Help please brainy people

[UnderYourSpell]

I need the answers to these questions to get onto a forum and I'm having trouble getting them right. Perhaps they are trick questions and I can't see it but I thought you mathematically minded brain boxes might have better luck.

How Many Oranges?:

Joe bought a bag of oranges on Monday, and ate a third of them. On Tuesday he ate half of the remaining oranges. On Wednesday he looked in the bag to find he only had two oranges left. How many oranges were originally in the bag?

How Many Apples?:

If you take away half of a dozen apples, and then return three of them to the original dozen, how many of the original dozen remain?

Hi
There were 6 oranges. working backwards 2 on wed. 4 is twice as much and 4 is 2/3 of 6

There are 9 apples 12-6+3

When they mix numbers and words it's harder to focus
(I like logic problems)

thanks I will try again I got the second one right anyway! you can tell I was bottom in Maths at school can't you

Welcome,
Let me know if it works

This question blows monkey nuts. What does "return three to the original dozen" mean?" You must have the original dozen intact for it to be "the original dozen." So how do you return three to 12? Does that boost the original dozen to 15?

It's purposefully worded ambiguously. The question could be asking anything, depending on the whim of the poser.

Apparently in the past they have had problems with someone posting sexually explicit stuff on their forum which is for a game that children can play too. These questions I presume are aimed at keeping the less mathematically minded ones out under the false impression that those are the sort of people who who would post that sort of stuff. I wonder what they would think knowing I got the answer on a porn site So thankyou Boundlife your answers did the trick

Bonus Question

Here's one more, for extra credit:

Congressman Wiener's penis is 8 inches long and 2 inches thick. When he has intercourse, however, he limits his stroke length to provide a 25% safety margin against breaking contact or bottoming out. He estimates his sustained coupling frequency to be 2.5 Hz. Given these parameters, and assuming Wiener's wiener is cylindrically shaped, how long will it take the Congressman to plow one woman-acre?

 

[UnderYourSpell]

you left out the angle of the dangle

 

[mynameisben]

You can disregard the dangle angle. The vagina is effectively a wave guide.

 

[UnderYourSpell]

as one whose vagina does not wave in any respect, I do think you are only concentrating on this from the male point of view

The heat of the meat, divided by the cube of the pube can genererate enough kinetic energy to knock the corners off a square root.

Are those "male" inches or "female"?

 

[mynameisben]

Oh, you skeptics really rankle me! I offered a serious question with far reaching geopolitical ramifications, one that can be solved with little more than high school algebra and a couple of conversion tables. And you mock me.

I'll just give you the answer. It would take the congressman slightly more than a day and a half to plow an acre of woman.

I think I'll pose the question over at the Future Farmers of America website, where the problem will do some real good.

 

[Ruby_PlumRed]

Agreed, what is that second question about? But should be 6 oranges and 9 apples.

Consider this.

You are in a room where you observe a chimpanzee, an orangutan and a gorilla. A bunch of bananas hang from the ceiling.

There are some heavy crates and broom sticks in the room. The gorilla tries to jump up and grab the bananas, but can't reach. The orangutan throws a broom stick at the bananas, but they do not fall. The chimpanzee pushes the crate under the bananas and knocks them down with a broom stick.

Can you determine the smartest primate in the room?

Oh dear it's bound to be a trick question and I'm rubbish at them ..... the only thing I can think it might be is that not all three are primates so now I've got to figure out which one is

You're going to be embarrassed when you learn the answer.

well it does start off with saying 'you are in the room..'
are you smarter than your average gorilla, orang, or chimp?

oops thought 'u' were looking in the room teach me to read it properly but no theo take more than that to embarrass me and I've known many (mostly men) online that are positively neanderthal

I've been accused.

must have been your high forehead and the knuckles resting on the ground that did it
