I'm sure that's right but you're making me doubt myself

I'm sure that as the clocks go forward (spring) we lose the hour - In October when they go back we have the hour again
If you turn the clock back at midnight (I know it is supposed to be about 2am) it will then be 11 pm - an extra hour

You know what, you're right

It's because I've just taken more tables for my migraine. They kind of make me a little spaced out. I'm suprised I can function at all. My posts will be less intellgent for the rest of the day

I've just remembered a little riddle my dad told me years ago which fits into this thread nicely.

A cowboy rides into town on Wednesday, he stays for three nights and leaves on Wednesday. How is this possible?

Is Wednesday his horse's name?

Yep that's spot on

I thought that was a difficult one. Will have to try harder but I'm finding it difficult to think right now.

I still can't figure out the squirel question

Look at the questions below - try not to think too deeply


There are eight ears of corn in a hollow stump. A squirrel can carry out there ears a day. How many days does it take the squirrel to take out all the ears of corn from the stump?

Eight days. The squirrel has two ears of its own after alll!!!!!

'kay... as far as I can tell, these are the last 2 oustanding questions...

Which candles burn longer – beeswax or tallow?
Which two whole numbers multiplied together make 17?

I have no idea what the answer to either is... I do know that commercially produced candles are no longer made of either beeswax or tallow but which burns longer????

Some hints here Manor... thy're driving me nutty...
