Oh you can work it out with calculus; I have done so but I'm not going to repeat the exercise 'cos I don't want to wear my brain out.

If you do so, you will find the assumption about the sphere diameter being immaterial to be formally correct.

As I "nearly got it" here is another - non-mathematical (maybe

) one.

The Broken Match

A man is found dead in a field. He is clutching a broken match.
What happened?

3 men in a baloon had thrown out all the ballast. They still had to lose weight.

Our man drew the broken match and was thrown out.

3 men on a boat each with one cigarette they ask each other if they have something to light their cigarette. They all say no.

One man decides to through another man over board.

Why.

To make the boat a little lighter!

whoever gets it has to post a new one !!

I like trying to get the answer but can't think of one. Come to think of it is lateral thinking a male trait?

Ok... try this one

The Deadly Party
Everyone at the party was allowed 3 glasses of punch. One of the party goers was very thirsty and as soon as he arrived had his 3 gasses. Everyone else at the party who drank the punch subsequently died of poisoning.
Why did the man not die?

I'm assuming that he was driving and drank something else.

Hoovie · Post by **Hoovie** » Mon Nov 19, 2007 9:54 pm

no - had his drinks from the punch bowl like the rest

Bludall · Post by **Bludall** » Mon Nov 19, 2007 9:59 pm

He was already drunk, so the anti-freeze in the punch didn't affect him!

Hoovie · Post by **Hoovie** » Mon Nov 19, 2007 10:03 pm

Nope.

good ideas coming out (wrong ones though)
