Spoiler:
The second man is Chuck, the first Huck. Since they both lied about what day it was (it cannot be Monday, Thursday and Wednesday at the same time), we can gather that they are both lying, which means when the first man said his name was Chuck he was lying.

The day is Tuesday since both men are lying.

You are in a room with your best friend, a scale, and 100 bags of coins. 1 bag is filled with gold coins, while the other 99 are filled with bronze coins. If each gold coin weighs .1g more than each bronze coin and each bag has 100 coins in it, how would you determine which bag contains the gold coins if you are not allowed to open the bags, and you can only place one thing on the scale?

You bite each of the bags until you sink your teeth into soft gold.

You're not allowed to bite the bags.

I am familiar with this puzzle, so I won't answer it. I just had to post to say that The-Shadow-One's answer is the most awesome answer in this thread so far. I actually lol'd.

You place your friend on the scale and hand him a bag at a time. Image

(Assuming, of course, the the best friend and the scale are not one and the same :wink: ).

A stamp on an envelope, provided you mail a package to yourself and the postal service is utterly incompetent. ;)

Considering my luck with USPS recently, I wouldn't preclude the prospect.

Why thank you!

Spoiler:
The date: 1917.

An axis Aviatik is flying a patrol over western Germany, when suddenly it is ambushed by an allied Camel; caught completely by surprise by the superior fighter. In the opening fusillade, the camel secures a steady position directly behind the Aviatik's rudder; lining up a perfect shot whilst being completely obstructed from view. Upon firing, the Aviatik's ability to turn left or right, up or down, as well as the ability to roll or immelman, is effectively disabled. With the nearest help being a long ways off, the situation seems futile; when suddenly the camel goes down in flames.

Explain what just happened?

A comedy answer but maybe the answer?

Hidden:
an actual camel is the pilot of the Aviatik, which goes down in flames

An angle is 360 degrees. Is it a Ray, or is it an angle which overlaps?

Nor do I. :cry: I was trying to see if others understand what I don't. Honestly, I think it would turn into a ray, but that would make the other point on the angle disappear.

Well, I am just learning Geometry in school, so it may do something, but I don't know. :S Anyway, you aren't stupid, you are quite smart. Probably smarter than me. Algebra just breaks my brain. I am more creative than mathematical, but I do like Geometry.

I like maths, but more when u use it for physics equations. Im not a big fan of 'straight' maths, but if ur using it to calculate the drag coefficient of a bullet or something, then its fun.
Ive forgotten so much stuff - I suppose when u dont use it, u lose it!
I presume ur a whizz in art class!

Oh it's not that I am bad at math, it's just that I find it rather boring.
