| Each week I will post a riddle/quiz. - All participants must PM ME the answer of the riddle as well as it's explanation - It would be good that if you already know the riddle you should't compete -No googling allowed Because of raising activity in this topic the Staff decided that the prizes can go up!!! So 1st place gets 150 credits second place gets 75 and third place 50 All other participants get 25 credits for entering So here is this week's riddle(easy difficulty): NOTE: PLEASE IF YOU KNOW THE RIDDLE BUT STILL WANT TO PARTICIPATE WRITTE IN YOUR PM THAT YOU ALREADY KNEW THE RIDDLE. - Spoiler:
A father and son were in a car accident. An ambulance took the father to a hospital 4 miles away and the son was taken to a different hospital which was fifty miles from the accident. When the son was taken into surgery the surgeon said "I can't operate on this patient because he is my son" How can this be?

| Agree that it is relatively easy. I do not care about the difficuclty I just want more people to compete in this one. So I sacrificed difficulty to gain activity. Let's see if it works :P | |

Aris thank you for the interest but if you want to know please contact me in pm so that this mess wont be created.

| Can you please explain this riddle before I lock it? It doesn't make sense to me :( If the surgeon was the mother then what information do we get from the fact that his father was sent to a different hospital? And why was he? | |

The information is in bold. The father was taken to a different hospital, so he couldn't have operated, meaning only someone who was the son's parent could have operated him. But since his father is out of discussion, his mother was the only available parent left :P Hope that clears it out. As for why the father was sent to a different hospital: - redgar wrote:

And I assume they had issues with places in the first hospital. | |

| +1 for the explanation Supreme_King. Sinakis I think he covered you that's the answer.
@Winduct: It cant be his father since his father was also in the accident and was sent to ANOTHER hospital | |

| A father and son were in a car accident. An ambulance took the father...
2 fathers and 2 sons go fishing. Each of them catches one fish. So why do they bring home only 3 fishes?
Remember? You don't state that the father is the son's father. It could be the surgeon's father, couldn't it? :3 Anyway, thank you for explaining it (though it was easy :P) (Red please send me a pm with your answer to that :P)
150 credits cashed to Supreme King 75 credits cashed to John Doe 50 credits cashed to Aris 25 credits cashed to Winduct, Monesias, Terraplant, sinakis Locked!~ | |
