"The Unlisted World"

 

There is a town in Texas where 5% of all the people living there have unlisted phone numbers. If you selected 100 names at random from the town's phone directory, on average, how many of these people would have unlisted phone numbers?

 

William

 

"CORRECTO" Moon, None is the right answer, as their would not be unlisted numbers

in the phone book lol he he he

convict with idea on top of convict who's idea it is not and the idea-not-convict on top of the new pile of diggin's. :phones:

 

Two convicts are locked in a cell. There is an unbarred window high up in the cell. No matter if they stand on the bed or one on top of the other they can't reach the window to escape. They then decide to tunnel out. However, they give up with the tunneling because it will take too long. Finally one of the convicts figures out how to escape from the cell. What is his plan?

Correct Turtle, the dirt from the tunnel was moved to the place under the window, so they could climb out.

 

William :) :))

can be the source of your delight or your death.

i am not what people see in me.

i can portend the future or hide the present.

 

what am i?

hint: i am a physical 'thing'

 

I will take a shot at it Turtle.....Is the answer "A Casket"

 

William :confused: :confused:))

 

Not a casket. "source of your death" phrase indicates it can kill you.

 

Further hint: it can kill you from afar without you ever seeing or hearing it, or it can kill you up close & personal and all you can see or hear is it. :confused:

a letter to that mythological being who dons a beard, red suit and lives in a really cool place?

 

"The Message"

 

"This message has been sent by many" *

"This message contains hope for the sender" *

"This message gives immediate joy to the sender" *

"This message gives expectation to the sender" *

 

Who is the message sent to

 

William ))

 

Clue one: The message is a letter

Clue two: Children

 

"YIPEEEE!!!! Santa Claus he is Ms. Pamela and the letters will be sent again this

year from children with hope and joy of receiving their wishes. Imagination

is a wonderful thing that adults lose. I imagine myself the most wonderful

man in the world, now to just get close to that.

 

William :) :)))

A letter with anthrax on it in an envelope?

 

not an anthrax letter. :)

 

Another hint: 'it' has been around before people existed to see it or categorize it.
