Bragster - Fun bets

July Brainteaser Bonanza!

MikeRowave — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 19:19:58 +0000

It’s time again to show your smarts and win a $25 gift certificate!

In case you’re new, here are the rules:
1. Join the bet for FREE! We need 10 people minimum for the $ prize to kick in. Otherwise, it's only for glory.

2. ONLY post your answers to the 7 questions to me in a PRIVATE MESSAGE, and NOT in the comments section. Otherwise, you're disqualified for many months and will be abused verbally, lol!

3. Show your work or state the logic for your answers. (If you steal the answer from the internet or someone else, it better be re-worded so I can't tell) Be as clear as you can in your answers.

Good luck and here they are. (Some are math questions, some are logic questions, and some are trick questions.)

#1. Here are ten numbered statements. How many of them are true?

1 Exactly one of these statements is false.
2 Exactly two of these statements are false.
3 Exactly three of these statements are false.
4 Exactly four of these statements are false.
5 Exactly five of these statements are false.
6 Exactly six of these statements are false.
7 Exactly seven of these statements are false.
8 Exactly eight of these statements are false.
9 Exactly nine of these statements are false.
10 Exactly ten of these statements are false.

#2. A painter paints a mural on a wall. Each day, he paints an area equal to that of the amount already completed. It takes 31 days to cover the entire wall with paint. How long would two painters take? (In the case of two painters, each of them paints an amount equal to the area of the existing part of the mural made by that particular painter.)

#3. cyan is now exactly two-fifths of PureSexy’s age, and two years from now she will be one-half of Puresexy’s age. Conversely, two years ago, cyan was only one-fourth the age of her Puresexy’s age at that time. How old is cyan now? (The names are just random, so don’t go by the real people’s ages)

#4. A clerk in the butcher shop is 5' 10'' tall. What does he weigh?

#5. Bertrand has 100 one-dollar bills and 100 thousand-dollar bills. He tells you to take them and put them into two hats in any arrangement you want and that he’s going to shake each hat, reach into one at random, and pull out a single bill and then let you have it. How do you arrange each of the bills so that you have the best odds of getting one of the 1000-dollar bills? NO cheating, by the way, as this is not a trick question. (Bonus question if there is a tie: What ARE the best odds you can get? Be as exact as you can.)

#6. What gets wetter the more it dries?

#7. Give your number from 1-1000 in case of a tie. Closest to my number which I sent to bragster for safekeeping will win the prize. (The numbers wrap around so that 1 is right next to 1000)

Take a look!

Look around. Freaky movement. You can stop it by staring at a single spot.
A random joiner will win 500 bragbucks if there are 25 of us.
Try printing this out and using it as wrapping paper! ;-)

I can create a popular Facebook app in one month!

SqueakyZeeky — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 14:57:34 +0000

Ok here's the deal, I have no knowledge of any languages or web design but I am planning to teach myself it and create a popular Facebook application within one month of this bet.

It's going to be a tough challenge but I think I can do it and this bet is a means to push myself to get my arse into gear and produce something from what i've learned.

The application will be an online role playing game and feature various elements including the ability to purchase weapons and learn new skills. It will be made solely in PHP.

The conditions I need to meet for it to be popular are that it must have over 5,000 daily active users within a month of completion, so this bet will run for two months with the ability to bet until the end of the first month then await the results at the end of the second.

So wish me luck guys and any advice would be great, of course if it proves popular Bragster will be getting some free advertising ;)

I bet I can wear both of my arms in a cast, go into a busy shopping center, drop my pants, and get a stranger to help.

MDJ817 — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 16:03:19 +0000

IT HAS to be a stranger, and bonus points for wearing a G-string. Got some bad gas? Bonus points for farting while they're helping you.
