    There is a guy cutting his lawn..
    he divides his lawn up in to 3 equal parts

    it takes him 90 minutes to mow the first part
    it takes him 90 minutes to mow the second part

    but on the last part it takes him an hour and half.

    Can you explain this

    Just to clear things up...someone who doesen't see it right away isen't necesairly stupid ...they are just overanalyzing the problem and or comming up with a very creative response...

    Reminds me of the old teaser: "A plane crashes on the border between country X and country Y - in which country do they decide to bury the survivors?"

    Hey, I've got one:

    A guy asks someone:
    -What's the time?
    -20:15
    The guy looks at his watch and it shows 8:15
    Can somebody explain this? Huh, CAN YOU?

    edit::rolleyes:

    Oh, I can....

    (((20*512)+42-3)/512) - 12 = 8
    ((sqrt(15+9898948934+42))^2) - 9898948934+42 = 15

    So, that shoudl prove that it is the same as 8:15 :)
