I am absolutely stumped on this one. It's pretty long, and it came from a Rebecca Sitton Spelling thingy majig. I'll probably feel really stupid afterwards, but I just REALLY REALLY want to know! ><
Mother said, "There's going to be company for dinner! Our guests are the Millers." There would only be four of them, although theirs is a big family. They're going to be our new neighbors. Their house is across the street. Theirs is the green house that appears to have three stories, but there is really only an attic in their third story. There hasn't been anyone living there since the Morgans moved to their new home.
That evening, I met two of the Miller children, Jeremy and Gina. They're going to be enrolling at my school. There's one thing we have in common-- our birthdays [that's right, ALL THREE of them have the same EXACT birthdays]. There are already plans to celebrate together! They're going to be great neighbors!
After they left, there was something I didn't understand. Their birth dates were the same year and day as mine and they're both in sixth grade. I asked Mom and Dad if they're twins, but they shook their heads to say no. There were big smiles on their faces as they said, "They're not twins, yet they're exactly the same age, and their parents are EXACTLY the SAME two people. Theirs is a special family."
There's surely an explanation.
/end riddle.
The only reason it sounds really retarded is because it was a worksheet for there, their, they're, there's, and theirs. Dumb, right?
Anyhow, the riddle's killing me. Can anyone figure it out? It's really late for me to do any riddling, so I'm going to be lazy and leech off other people.
Thanks! ><
OH MY GOSH. There's more parts to it! >< It was on another worksheet. xD So now I know the answer, and you guys can figure it out now.
There are five children in the Miller family: Jeremy, Gina, and Jason are older than their younger, 2-yr-old siblings. There's a set of triplets in the Miller family as well as a set of twins.
Aaaand now the riddle is excruciatingly simple. Wow, okay. That's what I get for being so absent-minded.
Alright, a free ten points to someone who can answer this one correctly AS WELL, first.
A farmer challenges an engineer, a physicist, and a mathematician to fence off the largest amount of area using the least amount of fence.
The engineer made his fence in a circle and said it was the most efficient.
The physicist made a long line and said that the length was infinite. Then he said that fencing half of the Earth was the best.
The mathematician laughed at the others and with his design, beat the others. What did he do?
Okay, I type slow, it appears. I now feel dumb. :'( *sniff*
nvm about that other riddle. I'm going to sit in the corner and cry about my stupidity. :'(
just kidding xD
Or I could take up more pixels in your screen than I have already.
Well, thanks for all your comparatively ingenious answers! I should go do more riddles, huh?
