1113213211 or one 1, one 3, two 1s, three 2s & one 1
Reminds me of "one one was a race horse two two was one too, one one won one race one day two two won one too."

they called it "the Great War" in 1916, not WWI

You are driving in a car at a constant speed.
On your left side is a valley and on your right side is a fire engine traveling at the same speed as you.


In front of you is a galloping pig which is the same size as your car and you cannot overtake it. Behind you is a helicopter flying at ground level. Both the giant pig and the helicopter are also traveling at the same speed as you.

What must you do to safely get out of this highly dangerous situation?

Maintain your present speed and direction.

holes?

mike_s, time to explain that one for us mental plebs

See packhorses' explaination.

This one was a mind tester if you were thinking math, which is easy to do.

Of course that really screws with you since the last number one I posted was really quacky and required you to change the base of the number to figure it out.


These are fun to mess with my fellow 'rocket scientists' at work with. Some will really rack their brains trying to do too much analysis of it... some will sit and work them in their heads in minutes..... We used to get them and put them up on the whiteboard in the lab for all to work. heh

This one is definetely going up on the whiteboard at work. A bunch of software devs and EE's. Should keep them guessing for a while.

Ok....

If 5 birds were sitting on a fence. 2 are dove and 3 robins. You have a a single shot rifle and 2 bullets. You shoot & kill one of them. How many birds do you have left?

Did you see the other one? put it up also. whole different way of solving that number puzzle.

None, because once you fire the gun, all of the birds would fly away.
