A Sunday morning puzzle for you.

[Kempstonian]

They who make it, have no need of it.
Theho buy it, have no use for it.
They who use it can neither see nor feel it.

What is it?

Point of order - some people have been known to buy their own in advance!

What runs all around a backyard, yet never moves?

The perimeter?

 

[Kempstonian]

This will be easy for some...

There are three doors in front of you. You have to go through one of them.

Behind the first is a raging fire
Behind the second is a gunman lurking
Behind the third is a lion that hasn't eaten for a year

Which door would you pick as the safest?

 

[Kempstonian]

Correct!

Here's another:

In a game of Tug-o’-War, Oliver and John easily won over Thomas and Jacob. When Oliver and Thomas were a team, they could barely pull Jacob and John. When Oliver and Jacob played in a team against Thomas and John, the game ended in a draw. Can you name each person from strongest to weakest?

^^^^ Nobody want to try this one?

Obviously the 3rd as the lion is dead.

Door 3 please.

 

[Kempstonian]

Correct again! Door 3 it is

(Probably a bit too easy, that one)

Oliver > John > Thomas > Jacob

 

[Kempstonian]

Oliver > John > Thomas > Jacob

Correct!

 

[Ming the Merciless]

Correct!

Or Oliver just weighs 40 stone and not the strongest

 

[glasgowcyclist]

Correct!

John, Jacob, Thomas, Oliver. (Fingers crossed)

Edit: Bugger, got wrong

Wife calls up to her colourblind hubby, "can you bring me down a pair of socks please".

The problem is that all the socks are in a drawer, not paired up. And there are 10 black socks and 10 brown socks.

How many socks does the hubby have to take out of the drawer to guarantee that wifey gets a pair?

Assuming you know what's behind each door before opening, the one with the lion that hasn't been fed for a year.

 

[classic33]

Correct again! Door 3 it is

(Probably a bit too easy, that one)

Only if the lion is behind door number 3.
