A farmer was going to town with a fox, a goose and a sack of corn. When he came to a stream, he had to cross in a tiny boat, and could only take across one thing at a time. However, if he left the fox alone with the goose, the fox would eat the goose, and if he left the goose alone with the corn, the goose would eat the corn. How does he get them all safely over the stream?

Yes Lips and I Thank You.
343 miles per hour (342.857 to be more precise). Many people answer 350 miles per hour, thinking they can just average together 400 miles per hour and 300 miles per hour. However, this doesn't work, because although the distance is the same, the travel occurs for longer times at the two different speeds. Thus, 3 hours are spent going 400 mph on the first part, and 4 hours going 300 mph on the return. A total of 2400 miles are traveled in 7 hours. 2400 divided by 7 is 343 (rounded).

I have the feeling I'm missing something here, but here it goes:
A cubic foot and a half of coal?
Anything that is 50% heavier than a cubic foot of coal will weigh less when reduced in weight by 50%. Think of it this way: 150 is 50% more than 100, but 50% of 150 (75) is smaller than 100.
So you're saying I was absolutely right? Hahaha...
Right LOL... Have a good day
You too, 4tk. Keep these riddles coming...

Jump out of the boat, or throw the sharks out and start bailing.
