DAMMIT! how do you know all this? …well, another one…
in the back yard there is a hollow stump that contains six ears of corn. if a healthy squirrel carries out only three ears each day, how many days will it take to empty the stump?
It depends on how many Squirrels there are.
In the case of 1 healthy squirrel:
Six days. One ear of corn, two ears on it’s head.
Short after I joined, we started to post riddles like these so I already know the answers. I remember posting the one about the GRY words.
2 days if you understand the difference in concept between “ears of corn” and “ears you hear with” and realize you can’t use the word “ear” to encompass both simutaneously. Doing so violates rules of language. =P
