A girl has as many brothers as sisters, but each brother has only half as many brothers as sisters. How many brothers and sisters are there in the family?
One snowy night, Detective Anderson was in his house reading a book. All of a sudden a stone came crashing through his window, breaking it.
Anderson got up and looked out the window just in time to see three neighborhood brats who were brothers run around a corner. Their names were Alan Jones, Mark Jones and Peter Jones.
Not knowing of Anderson's reputation as a genius detective, the two innocent brats teased him by sent a note with clue on Anderson's front door.
The note reads "? Jones. He broke your window."
Which one of the three Jones brothers should Anderson question about the incident?
David was known as being lazy. He agreed to work on a job for his brother-in-law for thirty hours at eight dollars an hour, on the condition that he would forfeit ten dollars per hour for every hour that he idled. At the end of the thirty hours David wasn't owed any money and didn't owe his brother-in-law any money either. How many hours did Larry work and how many hours did he idle?
Lazy David worked 16-2/3 hours and idled 13-1/3 hours. 16 and 2/3 hours, at $8.00 an hour amounts to the same amount as 13 and 1/3 hours at $10.00 per hour.
An arm points north, east, south, then west.
Ever in circles, never pausing to rest.
It passes its brother twenty three times,
As the sun passes by and the moon starts to climb.
