Trick Questions

The way you have it worded it sounds as if, in a day and a half a rat and a half always gets consumed. you use the word can in the beginning but then firm up the day and a half part as if it's not flexible.

Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

 

Oh come one... NO ONE knows this one?????



Jedi

 

I understand dinosaur eggs were around l-o-n-g before the evolution of the chicken.

 

What weighs more: an ounce of feathers or an ounce of gold?

An ounce of gold weighs more.

 

Orly?

 

Nope, not if an ounce of feathers are attached to a 3lb chicken.....

 

Google down: "troy ounce"

 

These are like LSAT questions.

We need more!

 

What weighs more: a pound of feathers or a pound of gold?

A pound of feathers weighs more.

 

A pound is a pound, no matter what the mass is.

 

Google down: "troy pound"

 

+1, even if you say troy pound or w/e it's the same, you are comparing a pound for a pound, so 1 troy pound = 1 troy pound, meaning there is no difference. I'm confused

 

Nope troy is 12 oz....feathers are weighed in 16 oz... feathers are weighed in another scale ...avoirdupois which is 16 oz

 

The weight of just about everything in the U.S.A. is measured using the avoirdupois system, under which an ounce is around 28.35 grams, and a pound is 16 of those ounces, or about 453.6 grams.

One of the few things NOT measured using the avoirdupois system is gold, which is always measured using the troy system, under which an ounce is around 31.1 grams, and a pound is 12 of those ounces, or about 373.2 grams.

So a pound is not a pound, an ounce of gold is heavier than an ounce of feathers, and a pound of feathers is heavier than a pound of gold. As the thread title implies, it is a trick question.

 

It sure is

 

Then again, there's the whole "featherweight" angle . . .

 

Have I asked this one before?

If you are riding down the street in a canoe and all the windows fall out, how many eggs does it take to fill a cesspool?










None. Because elephants are not allowed in the showers after 10PM with sneakers....

Makes perfect sense to me......
