Absolutly Right NoFrets!!!

OK here is another for you all...

There was once a college that offered a class on probability applied to the real world.

The class was relatively easy, but there was a catch. There were no homework assignments or tests, but there was a final exam that would have only one question on it. When everyone received the test it was a blank sheet of paper with a solitary question on it: "What is risk?" Most students were able to pass, but only one student received 100% for the class! Even stranger was that he only wrote down one word!

What did he write?

This

Life!??

I think RockBottom is right... "This" would be the riskiest answer.

 MIKE                   "I'm... a... high... way... STAR..."   

Rock Bottom and NoFrets are correct. RdQueen you said what I said...

Answer
The brilliant student wrote down:

"This."

And handed in the paper.

By doing this, the student demonstrated that he understood that having your grade based on one exam is risky.
Plus, putting just one word on such an important exam and hoping the professor understands what he means is risky in and of itself!

and now for a word game...Gee I love English!

The blanks in the following sentences will be filled in with three different homonyms (words that are spelled differently but sound alike) to make valid sentences. The dashes indicate the number of letters in the words. Can you fill in the blanks?

1. The cut on his _ _ _ _ won't _ _ _ _ in time for the race, so _ _ '_ _ have to drop out.

2. The man was so upset about being _ _ _ _ that he regularly _ _ _ _ _ _ himself up on the bed and _ _ _ _ _ _ his eyes out.

3. I couldn't _ _ _ _ _ any of the _ _ _ _ _ _ in the flower shop, because for some strange reason I had 50 _ _ _ _ _ crammed up my nose.

4. A bloodthirsty pirate will wander the _ _ _ _ and essentially _ _ _ _ _ everything he _ _ _ _.

1. heel, heal, he'll
2. bald, balled, bawled
3. sense, scents, cents
4. seas, seize, sees

You guys are correct. I have to put this forum on hold for a few days. Many things to do thus I have to limit my CF pleasure time. See you all next week.

Anyone who wants to post some riddles and or brain teasers please feel free to do so!!!

Here's one...

You have a track that is one mile around from start to finish. You ride your motorcycle around it once at 30 mph. How fast would you have to ride the second lap for the two laps to average 60 mph?

 MIKE                   "I'm... a... high... way... STAR..."   

A whole lot faster than your bike will go. It will make your eyes water a lot and your face will look really funny.. Especially when you find out what your average really end up being after you try...

That pretty close, Howard!  The truth is, it's impossible at any speed to average 60 mph! 

To average 60 mph for two miles would take two minutes (one mile per minute).  If you drove the first mile at 30 mph (effectively, one mile in two minutes), you have already used ALL your allotted minutes.  No amount of speed can get you back on track...

 

Here's another...

What's the next letter in this sequence?       O  T  T  F  F  S  S  E  N  T  E  T... 

 MIKE                   "I'm... a... high... way... STAR..."   

T  then F then F

but I won't say why so others can still guess

Heard this one this morning on the radio:

The two sisters mother die. At the funeral the first sister meets a very nice man but never exchange numbers. that night the first sister kills her other sister. why?
