I got that one pretty quick too....try this one.

A young computer programmer who had run out of post-it notes (those small square yellow sticky pieces of paper) came up with this almost great invention. He placed self-adhesive magnetic tape around his computer monitor so that he could stick notes and whatever he liked to his computer monitor using fridge magnets. Hey, it worked great on the fridge; why not? It worked great, just as he planned, but there was one problem that ultimately led to him remove his invention and run out to get more sticky notes.
But what was the problem if it worked so well?  

[Master Alaric Voranth]

the magnets erased everything off his hard drive... and screwed up the monitor.

pretty easy. Lets see if this one is harder.


One day, John and Sue were out fishing in the Atlantic Ocean. When a shark swam by, Sue said, "I'll bet you ten dollars that the shark over there doesn't have a bone in its skeletal structure." John thought he would win this one, but he didn't.

How can this be?  

[Master Alaric Voranth]

Sharks don't have bones, just a frame made of cartilage... and the teeth don't count.

Straight from 7th grade science. How about this one.

Moe, Larry, and Curly were trying to figure out who among them was the fastest, and by how much. They decide to settle this by a series of 2-man 100-meter races. In the first race, Moe beats Larry by exactly 10 meters. (That is to say, when Moe crosses the finish line, Larry is 10 meters behind him.) In the second race, Larry beats Curly by exactly 10 meters.

If they run at the exact same speeds as they did in their previous races (and their speed is constant over the entire course of the race), by what distance should Moe beat Curly when they race?  

[Master Alaric Voranth]

20 meters.  

[Lord Mar]

Alaric_Voranth

20 meters.

Thats what I thought at first, but alas, it is wrong.  

[Master Alaric Voranth]

I figured. I was thinking either 20 or 10. 10 seemed right, but 20 seemed fast!  

[Lord Mar]

Yeah, thats the way I figured it. One was beaten byten, then beat the other by ten. But Ifigured it up wrong.  

[Master Alaric Voranth]

I just figured it was one or the other.  

[Lord Mar]

Try this one. I should be easier.

The Timberland Tigers 11 players were taking their team picture. Figure out who sat where for the picture. Remember that each player has a jersey on, numbered 0 to 10.
1. Number 9 is exactly in the middle.
2. Number 8 is right before 2 but after 10.
3. Number 4 is the one before number 9 but right after number 2.
4. Number 1 is behind 3 and 7 in that order.
5. Number 6 is right behind 9 but right in front of 0.
6. Number 10 is first and Number 1 is last.
7. Number 5 is right before 8 and right after Number 10.
8. Number 3 is right after 0.
