BE LOGICAL



In the actual play of the game, one team is allowed to ask questions to the
opposing team that can be answered with a "yes", "no" or "irrelevent".

Try these samples below, and if you can get the answers without asking any
leading questions to someone who already knows the answer, then
this game is for you!

A black dog stands in the middle of an intersection in a town painted black. None of the street lights are working due to a power failure caused by a local storm. A car with two broken headlights drives towards the dog but turns in time to avoid hitting him. How could the driver have seen the dog in time?
Mike Peters was surprised to see his window slide open and was positively shocked when he saw two strangers climb inside. What transpired next could only be described as a despicable act of thievery. Mike watched with rapt fascination as the two thieves systematically began to remove the priceless Persian carpets, artwork, and jewelry. Having stripped the room, the thieves climbed back out the window. Incredibly, Mike went back to what he had been doing before the thieves arrived and soon he'd forgotten about the entire incident. Why wouldn't Mike, who was in perfect health, have tried to stop the thieves or at the very least call the police after they had left?
Professor Herring just returned from a six month vacation in the Middle East. In one of the lectures she gave, she said the highlight of the trip was seeing many of the ancient artifacts first hand. She made mention of having seen several mummies and tapestries dating as far back as 200 B.C. She claimed to have seen coins dated 46 B.C., and weapons made of metal from approximately 500 B.C. What is wrong with Professor Herring's claim?

Did you know that if a cork is put into a glass of water, the cork will never stay in the centre of the glass but will invariably drift to the side? there is, however, a simple way to make the cork float, and remain, in the centre of the glass. What is it?
Picture a bridge four kilometers long and strong enough to hold ten thousand kilograms, but no more. A loaded transport truck weighing exactly ten thousand kilograms drives onto the bridge. At the halfway point, a sparrow weighing 30 grams lands on the truck, yet the bridge doesn't collapse. How could this be?
How many times does the letter "F" appear in the statement to the left?
In 1843, in North Carolina, two sisters married two brothers and they all lived under the same roof. From there, things went bad. Although the two brothers were considered inseparable, the two sisters began to quarrel to such a degree they had to move to separate houses. The two brothers weren't overly pleased with the separate house situation and as a result they quite often couldn't be bothered going home. Neither brother concealed the fact that if he stayed out all night, it was a good bet he spent the night in another woman's bed. Although both sisters were hot tempered and jealous, for some reason they must have put up with their husbands' sleeping around since they never divorced and each bore several children. What could account for these two headstrong sisters turning a blind eye to their husbands' indiscretions?

Six glasses are in a row. The first three are filled with joice, and the last three are empty. By moving only one glass, can you arrange them so that the full and the empty glasses alternate?
If a daddy bull weighs 1,200 pounds and eats twelve bales of hay each day, and a baby bull, who weighs 300 pounds eats three bales of hay each day, how much hay then should a mommy bull eat if she weighs 800 pounds?
The dot inside the triangle is Scheming Suzie on her way to school. Suddenly, and without warning, nature came a-calling. Since time is of the essence, would it be faster for Suzie to run back home or to school?
