A mother and father have six sons and each son has one sister. How many people are in that family?

A jar has 4 amoebas in it to start. Amoebas split their cells in two ( therefore doubling in size) once every minute. The jar will be completely filled in 10 minutes. How long would it take to fill the same sized jar if had 8 amoebas in it to start?

Joan and Jane are sisters. Jean is Joan's daughter and 12 years younger than her aunt. Joan is twice as old as Jean. Four years ago, Joan was the same age as Jane is now, and Jane was twice as old as her niece. How old is Jean?

Add the three answers together and you should get 34.

Yeah :)

How did you do the last one by the way? I had to construct 4 simultaneous equations, and work it through from there. Did I miss some really obvious piece of common sense or did you do that too?

I just got it by looking at these two parts.

'Jean is Joan's daughter and 12 years younger than her aunt.'

Jane is Jean's aunt, so Jean will always be 12 years younger than Jane.

'and Jane was twice as old as her niece.'

Only age that works is 12, as when it's doubled it has a difference of, you guessed it, 12. Then just added the 4 years, 'cause it said 'four years ago.'

P.S. - Your website rocks. xDD

Yeah! Well, kinda. I think the actual answer is meant to be 'asleep' but dead is just as good.

...hmm well I thought to myself; 'you know, he has a point!'

So I promptly downloaded flash and started to create masterpieces.

Unfortunately I have no patience for tutorials, and my common sense is somewhat lacking, plus I'm a slow learner.

So I sort of ended up with this... and it only took a full hour!

I particularly like the way I couldn't figure out how to get the music to stop so it just plays over itself again and again.

Skware-spolsion

It might take a bit of time to load.

Oh and I made this too!

Flash flash flash!

Ok, here's an oldie.

As i was walking to St Ives I met a man with 7 wives.

Each wife had 7 sacks

Each sack held 7 cats

Each cat had 7 kittens

Kittens, cats, sacks, wives, how many going to St Ives?

One Person.
The man with the wives sacks cats and kittens were met on the way and there is no evidence to suggest they are going to St Ives. For all we know you may have stopped off at a pub, the landlord having 7 wives and all the other detritus mentioned above.

As annoying as this comment will be, you could answer 'yes' if asked if you're asleep cause you could be lying :D It's dead.
