Questions

Two strangers from different parts of Australia both build similar fences in their home towns. They call the hardware store for some materials and are quoted as follows: 1 will cost them $2, 2 will cost them $2, 12 will cost them $4 and a 144 will cost $6. What were they buying?

Answers

They both forgot to add address numbers to their houses. If each individual number cost them $2, then one (the number 1) will cost $2., two (the number 2) will also cost $2 etc the number 0ne forty four (1, 4, 4.) Is three digits, and so costs 6 dollars.

Questions

Two women meet and one says to the other 'I bet you I can walk around you three times, and before I walk around you the third time you will move your feet off of that spot you're standing on. I will do this without hitting or touching you in any physical way.' The other woman replies 'I bet you $100 you can't.' After saying this she stood still and was preparing for the woman to circle around her. She circled her once then twice and then at this point the woman who is trying to stand still throws her arms up in disappointment realising that she has lost. What happened?

Answers

After the first woman circled her twice she then stood and waited. Since she was allowed to walk around she could go home, eat and do as many other things as she wanted as long as she didn't circle her the third time. Since the other woman had to stand still she could not do these things. She then realized that the first woman never would circle her a third time. This then caused her to move and cough up the $100 as she now wanted to get on with her life.
