The world of math. When you guys start talking like this, it comes out as Spanish in my mind... XD

Here's my favorite brain teaser ever. You've probably heard it before:

A man is pushing his car. When he stops at the hotel, he knows he is bankrupt. How?
He's playing Monopoly! XD

Just turn one of the 3s upside down and make a new 8(8+8+8=24). ;P

Seriously... assuming I am allowed to change the order...
8\(3-(8\3))

Did I get it right? ;-D

According to my calculations, if the plane was on the ground, the albatross would have to be at an elevation of 1.51^10 meters, or 1/10 of the distance to the sun. In other words, if an object wants to cast a shadow of an object ten times lager than it must be one tenth closer to the light source. Am I right?

DING! DING! DING! XD

And as it asked for "altitude" , it's not possible. :P



I'll need to think more about Tribe's...

The answer seriously IS Monopoly! He's PUSHING his car, and he comes to a HOTEL. He's BROKE because he doesn't have enough money to pay for the rent.
All that is gold does not glitter
Not all who wander are lost
The old that is strong does not wither
Deep roots are not touched by the frost

From the ashes a fire shall be woken
A light from the shadows shall spring
Renewed shall be blade that was broken
The crownless again shall be king

Yes, the answer is that he's playing "Monopoly"

Yay! 8/3 is 2 and 2/3. 3-2 and 2/3 is 1/3. 8/(1/3) is 24! :D

It's funny how you find you enjoy your life when you're happy to be alive.

That was actually very tricky, but then I wasn't thinking about fractions. :P

Don't feel bad, I didn't either. :P

But I should have guessed the Monopoly one
