Hi,

Some more brain teasers...

*One snowy night, Sherlock Holmes was in his house sitting by a fire. All of a sudden a snowball came crashing through his window, breaking it.

Holmes got up and looked out the window just in time to see three neighborhood kids who were brothers run around a corner. Their names were John Crimson, Mark Crimson and Paul Crimson.

T

he next day Holmes got a note on his door that read "? Crimson. He broke your window."

Which of the three Crimson brothers should Sherlock Holmes question about the incident?

*1-2-3-4-5-6

I am a 6 letter word.

Letters 6-5-2 spell out a drink.

Letters 4-5-2-3 spell out a fruit.

Letters 1-2-6 spell out a pet.

Letters 3-2-6 spell out a pest, which often gets eaten by 1-2-6.

What am I?

*This is a simple anagram game. I'll give you a description of a word, and an anagram of the word.

Can you guess the word?

Ex.: This anagram of "sore" is something you might find in a garden.

Answer: rose

1. This anagram of "save" is something that might contain tulips.

2. Leopards and Dalmatians both have this anagram of "post".

3. You may be this anagram of "ads" if you did something wrong.

4. Use this anagram of "pore" to pull something heavy.

5. This anagram of "ate" goes good with cookies.

okie
heres one
Consider an arrow in flight. At any given moment of time, a snapshot could be taken of this arrow. In this snapshot, the arrow would not be moving. Let us now take another snapshot, leaving a very small gap of time between them. Again, the arrow is stationary. We can keep taking snapshots for each moment of time, each of which shows the arrow to be stationary. Therefore the overall effect is that the arrow never moves, however it still hits the target!
Where lies the flaw in the logic?
(i think this is tough coz i dint understand it, even after readin the ans)
all the very best
i am havin fun tryin to search tough ones for u , lol
n i m sure u r gonna hav fun solving thm
:P

well ...
The Arrow does not move !!
But what about the surrounding / background !!
In each of the snapshots .... the surrounding is moving ... the target is slowly / gradually / steadily moving into the picture and "hitting" the arrow ...
In your snapshot version of the situation ... the Arrow is your point of reference and the World around (the surrounding as well as the Target) is moving .... In this frame of reference ... the Target and not the Arrow is moving ....
Boy !! A case of Target hitting the Arrow !!
hey Sunayna ... does all this make sense .... ???
This tricky problem has probably got its roots in the 'Theory of Relativity' propounded by Eintein !!
As i once read somewhere ....
Money is a Relative Term !!
More the Money you have ;
More the Relatives you have ;-))
...shoOOonya . . .
PS - This Thread is the Best one I have seen on CiteHr ... more so because of my own inclination for brain ticklers and puzzlers !!
