The One Shot Joke Thread.

Here are a few riddles for y'all to ponder over.

1. Here is an interesting set of sentences. Everything is normal about them, yet they have a hidden meaning. Looking closely at them will gain you nothing. Looking at them with a piece of paper partially or totally covering every word will. Okay, so what are the sentences really saying?

2. Is it legal for a man to marry his widow's sister?

3. A ball of yarn that is 3 inches in diameter costs 30 cents. By the same pricing system, how much should a ball of yarn 6 inches in diameter cost?

4. What is the only thing in our household whose only purpose is to soil a clean white surface?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Admiral Amara:
For number 4,

1. Find volume of yarn in 3 inch diameter ball (4/3(pi)r^3) = 4.5(pi)
2. Find volume of yarn in 6 inch ball by same forumula = 36(pi)
3. Compare two volumes (36 is 8 times greater than 4.5)
Hence, the barn of yarn with diameter of 6 inches would cost 30 cents x 8 = $2.40

You did get number 2 right, which is good.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Helloween:
Nope. There is something rather interesting about them besides the fact they don't make sense.

Spoiler:

Hint: try putting each sentence on a new line.

Reiterating 4:
4. What is the only thing in our household whose only purpose is to soil a clean white surface?

And no, the answer is not toilet paper.

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

You could add a sense of yayness to the victory by answering number 4.

Also, here's a few more while I'm at it.
5. A helicopter hovers a few feet above a house with a triangluar roof. A chicken egg is dropped right on the very center of the roof. Will it roll down the left or the right side?

6. Consider a record spinning on a record player. Take two points on the record, one close to the center and one on the edge of the record. Notice that the point on the edge is travelling a larger distance in the same amount of time than the one in the center, so it's speed is greater. Yet the velocity of the disc is the same regardless of what two points you pick on the disc. How is this so?

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Helloween:
A WINNER IS YOU!

How ya doing, buddy?

FannKiba:
Correct, because there's no way you could drop an egg on to a hard roof like that and expect it not to break.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Omnislash:

Spoiler:

Take a penny out the jar labelled both and see what date it is. Since all the jars are labelled incorrectly, we can deduce the following:

-----If the penny is 1975, then it's the jar for 1975 pennies. If the penny is 2005, then it's the jar of 2005 pennies.

-----Then, knock over the two remaining jars and see what sorts of pennies are in each.

FELIPE NO

1. Put the tiny marble on the ground 10 feet away, and challenge your friend to a game of Boules. Both of you will hence be sharing the marble in the game.

2. 11 AM, thereabouts.

3. Just 2 hours, assuming you don't have one of them fancy digital alarm clocks with an AM/PM setting.

4. I draw one straight line on a piece of paper, then cut the paper into three parts. Those then line up to form a triangle.

5. None are left, because the birds would be freaked out by the gunshot and hence gtfo.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?
