Arthur is conducting an experiment. He places his stepladder on his basement's cement floor, and climbs up while holding a raw egg (in its shell) in one hand. While climbing, he accidentally drops the egg. However, it does not smash into a gooey mess after falling a distance of six feet. Why not?

(The answer is really frustratingly simple and stupid. You will be extremely annoyed at it when you figure out what it is — or when I tell you, whichever happens first.)

nehaWhile climbing, he accidentally drops the egg. However, it does not smash into a gooey mess after falling a distance of six feet. Why not?
Because as he has climbed, the height of falling is more than 6 feet. So the the egg will smash after a distance more than 6 feet. Ultimately the egg has to smash, but at a distance of 6 feet, its still in the air.

is that the answer?

From engineering point of view I guess my answer was correct, a hippo of same size but diff material. And even hers, as a painting of a hippo.

here is another..
A man kills his wife. Many people watch him doing so.
Yet no one will ever be able to accuse him of murder. Why?

@neha-3vibjn • Oct 28, 2006

This is all I could think of.

@aashima-eO93l9 • Nov 4, 2006

Thats because he killed his wife in a television show or may be movie i.e acting. Ofcourse no one can accuse an actor for his acting. Is this correct Aditi?

Once, 3 guys went to a hotel. Each of them had only Rs.25 and the bill was Rs. 75, so they were lucky. Seeing their luck, the manager told a waiter to return Rs.5. The waiter thought how would he divide 5 in 3 parts? So he kept Rs.2 with him and gave Re 1 each to them. Hence each one pays Rs. 24

Now the equation is 24+24+24+2=74. Wat about one more rupee???
😒

@yattysid-PYlObu • Feb 3, 2007

its easy dude.....actually dey paid...24*3 i.e. 72 ...rite?? now this 72 already includes the 2 rs given to the waiter...i.e. 72-2 = 70...which was the net bill as the manager accepted only 70 rupees....!!!
