10) If you're 8 feet away from a door and with each move you advance half the distance to the door.

How many moves will it take to reach the door.

As many moves as you want as you will never reach the door!

10 in theory you will never reach it because you only ever travel haf the distance

Correct, correct, correct and correct.

Ok then cleverclogs..... Round 3

1) A pipe, a carrot, and a couple sticks are lying together in a field. Why?

2) A woman lives on the tenth floor of an apartment building. Every morning she takes the elevator all the way down, and goes to work. In the evening, she gets into the elevator, and, if there is someone else in it she goes back to her floor directly. Otherwise, she goes to the seventh floor and walks up three flights of stairs to her apartment. Why?

3) A man is lying drowned in a dead forest, far from water. How did this happen?

4) If it has a quart capacity, how many pennies can you put into a empty piggy bank?

5) You have a barrel of oil, and you need to measure out just one gallon. How do you do this if you only have a three-gallon container and a five-gallon container?

Apologies for not being on any Hua Hi topic here but I enjoy doing the riddles and maybe others might to.

Feel free to add some riddles, or tell me to p**s off.

5)

Fill the 3 gallon and then pour the 3 into the 5 gallon

Fill the 3 gallon again and fill up the 5 gallon

Result ? 5 Gallons in one and the remains are 1 gallon in the 3 gallon container

No. 5, fill the three gallon container and empty it into the five gallon container, then fill it again and pour it into the five gallon container until it’s full, then you’ll have one gallon left in the three gallon container.

P.S

Number 5 goes to Richard that would be the correct procedure.
