Answer: "A picture is 'worth' a thousand words," and on that day I had 2,314 pictures on my site. (Plus the 75,000 words of text equals 2,389,000)

Hint: Taken from the realm of court sports < - highlight with your mouse

Answer: Nope, that's not it...keep trying [answer is below] <- highlight with your mouse

Answer: "Practice"
Explanation: In basketball a brick is a shot thrown so hard and errantly that it ricochets wildly off the backboard. A bucket is a successful shot that goes into the hoop. Hence, with practice you can turn an ugly brick into a beautiful bucket.

Calories

I once made a bet with someone that I could eat over four million (4,000,000) calories in one day—that's about three thousand (3,000) calories a minute for 24 hours! Suffice it to say that I won that bet, but how could that be?! I've never eaten over say five thousand (5,000) Calories on any day in my life—let alone a few million. Explain this seeming paradox.

 

    Answer:

It's Getting Hot in Herre.

Many of us, even if not valetudinarians, have gotten sick before. For fevers, my record stands at about 104.5 degrees but I know some people who have gotten even hotter. So one day I was laying in bed wondering if water boils at 100 degrees, why when I get a fever of 105 degrees doesn't my body boil? I asked a few medical doctors and got some comical answers, as I'm sure I'll receive from a few of you. I've taken biology and chemistry classes while studying pre-medicine at the University of Florida, so don't be discouraged if you are up to the intellectual challenge.

Shower Planning

You are leaving your house to see a movie with 3 house guests and are anxious to get everyone ready to leave as soon as possible. You know that Guest A takes a long shower, but is quick to get dressed, Guest B takes a short shower but a long time to get dressed, and Guest C takes a medium shower and takes a moderate time to get dressed. In what order would you have them shower?

Assumptions:
1. This is in no way a trick question
2. The object is for everybody to get ready as soon as possible
3. Everyone needs to shower and get dressed
4. There is one shower and guests can dress at the same time
5. Showering must precede getting dressed
6. Virtually no interpretation needs to be done into the question, i.e. "what is the meaning of shower."
7. There is unlimited hot water
8. The words ‘long,’ ‘medium,’ and ‘short’ are just relative guides, i.e. a long shower does not necessarily equal the time of long dressing time.

Notes:
     Using numbers or diagrams may be helpful but they are more useful in eliminating bad choices than affirming good ones. You may want to use numbers/diagrams in attempting to disprove an initial hypothesis.


Summary:
        Shower time   Dressing time
Guest A    Long           Short
Guest B    Short          Long
Guest C    Medium        Medium

Sample answer:
To minimize the amount of time it takes the host to get everyone showered and dressed guest F should go first followed by guest P and then guest Z.

Your Answer:   

The Answer:

Part B.

Now, following the same basic premise of the question above, assume instead of 3 guests you are now hosting 100 guests. Each will either have a long, medium, or short shower and long, medium, or short dressing time. You know how long each guest will take for each task and you know that every combination of shower and dressing time is theoretically possible (ie. long shower –long dressing , short shower –long dressing , short shower -medium dressing, etc) In which order would you ask them to get ready that would be quickest to get them all out of the door?

Assumptions:
1. This is in no way a trick question
2. The object is for everybody to get ready as soon as possible
3. Everyone needs to shower and get dressed
4. There is one shower and guests can dress at the same time
5. Showering must precede getting dressed
6. Virtually no interpretation needs to be done
7. There is unlimited hot water
8. The words ‘long,’ ‘medium,’ and ‘short’ are just relative guides: i.e. a long shower does not necessarily equal the time of long dressing time.

Sample answer:
To minimize the amount of time it takes the host to get everyone showered and dressed guests that take the shortest time to (for example) shower should go first, followed by the ones who take the longest to (for example) shower.
