Question 1:

Peter Pensive was bragging about his church's baseball team. He said, "Three of our players hit home runs and two of those home runs were hit with the bases loaded. Our guys won 9 to 0 and not a single man crossed home plate." How was this possible?


Answer: They were all married

Its a female team?

[Admin]

Its a female team?


No, but the thinking is sound.

[wfchornet2]

They werent men they were boys?

[Hornmeister]

Don't understand baseball. I was always told you wern't aloud to drop the bat at school.

My guess is they were playing away.

[Emmawfc]

They hit a home run doesnt that mean no one moves bases until the next batter is up?

[Admin]

No

Question 2:

Neon Slick was in a 500 mile road rally when he blew one of his tyres with 200 miles to go. Neon still managed to win the race even though he went 200 miles with a flat tyre. Since none of the other drivers experienced any problems, how could Neon win with a flat?

He simply swapped his wheel for the spare, and crossed the finish line with the flat tyre in the boot.

Assuming he didn't carry a spare, was he on a motorbike, it was the front that blew and he wheelied the rest of the way?

Sounds made up to me, are you sure it wasn't an alias?

1 point. Almost. Another point for the full explanation. Car not a bike.

He was driving a reliant robin?!?!

[Hornmeister]

Was he Michael Knight and the car was kit and they drove the rest of the may in Ski mode?

[Admin]

Well the official answer is that he simply changed the wheel and crossed the finishing line with the flat tyre in the boot! I'll award 1 point to Hornmeister and move on to the next question....quickly!!

Question 3: Two of the fastest horsemen in the kingdom proposed to the king's daughter. The king didn't like either suitor, but he wanted to look fair so he suggested a horse race in which the winner would have his daughter's hand. The only catch was that the winner would be the person whose horse came in second. The king was certain the race would never take place because he felt that neither horseman would let the other win. Finally, the king's daughter made a suggestion to the two horsemen that would guarantee a fair race.

What did she suggest?

Let the horses run without the riders on them.
That way the horses, being effectively dumb animals, would run as they normally would without any outside interferences.

Nope

[wfchornet2]

race as hard as they could and when they got to te other end dismount and go across the line ahead of the horse?

[Hornmeister]

Made them run on foot without their horses?

[wfchornet2]

I dont think thats right.. the question included the phrase "the horse that comes in second"

[Admin]

Nobody right so far. Good spot about the horses though ;)

[wfchornet2]

That finishing first would prove who was in fact the best horseman, their pride would take over and they would be determined not to let the other one prove himself to be the better horseman.

[Admin]

You're all sacked. I might even put this on the main boards, it might generate some interest from the normal drivel, then tell them the answers over here ;D

Good Plan!!

[Hornmeister]

Maybe you could say only people intelligent enough to get the answer can joint the forums here. We need to strenghthen the team not buy in transfers simply to bolster the squad.

[Hornmeister]

[albangura9]

quality rather than quantity ::)

[Admin]

I've put the question on the main boards. Let's see if they can get it without googling ;)

[Hornmeister]

What a nice quality set of responses you got as well.:eek:

Looks like the 'fishal boards are being attacked by trolls at the moment, either that or my expectations of submission quality have be artifically raised by spending time here.

[Admin]

Well someone got it right! The answer is to get each Knight to ride the other Knight's horse. The winning Knight will ahve the losing horse, so winning the hand of the Princess.

[albangura9]

[wfchornet2]

Thats what i said!!!! i just forgot to say it in here!! lol
