take much longer than the time to read it to figure this one out.

    You shouldn't need a calculator for this one either.

    Here is another:

    1. Think of a number, any number. I am going to call your number Y.

    2. Multiply your number by 2. That is: Y x 2 = New number called Z.

    3. Add 80 to this number Z. Call this number W.

    4. Now divide W by 2: W / 2 = New number called X

    5. Subtract your original number Y from X.

    The answer you get should be 40. If not, check your math.

    Here is the entire equation: ((Y x 2) + 80) / 2 - Y = 40.

    If you are confused, let someone else balance your checkbook. LOL

    How much dirt is there in a hole 3 ft deep, 6 ft long and 4 ft wide?

    In a large western city, 80% of the phone numbers are listed, 20% of the phone numbers are businesses, and 20% of the phone numbers start with the numeral "2". If you were to take a random sample of 1000 phone numbers from the city's phone book, how many numbers would you expect to be unlisted, non-business phone numbers that start with a numeral other than "2"?

    That's just MEAN, maximumflash. THERE IS NO DIRT in a hole. It's empty.

    ...now I am worried about tackling the telephone book question. Is it a trick? I got 128.

    Hahahaha!!!

    The phone book question is just as simple as the dirt in a hole question. Answer is not 128.

    Phone book question answer is None. If the number is unlisted it won't be in a phone book.
