In the middle of the desert, there is a dead mans body lying in the sand. He is almost completley naked. Around him the sand is untouched for miles in every direction. Next to him are lying a lot of clothes. more than one person could wear.
Also there is a short match lying just next to his right hand.

What happened?

I think he simply fell out of an aeroplane.
He met his match. (c wot i did thar?)

Was he in a ballon with someone and the ballon started to fall so they chucked out stuff they didnt need but it was still falling so they drew matches as to who should jump out?

Ooh i better keep the ball rolling then,

If three cats catch three mice in three minutes, how many cats would be needed to catch 100 mice in 100 minutes?

A nice easy one Very Happy

by **Deilos** on Thu Sep 11, 2008 5:37 pm

Four cats.

Three can catch 99 in 100 minutes, therefore one more to catch the extra.

by Cabin Boy on Thu Sep 11, 2008 5:42 pm

close, but no.

A nice easy one

3, as 3 cats catch mice at a ratio of 1 per minute.

One cat...

Each cat is catching 1 mouse per minute....

1 cat with 100 minutes can catch 100

i would say the answer is 3.Like said Deilos they'll catch 99 mice in 99 minutes and join there forces to catch the last mouse within the last minute.

waiting for the answer

by **Deilos** on Fri Sep 12, 2008 10:57 pm

Surely it takes three minutes for one cat to catch one mouse... Therefore three cats. Like Lotfire said.
