Just a thought for a new Post!!!
Riddles or Brain Teasers.
Any member can post a Riddle or Brain Teaser, see who can solve it the quickest?
Starting with this one!
A black dog is sleeping in the middle of a black road that has no streetlights and there is no moon. A car coming down the road with its lights off steers around the dog.
How did the driver know the dog was there?
Nature Is Amazing - Let Us Keep It That Way
A horse is tied to a 15 ft. rope and there is a bail of hay 25 ft. away from him. Yet the horse is able to eat from the bail of hay. How is this possible!
My first thought is that the 10ft rope is only tied to the horse but not anchored to anything else, so therefore the horse can go where it wishes, including to the bail of hay.
I thought this might have taken a wee bit longer to solve!
Brenda H well done, ( the rope is actually 15ft )

There are 8 marbles that weigh 1 ounce each, and 1 marble that weighs 1.1 ounces. The marbles are all uniform in size, appearance, and shape. You have a balance that contains 2 trays. You are only able to use the scale 2 times. How do you determine which marble is the heaviest using only the scale and marbles in 2 weighings.
Take six marbles for first weigh, three in each tray.
If they balance, heavy marble is one of the other two which can be identified in second weigh.
If two groups of three don't balance, take heaviest three and put one aside. Use other two for second weigh.
If these two balance, the heaviest is the one you put aside.
If they don't, you have found the heaviest marble.
Ospreys Rule OK, but Goldfinches come a close second!

Well Done OG
Place 3 marbles on each tray.- If the first weighing doesn't balance, remove all the marbles from the lighter side, and place one marble on each tray from the heavier tray. The heavier side is the 1.1 ounce marble, but if they balance, then the marble from the heavier tray from the first weighing that was not weighed in the second weighing is the heavier one(1.1).- If the marbles balance on the first wieiging, remove the marbles from the trays, and place 2 of the remaining unweighed marbles on the trays, one on each tray. If one is heavier, it is the heavier marble(1.1), but if they balance, the remaining unweighed marble is the heavier one.

Sorry Tiger but you missed Lindybird's answer, which was the following post.
That is what happens when you rely on search. I thought the question would be repeated in the answer.
If your sock drawer has 6 black socks, 4 brown socks, 8 white socks, and 2 tan socks, how many socks would you have to pull out in the dark to be sure you had a matching pair?
