Einstein's Riddle. Also possibly attributed to Lewis Carol.

The zebra puzzle is a well-known logic puzzle. It is often called Einstein's Puzzle or Einstein's Riddle because it is said to have been invented by Albert Einstein as a boy; it is sometimes claimed that only 2% of the population can solve it.

I know a naughty zebra joke.

Tsk @ Ze googling!

The zebra puzzle is like those that you get in the quiz books (compendiums) if you set it out in columns it isn't that hard, if you take time and evaluate everything - it is quite easy.

I just looked on wiki and they said because of a certain reference it can't be attributed to Einstein or Lewis Carroll.

ps whats that joke about zebras?

Thank you so much for your confidence in me, I-spy.

I don't think I put the logical in biological though.

What can zebras have that no other animals can have?

Baby zebras?

Anyone doing the naughty one?

then there's the penguin puzzle

The 7 dwarfs are all excited as the new pope is visiting fairy story land.
All week they nudge Dopey sniggering "Well you can finally ask your question!", to which Dopey replies every time "Shurrup willya!"
Finally the day arrives and all the dwarfs are lined up with the other characters from the Snow White story, he shakes hands with the evil Queen, then Snow White then slowly makes his way down the line of the dwarfs.
As he approaches Dopey theres a small chant which gets louder and louder "Ask him.ask him...ask him ASK HIM>!"
"Ask me what?" Questions the pope.
The dwarfs shove Dopey forward "ASK HIM!",
"What would you like to know?", says his holiness.
"Well", begins Dopey, "Are any of your nuns black?"
"Hm" ponders the pope "As a religion we catholics don't differentiate between creed so its more than probable that quite a few of our nuns are black . Does that answer your question?"
ASK HIM!! shout the dwarfs.
"Is there more to your question young man?"
"Erm......do any of your nuns work in Antarctica?"
"well young man we have nuns all around the globe so its more than likely that we have a couple in Antarctica. Does that answer your question?"
ASK HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yell the dwarfs!
"Is there more to this question?" asks the pope now getting more than annoyed.
"Erm..................................are any of these black nuns in Antarctica dwarfs?!
"WHAT"! Splutters the pope.
"I'm sure if we had a black dwarf nun in Antarctica i would have heard of it. So in answer to your question NO!"
All the dwarfs collapse on the floor pissing themselves laughing.
"DOPEY HAD SEX WITH A PENGUIN!! DOPEY HAD SEX WITH A PENGUIN!!"

Like that one gwim

hahaha lol

Why there are no dead penguins on the ice in Antarctica –
Where do they go? ........

answer//


It is a known fact that the penguin is a very ritualistic bird which lives an extremely ordered and complex life.
The penguin is very committed to its family and will mate for life, as well as maintaining a form of compassionate contact with its offspring throughout its life. If a penguin is found dead on the ice surface, other members of the family and social circle have been known to dig holes In the ice, using their wings and beaks, until the hole is deep enough for the dead bird to be rolled into and buried.
The male penguins then gather in a circle around the fresh grave and sing:



“Freeze a jolly good fellow"
"Freeze a jolly good fellow."

Then they kick him in the ice hole.

The german lives in the green house,drinks coffee,smokes prince and keeps fish,

Hope that's clear

Praise the Lord. I can sleep again!

Yes, thanks, I-spy.

Riddles can disturb sleep.

(Possibly a problem for that German who lives in the green house, smokes prince and keeps fish ...

... all that coffee drinking. )

It's a great relief to have a pal like Jimmy
