Mind Benders
These aren't necessarily jokes, but they are so weird that you'll
probably just start laughing after you read them anyway. That is until
you start racking your brain trying to figure out how they work out
how they do!
3 guys go for dinner, each buys a $10 steak. At the end of the meal,
they collect $30 between the three of them to cover the cost of the
meals and gives it to the waitress. She goes back to the cash
register, where the overlooking manager says "Those dinners are
discounted, you need to give them $5 back." So the waitress gets the
five dollars, and returns to the table. Not knowing how to split $5
between the three of them, she gives 1 dollar to each of the three
patrons, and kept two for herself.
Now if you do the math, together they paid $30, got $3 back meaning
they only paid $27. The waitress kept $2. This totals $29. Where did
the last dollar go?
So you want a day off. Let's take a look at what you are asking for.
There are 365 days per year available for work. There are 52 weeks per
year in which you already have 2 days off per week, leaving 261 days
available for work. Since you spend 16 hours each day away from work,
you have used up 170 days, leaving only 91 days available. You spend
30 minutes each day on coffee break which counts for 23 days each
year, leaving only 68 days available.
With a 1 hour lunch each day, you used up another 46 days, leaving
only 22 days available for work. You normally spend 2 days per year on
sick leave. This leaves you only 20 days per year available for work.
We are off 5 holidays per year, so your available working time is down
to 15 days. We generously give 14 days vacation per year which leaves
only 1 day available for work and I'll be damned if you are going to
take that day off!
Depending on how you ask the questions, you can force the answer you
seek! Remember 43% of polls are wrong, the other 78% are made up!
Don't jump to the answer, just scroll down. Take this test mentally,
don't write down your answers, and don't shout them out.
1. Pick a number from 2 to 9. It can be 2 or it can be 9, or any
number in between.
2. Take that number that you've chosen, and multiply it by 9.
3. That should give you a two digit number. Take those two digits and
add them together.
4. Take the resulting number and subtract 5 from it.
5. Take that number and correspond it to the alphabet, numbering the
letters. A =1, B=2, C=3, and so on...
6. Take your letter, and think of a country that begins with that
letter.
7. Take the last letter in the name of that country, and think of an
animal.
8. Now, take the last letter in the name of that animal, and think of
a color.
9. But remember, that there are no orange kangaroos in Denmark.
