Q1. John Joe, a door-to-door salesman, was selling a high tech car wax that he claimed was harder than steel. JJ offered one container for £19 or two for £33. He said that his profit was the same either way, and since these were his last two containers, he simply wanted the quick sale. If we take JJ's word for his profit margin, what must each container of wax cost him?
__________________________________________________ _______________________
Answer:
£14 as if he sells one pot for £19 it amounts to a £5 profit.
Two pots would amount to £28, so selling two for £33 again means making a £5 profit.

£14?

[Cude>2<]

Too late probably but I would say 14 aswell.

[Defunct]

£14 is correct, but I'll only give 1 point. An extra point for an explanation.

There goes the extra point. New question later.

I don't like this question.

If he sold both containers for £19 he'd make ten quid profit. Either JJ is an idiot or there is something dodgy about the goods and he wants shot of them.

Q2. The music stopped and the crowd in the tent watched as the blindfolded man fell to his death. The man was murdered. How did it happen?

A: It was a circus. The blind man was a tighrope walker and the music stopping was the cue that he'd reached the end of the rope, and to stop.

What STUPID CLOT is going to fall for "car wax is harder than steel"?

There's some THICK NUMPTIES about.

[Round_the_Corner]

I know this.

Bloke is a tightrope walker or a trapeze artist. The music stoping is a signal for him to let go or something.

They DELIBERATELY stopped the music early.

Oh dear

Crowd, tent and blindfold make me think it was in a circus. And the only clue is music, so I assume music was a cue for the blindfolded man to walk or not walk along a tightrope? The music stopped and he fell to his death. So the band/ conductor killed him.

The man was RTC.

[Round_the_Corner]

Yeah but only by a v. little bit Al.

I expect the B-i-C will give us many points each being such a NICE CHAP.

To keep you thinking while the slow old pensioner (Admin) gets another question....

A cabin, locked from the inside, is perched on the side of a mountain. It is forced open, and thirty people are found dead inside. They had plenty of food and water. What happened?

Correct. 3 points and the lead until the next question.

I'm not slow, I was having a nap.

The answer to yours is that it was an aircraft that had crashed into the mountain.
