    I heard sales of this game have gone up 143% on E-bay since these questions began appearing.
  2. Are you busy this tax season? I could use some help with the forms.
  3. Wouldn't all the players have to decide? Some bluffing involved maybe.
  4. Prof. Templeton makes and sells wooden widgets from his back-yard for $150 each. His only costs are for materials. It takes him two hours to make a wooden widget. He sold 150 last year, for a profit of $7,500. This year he raises the price by 15%, but sells 30% fewer widgets. Assuming his cost for making each widget hasn't changed… A.)Does his profit increase or decrease? B.)By what percentage does his profit change? C.)What is the percentage change in his profit-per-hour-of labor? D.)Will the IRS come after him for income tax after seeing this post?
  5. I don't play poker. It seems that the two players with jokers would agree to decare them as aces since they both have them as well. They would both win with three of a kind. Unless they were trying for a straight, but before the flop it would seem a long-shot and it would follow that the two players could only agree on a suit they did not have already so one did not have an advantage over the other.
  6. Your solution does not follow the pattern of the original sequence. The solution posted in post #2 is the only possible. If we follow your reasoning the sequence would look like this... 1 11 1111 11111111 and so on.

    He lives in a tent and sleeps on a small cot, so it was the first question I had asked (2nd or 3rd post).

    No. 3 Or do you mean steaks at the all you can eat buffet?
  10. O.K. I think I got these btw. Very topical. I can't wait to figure out 22, 24, 42, and 43. GJ.

    I think I remember seeing something like this

    It's the common vowels that are hard. You could probably write a whole book without using a particular consonant. IMHO.
  13. Prof. Templeton

    Alright. I'll put the obvious answer out there

    This case has all the hallmarks of domestic violence. I'd round up akaslickster; he may be the possessive sort and we all know he has a history with the victim.
