I'm testing /Lit/'s reasoning skills. > What has

That's not a question. It's a statement.
What=4 letters
Sometimes=9 letters
Never=5 letters

>>9804613
The operative word here is "word(s)" not letters.

>>9804613
It's op again, first answer is correct. It's just a trick question of course.

>A farmer has 10 cows. One night, all but 6 cows die. How many cows does the farmer now have?

>>9804669
Then you phrased it wrong. It should read "What has four LETTERS, sometimes has nine and never has five?"

You absolute dingus. Please never make a thread again.

>>9804606
>What has 4 words
I think you meant letters, faggot.

>>9804680
6 (7 if you include his wife)

>>9804699
>FAT HICKS XDDDD
This is why trump won

>>9804680
10, 6 alive and four dead.

>>9804680
4 cows. 10 - 6 = 4

>>9804703
Hey man, I don't hold it against them.

>>9804710
bait?

>>9804710
'All but six die' means 'all cows died, but for 6, which survived'.

>>9804710

This is the only correct answer.

>le "im so smart lookie me" meme

>>9804680
>And but so all but 6 cowfefes dye

>>9804680
Ok, 10 cows.
All die but 6.
All die.
So the answer is none.

>>9804606
X million jews killed.
X is always six or greater.

TRUE

>A man is found dead on a Sunday morning. His wife calls the police immediately. The police question the wife and staff. The wife said she was asleep, the cook said he was cooking breakfast, the gardener said she was picking vegetables, the butler said he was cleaning the closet, and the maid said she was getting the post. The police immediately arrested the murderer.Who was the murderer?

>>9804820
the maid because there is no post on Sunday

Bala balala baba

>>9804820
>the gardener said she was picking vegetables
It is winter, so that can't be possible

>>9804820
The Butler, Marshall Mathers. He made a song about this, the fool.

>There was a plane crash where every single person died. Who survived?

>>9804855
>Every single person died
So that means God survived

A man with a life-threatening disease must take 1 orange pill and 1 green pill everyday to survive. He is leaving on vacation for 2 days, so he takes 2 of each pill with him. While at his hotel, he gets stuck in the elevator. There is no light and he is informed that it will be several house before he is saved. He realizes he will die if he doesn't take his pills.
He takes the 4 pill out of his pocket, but he has no way of distinguishing them. He must quickly take one green pill and one orange pill, or will otherwise die. If he takes two of the same pill he will also die,

How does he survive?

>>9804855
Married couples.

>>9804855
those people that aren't single, i.e. couples

>>9804870
He waits till midnight and takes all four.

>>9804879
no, he will start getting seizures within a few hours

>A girl was ten on her last birthday, and will be twelve on her next birthday. How is this possible?

>>9804893
lol that's retarded you can't be 10 and be 11 at the same time

>>9804870
He dies. You literally say 'he can't distinguish them'. If there was some way of distinguishing them you'd be wrong. The only alternative left is for him to 'paint' one green and one orange if he has paint.
>>9804893
She's eleven this birthday.

A plane crashes right on the border between France and Switzerland. Where do they bury the survivors?

Feed me and I live, yet give me a drink and I die

>>9804910
a really tiny fire

>>9804909
They don't.

>>9804909
>survivors
you don't bury them

>What is unusual about the sentence below? A big cowboy, dancing elegantly for grand hotels in Jersey, knitting lovely mittens nicely on pretty quilted rubber shoes, thought untrained vets would X-ray yellow zebras

>>9804923
You don't knit mittens on shoes.

>>9804905
>You literally say 'he can't distinguish them'. If there was some way of distinguishing them you'd be wrong
No there is a solution where he survives even though he can't distinguish them

>>9804736
This.

>>9804870
He takes the red pill.

>>9804870
Breaks all four in half, takes half of each.

Q:
A farmer (now) has 10 cows - fact/statement
One nigth all but 6 cows die
How many cows does the farmer have now?

A:
One night is an unspecified time that can happen in near or far away future. Author also asks how many cows farmer has now, at the present time. So the answer is 10, because the first statement remains true in the context

>>9804820
He was probably in bed sleeping with his wife on a Sunday morning so the wife is the culprit.

>>9804923
The alphabetical order of words

>only one enemy remained, but now there's two. How is that possible?

>>9804680
Because you didn't specify that it was the farmers cows that died, it can be assumed that every cow in the world died but 6
Stupid question, stupid answer

>>9804606
My first thought that popped into my head some sort of sentence made of contractions. Eg. 1 triple contraction (I'd've, we'd've) and 3 normal contractions. What that sentence would be or if it's possible I don't know.

>>9804820
Where was the man found?

The maid is probably the likeliest culprit, since "the post" tends not to come on Sundays and not (except for certain places) early in the morning.

Still, the cook is suspicious, since wouldn't they likely wait until both the husband and wife were up to make breakfast? The cook easily could have poisoned the meal they made for the early-rising husband and moved the body elsewhere.

5 cows, because "all but" is anotyer way of saying "almost". So if all but 6 cows died, that means 5 cows died for sure and 1 more almost died

> You're escaping from a dungeon and come to two doors, one on the right and one on the left. One leads to freedom and the other leads to a hungry lion. There are also two men there, one who always tells the truth and one who always lie, but you don't know which is which. They will only permit you to ask one question to one of them. What do you ask?

>>9806394

To the man on the left: will the man on the right tell me the this door leads to freedom?

>>9804680

None, because he clearly ignored safety regulations and had his farm fucking shut down.

>>9804820
I know but won't tell, because clearly the elite pig deserved it for not giving anybody a day off on Sunday.

>>9806394
I won't ask them anything, because clearly neither of them knows the correct door and are just waiting for some sucker to try it.
