itachi-san Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 A man had 12 toothpicks in front of him on a table. His friend walked by, picked one of them up and walked away with it. But now the man was left with 9 in front of him. How can that be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 itachi-san Posted March 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Wow, I didn't even think of that answer. That works just as well. I was thinking: the word nine can be spelled with 11 toothpicks NINE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking: the word nine can be spelled with 11 toothpicks NINE I figured the guy walking by knocked a couple off when picking up one. It is difficult to pick up one toothpik from the table while walking by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 I have heard this one, but I thought it would be funny if the guy grabbed a couple and threw them at the fellow for taking one of his toothpicks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
