Guest Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 This riddle/question is found on an idiot test... Why can't a policeman open the door in his pajamas? because there isn't a door in his pajamas otherwise it would be 'when he is in his pajamas' wouldn't it?

0 Guest Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 ooh I thought that your spoiler was going to be a hint of some sort not the actual answer... anywho there are those pajamas with the butt flaps that you can open which are technically a door so a policeman could open the door in his pajamas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 soop Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Misleading grammar does not a riddle make. This is basically a deliberate use of "tricky" wording to lead people into thinking there is a puzzle when there isn't one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 What the heck is an idiot test? Wouldn't you be an idiot if you even sat down to take an idiot test? Couldn't an idiot test just be a booklet that said "Idiot Test" and then when you opened it it would be blank inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got that question in one that's proper questions and stuff but there are other types of them like this one: http://www.addictinggames.com/theidiottest.html very fun to play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 There is no door in his pajamas. The adjective prepositional phrase following modifies the door. The sentence would require an adverbial pharse such as, "...while in his pajamas." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
