Hello everybody. I hope today finds you well. First off I would like to announce the winners of the Brain Teaser Contest. There was a higher number of entrants for this contest than we have had for a bit so I am guessing that you folks out there in the Community liked this contest. Maybe we will have to run another one soon. One with harder questions.

As for the questions here they are with the answers.

Question 1.

You’re the pilot of an airplane that travels from New York to Chicago - a distance of 800 miles. The plane goes 200 miles an hour, and it makes one stop for 30 minutes. What is the pilot’s name?
Whatever your name is.

Question 2.

Can you arrange for Jane to stand behind Lee and Lee to stand behind Jane at the same time? How?

Yes. Stand back to back.

Question 3.

Is it legal for a man to marry his widow’s sister?

Legality has nothing to do with it. Only dead men have widows.


Question 4.

There are 10 black stockings and 10 white stockings in a drawer. If you reach into the drawer in the dark, what is the least number of stockings you must take out before you are sure of a pair that matches?

Three.


So who won? Several people did. In fact six people won.

Ian E Coleman
Winston Hope Smith
I-Bleed-Blue-93
Bhane
Appleman
Nogin the Nog

Well the winning prize was to be 1000 IEP. But I also said that it would be split if more than one person won. I didn’t expect six winners. So each of you will receive 1 gold each.

Congratulations to all of you. Great job.



Today was to be the deadline for nominations for the September Community Awards. I say was because we only had four citizens actually take the time so fill out the nomination form. So I am going to extend the deadline until Wednesday October 16th.

Just click on the Nominate Now picture below to fill out the form.
