1 ~
I have a flower bed.
In this flower bed, I have 3 ( Three ) types of flowers.
I have; Tulips; Daisy's and; Roses.
There are 3 ( three ) times as many flowers all up as there are Roses.
I have 1/2 ( Half ) as many Tulips as I do Roses and Daisy's combined.
And, finally, I have 2 ( Two ) times as many Daisy's and Tulips combined as I do Roses.
How many flowers do I have in my Flower bed?


2 ~
A baker has a cake.
He cut's this cake into 8 ( Eight ) peices.
He only made 3 ( Three ) cuts with his knife.
How did he do it?


3 ~
A man has a Fox, a Chicken, and a bag of Grain.
This man is walking with these 3 ( Three ) items.
He comes to a river.
He can only take 1 ( One ) of his t3 ( Three ) items across at a time.
He *must* transport all 3 ( Three ) items to the other side of the river.
The man knows that if he leaves the Fox with the Chicken, it will eat it.
He also knows that if he leaves the Chicken with the Grain, it will eat it.
The man manages to get all 3 ( Three ) items to the other side ( in perfect condition I might add ).
How did he do it?


That's it from me

Jess.

ok, for the boat one:
-he takes the chicken across and drops him off
-he goes back and grabs the grain
-he drops the grain off and grabs the chicken
-he goes back and drops the chicken off and grabs the fox
-he takes the fox back
-he goes back and grabs the chicken
-he drops him off
I'll work on the other ones
EDIT: the baker one:
he cuts it in half and then fourths, and then stacks them and makes one final cut
EDIT (Again): 1 of each flower would work I think, meaning 3 in total

But, there's a much, much simpler way to do the Cake one, but that does work

Oh, and I never mentioned a boat for the Forx, Chicken dilema! I guess you've heard that one before eh? lol.

You just sap the fun out of everything eh? lol, jk.

I had heard it, but it said a river, and I assumed they weren't walking, but they could I guess

ok here's another


Help a family to cross to the other side of the bridge.

Notice that it's night.There's 1 lamp.A maximium of two persons at a time, and they must have the lamp with them.

Each person walks at a different speed: the first boy(1 sec), the second boy(3 sec),the mother(6 sec), the father(8 sec) and the grandfather(12 sec)

A pair must walk together at the rate of the slower person.

The lamp enough for 30 sec only!!!

If you don't understand what I'm saying go here http://www.plastelina.net/games/game3.html it's the riddle in flash

For the cake one, look at these;

The red lines are the cuts made.

Pretty simple eh?
