0 EDM Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 A man has 12 twigs in front of him. He takes away one. Now how much twigs are in front of him? 1) it could be the simple answer....11 twigs...??? or 2) it could be roman numeral XII - in which case there are either 3 or 7 twigs.....???

0 Guest Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 1. 11 twigs 2. Something nobody knows 3. Could be like EDM said, XII so take away 1 and it makes 3 But my strongest guess is a tree. 12 twigs of a tree?? Where could you have gotten the twigs from????

0 EDM Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 maybe it's a twig shaped like '1' and '2', take '1' & u hv '2'....??? or maybe: he sees twigs on the ground...??? (as the answer 2 ur question???) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 A person has 12 twigs in front of him. The person takes away one twig. What is in front of him? roman numeral XI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 roman numeral XI roman numerals could work, but the answer is actually a word. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 roman numerals could work, but the answer is actually a word. XI is actually a word (Greek letter), at least in the Scrabble dictionary. LOL! I know, I'm not helping things! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 (edited) one, but spelled out with twigs? I don't really know how to show it...but eleven twigs would make out the one. Edited June 10, 2010 by Bob Loblaw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 but it could be "Adam" from the Story of Adam and Eve... If you accept that "the person" is "God" and and the 12 twigs are actually Adam's ribs, and one is removed to create Eve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 It doesn't make any sense to me why roman numerals would be involved. My answer is 12 twigs, 11 plus the one he is holding is still in front of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Molly Mae Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 ...the word "of". =P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 (edited) It all depends on what he'd do with the twig. He cd take away one twig & hold it (in which case he'd still hv 12 twigs in front of him) or throw it away or hand it to someone(in which case he'd have 11 twigs in front of him) or walk away with the twig (in which case he'd have one twig in front of him) Edited June 23, 2010 by mojobrain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
