## imqwerty one year ago tricky problem :) without typos first one to answer properly gets one owlbuck :)

1. imqwerty

A bull travels a certain distance everyday :) .Strangely enough, two of its legs travel 25 miles each day and the other two legs travel 26miles. it would seem that the other two legs must be one mile ahead of the other two legs, but of course this can;t be true. Since the bull is normal, how can this be possible :)

2. anonymous

don't know

3. SolomonZelman

The legs that have travelled 26m were "dragging" (sort of) the other legs that travelled slower, prevailing a distance of 1 mile less (i.e. 25m).

4. SolomonZelman

But, really, I don't know $$....$$

5. anonymous

My brain hurts trying to figure out this problem XD. There's too much complexion >.<

6. imqwerty

lol nope @SolomonZelman

7. SolomonZelman

Then, I don't see a possibility:) Or, a bull on a "Procrustean bed" ? :O

8. SolomonZelman

or Procrustean track ...

9. imqwerty

nope :)

10. anonymous

may i insert a problem thats tricky(messes with the brain)

11. imqwerty

ok :D i'd make make it tricky prblm

12. lordhelix8th

its not possible

13. anonymous

is it two humans dressed in a bull cotume in it one of them walks 25 miles and the other one walks 16 miles

14. imqwerty

it is possible :)

15. anonymous

26*

16. anonymous

costume*

17. anonymous

i cant spell today...

18. imqwerty

its a bull a normal bull nd not 2 humans :)

19. anonymous

you never said it was an actual bull, you said it looked like a normal bull...am i right...

20. anonymous

thats how i read it anyways

21. imqwerty

u can try as much as u can but 2 humans in a costume can't look like a normal bull + we need a proper answer :)

22. anonymous

can i at least ask mine? its multiple choice but 97% of people choose the wrong answer

23. imqwerty

Hey :D u shuld make another post for that

24. anonymous

but who would look at "my" questions, oh yah right no one does in a post

25. lordhelix8th

its problay possible for the bull charges up when it sees red but we dont know which 2 legs that runs faster than the other 2 legs

26. lordhelix8th

just a guess

27. imqwerty

haha :D so u mean that two legs with a speed like 30metres/sec and the other two at 10m/s :D hehe this is not possible cause the speed of bull=speed of all the legs :D can half of a car go at 100km/hr nd the other half at 1km/hr its obviously no :)

28. NightCrawlers_

pizza with popcorn you guys.

29. anonymous

wait, was the bull butchered and 2 of the legs went 25 miles in one direction and the other 2 legs went 26 miles in a diff direction?

30. imqwerty

lol how can a bull travel 2miles on 2 legs cx haha :D

31. anonymous

a car

32. anonymous

if its butchered the bull is transported by truck normally to give to a restaurant so they can make food from it

33. imqwerty

no! :)

34. imqwerty

if he travels 26 miles with all the 4 legs then all the 4 legs travel 26miles but it is given that 2 of them traveled 25miles :)

35. anonymous

give a hint, will ya

36. Majesty69

why am i wasting time

37. anonymous

cause youlls get an owlbuck...

38. Majesty69

but i dont get it

39. imqwerty

hint-if u can't do anything with the bull then try do something else :) don't jst stick to the bull

40. Majesty69

what

41. imqwerty

:)

42. Majesty69

can you give one more small hint

43. imqwerty

ok lemme think

44. Majesty69

ok

45. imqwerty

hint 2 - everything in the world is normal nothing extra ordinary u jst need to take the correct path to win :)

46. anonymous

are you talking about legs in a race...

47. anonymous

like a section of a race

48. imqwerty

haha win here means win this contest :D to win the owlbuck

49. Majesty69

the bull is one mile long

50. anonymous

you have to admit i did think outside the box quite a few times

51. Majesty69

therefore making the extra mile between both sets of legs

52. imqwerty

a normal bull cannot be one mile long + it can't travel 1 mile on just 2 legs :D

53. anonymous

even if the bull was 1 mile long it still would walk 25 miles for all f4 legs

54. imqwerty

^

55. imqwerty

lol theres no bull which can do that XD

56. imqwerty

we need a proper answer :D

57. Majesty69

omg another hint?

58. imqwerty

ok :) jst because i want u all to give the answer i'll give one more hint $\begin{array}l\color{red}{\text{H}}\color{orange}{\text{i}}\color{#E6E600}{\text{n}}\color{green}{\text{t}}\color{blue}{\text{3}}\color{purple}{\text{-}}\color{purple}{\text{T}}\color{red}{\text{h}}\color{orange}{\text{i}}\color{#E6E600}{\text{n}}\color{green}{\text{k}}\color{blue}{\text{ }}\color{purple}{\text{a}}\color{purple}{\text{b}}\color{red}{\text{o}}\color{orange}{\text{u}}\color{#E6E600}{\text{t}}\color{green}{\text{ }}\color{blue}{\text{t}}\color{purple}{\text{h}}\color{purple}{\text{e}}\color{red}{\text{ }}\color{orange}{\text{p}}\color{#E6E600}{\text{a}}\color{green}{\text{t}}\color{blue}{\text{h}}\color{purple}{\text{ }}\color{purple}{\text{t}}\color{red}{\text{h}}\color{orange}{\text{e}}\color{#E6E600}{\text{ }}\color{green}{\text{b}}\color{blue}{\text{u}}\color{purple}{\text{l}}\color{purple}{\text{l}}\color{red}{\text{ }}\color{orange}{\text{m}}\color{#E6E600}{\text{u}}\color{green}{\text{s}}\color{blue}{\text{t}}\color{purple}{\text{ }}\color{purple}{\text{h}}\color{red}{\text{a}}\color{orange}{\text{v}}\color{#E6E600}{\text{e}}\color{green}{\text{ }}\color{blue}{\text{t}}\color{purple}{\text{a}}\color{purple}{\text{k}}\color{red}{\text{e}}\color{orange}{\text{n}}\color{#E6E600}{\text{.}}\color{green}{\text{}}\end{array}$

59. anonymous

68. anonymous

69. imqwerty

wait a sec :) u can but 1st lets finish off this discussion :)

70. Majesty69

71. imqwerty

ok so the answer is - the bull operates a mill and travels in circular clockwise direction :) . The 2 outside legs travel a greater distance than the 2 inside legs :D hehe

72. anonymous

wow

73. Majesty69

i feel soooooooooooooooooooo stupid......................i was thinking something like that x'D not the whole mill though

74. imqwerty

no one got it so the owlbuck remains with me :) i will be asking such questions time to time very frequently so this is not the end u can win owlbucks evry next day :)

75. imqwerty

79. anonymous

there are three doors, and you must choose one of them to open, the first one has ninja assassins that kill you instantly, the second has loins that havent been fed for 3 week and the third door has a raging fire in it( you must go in the door you choose)

80. imqwerty

haha :D i wuld wait for the lions to die cause of hunger and then choose that gate :)

81. Majesty69

Go through the door with fire

82. anonymous

you were so close, you have to choose them within 30 seconds of being asked so there is no waiting

83. Majesty69

?

84. anonymous

the answer is the second door cause the lions havent been fed for 3 weeks, so they are DEAD

85. imqwerty

:o ok :) but hey the lions wuld be probably dead cause they are hungry frm 3 weeks

86. Majesty69

I have one

87. imqwerty

88. imqwerty

89. Majesty69

oh and btw they can live longer than 3 weeks without food
