Ok Let's start it off...
If you try to fail, and succeed, which one did you do?

I am so bored and not really tired so I decided to yet again try to do a new thing here. Yea I'm running out of ideas. Ok Let's start it off... If you try to fail, and succeed, which one did you do? Im not sure how these work, but it seems the answer is "You Failed at Failing?" >< lol(example:when your rents are trying to make ya get a job, but ya dont want one, so you try to botch up the app by filling out the drug use part to the point making yourself look bad, and then they end up hiring you anyway >< lol it happend when i was younger.) |

I mean if you wanted to fail and succeed in failing, what did you do then?

uh... well let's see. Duh, you did both. (usually something I like to do too.)
...this reminds me of stupid questions I was always asked. Like the whole which weighs more, a pound of feathers or a pound of quarters. I wanna answer a really difficult question.

If your main goal is to fail, then success would mean failure. Failure to reach your goal of failure would mean success when you wanted failure instead, oddly enough.
So that means the answer is you succeed at failing. Or you just plain succeed in simpler terms.
....amirite?

It's a no answer question I believe.

Doesn't sound like a paradox to me.
I'm fairly sure I just broke it down.
MOAR!

... *drags out a book she has on this stuff* I really do dislike this book- half the time, the questions are so vague that it could be one of forty-bajillion answers. ... Or maybe it's the lateral thinking one that I abhor. >.> Oh, well.
1. Exactly one of the statements in this list is false.
2. Exactly two of the statements in this list are false.
3. Exactly three of the statements in this list are false.
4. Exactly four of the statements in this list are false.
5. Exactly five of the statements in this list are false.
6. Exactly six of the statements in this list are false.
7. Exactly seven of the statements in this list are false.
8. Exactly eight of the statements in this list are false.
9. Exactly nine of the statements in this list are false.
10. Exactly ten of the statements in this list are false.
Now, which are true and which are false?

that's a tricky one... -_-; there's like a lot of contradictions when i try to reason it out. this is the kind of question i abhor

1-8 and 10 are false cause there's nothing false about them, but there are 9 things false with the list so 9 is right.

I'd say all of them.
Is the answer to this question no?

Whole book of'em, man. *goes to search* Alright, lateral thinking. >.> One of these was the one I hated for being vague.
A burglar is stealing two bars of gold, each so heavy he cannot lift it above his waist. On his way out of the vault, he suddenly sees a security camera ahead. Thinking quickly, he disguises himself without putting down the gold bars. How?
Clues:
-Was he wearing anything on his head? -No
-Did the criminal cover his face with something? -Yes
-Did he cover his face with something burglars typically use while robbing banks? -No
Good luck. >.> I 'ing hate these problems.

He lay down on his back, hiding behind the gold bars.
Is the answer to the question in this post no?

Mmm, nope, nope, nope, nope. He was chewing bubblegum at the time, and blew a really big bubble to hide his face.
See why I hate these things?

Heh. Comin' right up. n_n
A teacher writes a whole number less than 50 000 on the blackboard. One student states that the number is a multiple of 2; a second student states the number is a multiple of 3; and so on until a twelfth student says that it is a multiple of 13. The teacher remarks that all except two of the students were right, and moreover, that the two who were wrong spoke one after the other.
What was the number that the teacher wrote on the blackboard?

Ok 2-6 is guarenteed to be in because if it was 6, then it couldn't be 12, making it impossible, if that's true, then it must end in 0 to be divisible by 2 and 5, that means 10 is default. And if something is divisible by 6 and 4, then it's divisible by 12(and if it's one after another, then 11 and 13 are out too), leaving 7/8 and 8/9(So 8 is one of the numbers)...... I'm good in math but, I'm too fried to do this one.

Here's a more logic based one:
There are three girls sitting in a vehicle. The driver stops at a convience store, and closes and locks all doors, windows, trunk, and hood (Probably wanted to be cautious).
The driver returns to find out that all occupents of her vehicle gone. There were no signs of forced entry (all doors, windows, etc were undamaged). All locks that she put in place before entering the store were never disenguaged after leaving the vehicle. How were the occupants able to leave?

...i'm getting close with this one. 9900 almost worked it wasn't a mulitple of 7 or 8... but it wasn't a multiple of 13 either....
...1980 doesn't work either. the same thing happens...
