The One Shot Joke Thread.

Just some easy brainteasers. Try to guess!

1. You have one little marble, and you have to share it with your friend. How would you do that if one doesn't get more than the other? DON'T SLICE IT!

2. Your doctor gives you three tablets of medicine, and he tells you to take one every half an hour. If you take the first one at approximately 10 AM, what time will you have finished all the tablets?

3. You set an alarm at 9, and you went to bed. How long will you sleep if you go to bed at 7 PM?

4. Draw a triangle with ONLY one straight line. No curves, no zig-zag styles. Just a simple line.

5. There are 15 birds up on a tree. The tree grows on a cliff. One bird is shot. How many are left?

6. How many species of animals did Noel bring into his ark?

Have patience in reading.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Voila, a triangle with three right angles.

The truth is, that both answers for number 4 are wrong. There is an even simpler answer that doesn't include any mathematical explanation. The answer for number 1 is also incorrect.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

You don't HAVE ANY FRIENDS!

Or maybe you're friends with yourself. Or maybe you just have another marble, which isn't so small, so you'd still have as many as your friend, and still only have one SMALL marble. But I like my original answer best.

No. Still wrong, though I like your answer. So original, like...whatever.

Spoiler:

Read question no. 1 carefully. This is actualy what I called 'playing with meanings'.

For number 4:

The line is neither horizontal nor vertical.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

YES!!!! JACKPOT!!! You're right!

How ya doing, buddy?

We have those here to make fun of stupid people, that and:
"What is the color of Napoleons white horse?"

These are even dumber.
"Your youngest brother, is he a boy or a girl?"

Not yet!
"Who's the writer of Harry Potter?"
"J.K. Rowling."
"How on earth did you know!?"

I was speaking idiomatically.
