New Trivia Question.

OK Number 1 grandson...Lets get ready to rumble!! Remember folks, this ant no ordinary kid. Already he has pr oven his brilliance in 4 dimensional geometrical thinking. Don't let the age fool you as i did in the brick and the feather paradox, he don't fool me!!! *How do you get an Elephant into a refrigerator*? Hummm! Knowing what i have learned about this kids way of thinking, the answer must be something to do with the geometry of the Elephant? Can we fold the Elephant up? Will have to give the problem further thought, its a tricky one!

*Kind off makes you think about the saying, 'as free as a bird'*. Free...Yes, but like all species, confined within the limitations of there own domains. Tis what makes us humans so unique. We have spread our wings beyond the bounds of this earthly domain. We have ridden upon the Chariot of our own imaginations and beyond the limitations of flesh and bone. We have journeyed to a places where fantasy contradicts reality and yet we find sanctuary for our minds. In this place we learn the true meaning of the human tragedy. We learn to love, hate and cry and what it manse to give freely that which may only be given from the honesty of a selfless heart and mind. But have we truly set our selfs free from imposed captivity? Has our journey taken us to the limit of human ingenuity? Perhaps we all dream of flying freely and it is this that binds us, yet frees us at the same time.? Perhaps it is the human spirit that defines the true nature of man kind and only after death may that spirit travel to a places where the hart becomes one, with the mind. Perhaps, I will dream to night. *Sorry, it just comes over me from time to time*

NO!!! Thats terrible, you cant do that!!! Unless its already passed away? Dare i say it? WARNING! THE BELOW ANSWER IT NOT SUITABLE READING FOR 5 YEAR OLD DO NOT LET NUMBER ONE GRANDSON READ IT, OR I MAY CAUSE SEROUS PERMANENT DAMAGE. Cut it up?

Build a bigger refrigerator.

this one had me stumped for ages...it's not a joke btw... How do you capture a beautiful bird without killing it's spirit?

Ha! Now Jude, do you mean capture in the literal sense, or capture as in a photograph?

Non-Violent solutions only. A five year old must be able to live with the results. Here's the story. My grandaughter Joy likes to get chocolate milk from the refridgerator in the mornings. One morning, she takes her little pink stuffed elephant to the fridge, places it on the shelf inside and removes the carton of choc milk. She forgets about the poor little stuffed elephant she left in the fridge. Sometime afterwards, they decided that they wanted waffles, so I open the fridge to remove the frozen waffles and there sitting on the shelf is a small stuffed pink elephant. Well, in a playful over-dramatization, I proclaim that there is an Elephant in the refridgerator. The kids are agast (Joy has forgotten she put it in there, she's only 4). I playfully begin to quiz the kids and their parents on how an elephant could have possibly made it into the refridgerator. My grandson stated, matter of factly.... She opened the door, put it in and closed the door. That's how you get an elephant into the refridgerator. Open the door, put it in and close the door.

That boy is a genius, i would never have concluded that.

hehe. Bright kid!

OK. Try this one. I used to know some one who would lay out some cards, ask me to chose (in my mined), a couple of pares. Only in my mind remember, there was nothing to indicate which cards i was thinking of. So i was very impressed when he told me which one's every time. He said he could not tell me how he did it, but if could see the significance in 4 words, then i would know. I was only a teenager, so easily impressed. So whats the relation ship between these 4 words? The four words were: MUTUS DEDIT NOMEN COCIS So from this, you can read peoples minds and impress the girls/lad's, which ever your preference Bet some smarty pants gets it straight away..

Is yore dicklecksia goner bee a problum?

on.

Are they Spartak Moscows back four John?

It's the formula for the Pair Repaired Card trick, been around since the 1700's. Any decent conjurer would know this.

Ha! But can you explain how it works me old cocker?

Well, my book is over at the house, I have a book of old card tricks. This one is in it. As I recall, the letters are of Latin origin (duh). There are a few variations on the patterns, and I think you can use different words. The basic ides is that by laying cards down in the pattern of these words, you ask someone to pick a pair of cards and point to the rows the cards are in, this pattern will correctly determine which cards will be the pair. It's a mathmatical matrix model, this is taught in college as basic game theory. I don't know how to do the trick, never tried it, but now I may give it a go. Never been much for card tricks and such....Knowing there's a simple solution for things makes it less enjoyable I suppose. I've also read a number of James Randi's books, he gives a pretty good rundown on things like this and other "magical doings", which he clearly strips the fact from fiction.

What's an "Old Cocker". Is it anything like an Old Smart Ass? If so, I plead guilty.

means my old friend RD. Now if he'd called you a plonker...

*Smarty pants* Yes Denver, its a matrix off sorts and your explanation is close. The relationship lays in the pared letters of each word, laying them out first from left to wright. Ask some one to chose in there minds some cards, pick them in a particular order, lay them out from top to bottom, ask what groups card is in and you know which cards were chosen. Theres a few other way's do do it. Its a nice little trick..

Mind you Flash, how do we know what Plonker means over there? I mean look what they call a dummy tit! and as for what they cal the bum.. come to think of it! If thats what you call the bum.. What do you call.. Well you know?

I think you're referencing the... XQJ-37 Nuclear Powered Roto Plooker. It looks like a chrome plated pig with marital aids attached to it.

*XQJ-37 Nuclear Powered Roto Plooker* A Nuclear Powered Plook remover? Dam! I'm impressed...

Is that what Americans call a front bottom.........blimey!!!!

Bet you have trouble holding that baby down?

capture in a literal sense. The answer is "by becoming the sky"

Ha! I see, to surround completely.. I wasn't far of then Jude?

No ...the photography awnser was good John!

I'm of out. Tell grand Son, i will take up his challenge when i return..

You have to take the butter out first.
