Question:-Two fathers and two sons go fishing together
in the same boat. They all catch a fish but the
total catch for the day is 3 fish. How is this
possible?

Question:A glass of water with a single ice cube sits on
a table. When the ice has completely melted,
will the level of the water have increased,
decreased or remain unchanged?
Proper explanation is required.

Question:- Two men are standing on one side of a bridge
and two women are approaching them. One of
the men says, "Here comes my wife and
daughter" to which the second man replies,
"Here comes my wife and daughter". If they
have not married the same woman and the
women aren't pregnant, how is this true?

jdzarrus99: Question:A glass of water with a single ice cube sits on

Proper explanation is required.

The water will remain unchanged because the icecube was not inside the glass

d both sons are siblings nd ave just one father?

remains unchanged,cos if d same mass of water was frozen,den even wen melted will still give d same mass...#my opinion...

Can anyone solve this ? Dunno the answer too o

It's possible.
Those women are just daughter-in-laws to their husband father-----You see we have gotten the daughter aspect.

Those women can also be called the wife of their husband father,putting culture into play, when you get married and you bring ur wifey home, you will be surprise to hear your father calling your own wife his wife

I hope this is correct

jdzarrus99: Question:-Two fathers and two sons go fishing together
in the same boat. They all catch a fish but the
total catch for the day is 3 fish. How is this
possible?

They caught a fish respectively,in the form of
Grandfather
Father
Son/grand son

Taking another instance, they caught 3 fishes because there are three individual at the scene.
A father
1st son
2nd son
To the father he can severally call those two individual sons
To the 1st son he can say this is father, likewise the 2nd son,thus making it two father and two sons
I hope this is understandable

It decreases!
Taking a block purewater for instance . Anyday I buy this block water maybe after a difficult task or just for fun. I always place this iceblock inside a cup,and i notice that the content of this water would decrease.

it remains unchanged. Cos the space occupied by d ice is stil occupied when it melts. Therefore, the volume remains the same. Tnx

jdzarrus99: Question:A glass of water with a single ice cube sits on

Proper explanation is required.

firstly, the base of a glass is not square, but round so there would be unoccupied space at the bottom and when it melts, the water would fill up that empty space so the level would have reduced. . . But if It's a square base and the cube fits perfectly to the bottom, then when it becomes a liquid the level of water would increase because liquids contract when they freeze. Or maybe the cube is not in the glass but on the table.

You've just buttress it! U'r gud bro!

Dats not correct!

the first man married the daugter of the 2nd man (probably not his first wife) then his father inlaw i.e the 2nd man, married the daughter of the first man (probably a child he got from his earliest wife)

jdzarrus99: Question:A glass of water with a single ice cube sits on

Proper explanation is required.

the quantity of the water will reduce because the ice cube is in its solid state (d molecules are arranged in a regular crystal lattice) but when it melts it become liquid (the solid dissolves and then the molecules can slide on each other) thereby reducing the size of the cube and eventually the volume of the water

Dats not true bro.

Question1:-By moving one of the following digits, make the
equation correct. 62 - 63 = 1
Question2:- A princess is as old as the prince will be when
the princess is twice the age that the prince
was when the princess's age was half the sum
of their present ages.
What are their ages?
Question3:-You're in a room with two doors. There's a
guard at each door. One door is the exit, but
behind the other door is something that will
kill you. You're told that one guard always tells
the truth and the other guard always lies. You
don't know which guard is which. You are
allowed to ask one question to either of the
guards to determine which door is the exit.
What question should you ask?

Question 1,
2^6 - 63= 1

You will ask that if I am to ask the other guard which door will he says leads to freedom. Then you will move to the opposite of whichever1 they say..............lng time here I actually went to the mount to pray for nigeria

emekakelvin:

U're v.correct....keep it up
