Buy a Monopoly board set. Take all the 1's, 5's, 10's, ..., 100's, 500's to Kinko's. Ask the guy if he can help you make 1 billion copies of this money. Once you have that, go out to Toys R' Us, and buy a bunch of little Toy Soilders as your army. Take our your copied Monopoly money, and buy them. If the cashier says something like: 'I'm sorry sir, but this isn't real money. I can't accept this.' You tell them: 'This whole store isn't real. You expect me to pay real money for fake things?' At that point, you take all your soilders and walk out. Then, place them all over your room floor facing outwards in a big circle to create your islands. Then, call up your sister or mom or whoever you know that has a lot of toy dolls, and get them. Place them in the circle, and they will start to 'mingle' with eachtother.

Now you have your own third world contry. But you need food, and shelter, and supplies, etc. For everything you need, you can buy at Toys R' Us's around the world. Have fun with your own Third World Contry. Don't tell Bush about it, or he will 'look for oil' in there.

700lbs.

A 'woodchuck', or Groundhog, is usually 17 to 26 in in length (including the tail), and weighs between 4.5 to 9 pounds. Groundhogs are built to dig into the ground, and are adapt in the wild for this. "The average groundhog has been estimated to move approximately 1 m³ (35 cubic feet), or 320 kg (700 pounds), of dirt when digging a burrow." Wikipedia.com (Groundhog Article)

So if these skills were adapt for chucking wood instead chucking dirt, the weight would be the same, but the area and density of the wood would look different than the same pile of dirt 'chucked' by the same groundhog. Basically, a 'wood chuck' would 'chuck' the same amount of wood as it does dirt, or anything else it is adapted to.

Dictionairy definition of fuzzy is: "A mass or coating of fine, light fibers, hairs, or particles; down: the fuzz on a peach." (Thefreedictionary.com/fuzz). So if there is a 'hairless' bear, then he is no longer fuzzy. Only thing that is fuzzy is his name, or nick name. If he had short hair (not long enough to see, but enough to feel) and it covered his whole body, then he would be fuzzy. Even if it's just a patch of short hair, the bear is not fuzzy, only that patch.

So Fuzzy Wuzzy is not fuzzy, if the stated above is true.

You are asking information that is not achievable through math. You would have to know the question and answers, or have had been there in order to know the answer to those questions. Thats just like me asking: 'My dog likes to run around the neighboorhood. One day, he took off running. Whats my dogs name and where did he go?' See what I mean? You can't figure it out with the information given, it's impossible. So the answer is N/A.

okay here goes:

3 people decide to stake player X in an upcoming tournament.
The 3 stakers pool together 30$, 10 bucks each, and give it to player X
Player X buys into tourney for 25$ and has 5$ left.
Not having any change to evenly divide the 5$ between the 3 stakers, he decide's
to give each staker 1$ and player X pockets the 2$ left over.
Now that being said;
the 3 stakers now have 9$ each invested totaling 27$
and player X pocketed $2
But 27$ plus 2$ only equals 29$
My question "What happend to the missing dollar?"


Have fun with this brain teaser. It was originally told to me by A teacher in school many years ago, I just changed the scenario to poker.

Lol, it's not a brain teaser, it's simple wrong math.

When he hands back the money, he is left with $2, meaning hey all have $28 invested in him, not $27. Or, it's $25 for the buy-in + the $3 he handed back to everyone. So they all have $28 invested in him, while he pocketed the $2.

I rememer these kind of problems back in the day, but i forgot how to solve it out. I just know how to get the answers to most of the problems.

LOL I have no clue...my shoulder is hurting pretty bad so I am not much for putting on my thinking cap tonight. I'm doing good to be able to type at all right about now. I sure hope I need nothing more than a shot tomorrow...hopefully I get a good Dr.

your close, sooo close.... look at the math again, the teaser made you do your math wrong!


3 stakers gave him $30, he in turn gave them $3 back
each invested $10 - $1 he gave back = $9 invested by each player
$9 x 3 = $27 correct?
so they don't have $28 invested in player X

Answer $25 buyin plus $2 put in player X's pocket = $27 (in the problem we tried to add the $2 instead of the proper $3 he gave back , coming up 1$ short)

You are Correct in it being referred to as "Simple wrong math", but yet still an absolute brain teaser for some (Especially when your not looking at it on paper) Not everybody is a logical thinker.
I've had people scatch their heads for days trying to find the missing $.

I kinda said that, but you just explained it better. But yeah, people don't really get logical math.

Logic doesn't exist in the Poker world, if it did, Phil Hellmuth would have 110 bracelets not 11.

What if Phil Hellmuth is just the luckiest person in poker, and not the best?

But this is getting a little off topic with the questions. Someone ask me something poker related. ANYTHING!
