Tomorrow’s post today so I can slack off. Hence, it shall be dated with tomorrow’s date. WordPress’ date stamp is a lie. However, the cake is not. (If you’re wondering about my mental state, I’m wondering about it too. I’m always like this when I just wake up – incoherent and delirious.)
#2 – July 16th, 2008
A man and his wife have five children. Half of them are boys. How is this possible?
Also, many thanks to everyone who ventured a guess in the last puzzle (Llora-chan got it on her second try). Solution is posted in Comment #9.
Update: Because I didn’t expect anyone to get the last one so soon.
#3 – Still July 16th, 2008
A horse travels a certain distance each day. However, two of its legs travel 30 km while the other two travel 31 km. Since the horse is quite normal, how is this possible?

Gaa~ Let’s see… “Half of them” doesn’t necessarily have to mean ONLY “half of them.” And since 5 is an odd number it wouldn’t work out evenly unless one of them was half a boy and half a girl.
So they are ALL boys.
Also, about the date stamp…
WordPress is at a different time than we are. Right now, it’s still July 15th for me. But for WordPress, it’s already July 16th.
There’s a way to change it so that your WordPress matches your time, but I can’t figure that out.
#1. Try using that logic on Mr Mac’s tests, son.
#2. it’s going in circles, or in some other curved path such that the legs on the inside travel a shorter distance than those on the outside.
moar plz =)
The horse isn’t normal. It’s retarded.
Alright, Llora-chan and samosa got #2 and #3 respectively.
samosa: If we assume that I am inherently intelligent, then it is my environment which accounts for my mediocre data performance. Your class was generally smarter than mine.
blissmo: the horse is retarded. Or very dense to walk for 30km in a circle.
