helicopter? LOL.

Afraid of bridges, couldn't swim... I'm sure I've heard this one before. To be fair, it didn't mention any trees so... hmmz. Making a raft would be the obvious one of course.

Bird seed, clever, these teasers are very good for getting our brains going aren't they?!

weell done those who said the correct answer was bird seed!

this weeks brain teaser for OUR homework is....

a man came to a river across which there was only one bridge. unfortunately the man could not swim and was deathly afraid of bridges so refused to cross water on one. there were no boats or other forms of mechanical means of transportation. how did the man get across the river??

. Which is heavier: a pound of gold or a pound of feathers?

Well they say the answer is Feathers, as gold is measured in 12oz troy pounds and Feathers are measured in 16oz Avoirdupois pounds, I always said they weighed the same!

There is an old joke "Which is heavier, a pound of lead or a pound of feathers?" Of course, they weigh the same. But if you said "Which is heavier, a ounce of gold or a ounce of feathers?", then you could claim that the gold is measured in troy and the feathers in avoirdupois, and so the gold is indeed heavier. But a troy pound of gold is lighter than a pound (avoirdupois) of feathers!

3. Which is heavier: a pound of gold or a pound of feathers?


4. That attorney is my brother, testified the accountant. But the attorney testified he didn't have a brother. Who is lying?

Air

A River

I know

1. What can run but never walks, has a mouth but never talks, has a head but never weeps, and has a bed but never sleeps??


2. What is light as a feather, but even the strongest man cannot hold it more than a few minutes?

I would have thought that bird seed would cause more dirt than confetti.
It certainly does when we put out bird feeders in the garden.
A well, nice homework, it made the whole family join in.
Can't be bad.
