Hihi... I understand. Just catch the barcode with your mobile using a barcode 'reading' program (I used Quickmark's) and you get a link to a picture of a basket with a riddle/question.

Image

The question is: "how many eggs can you put in an empty basket?". It's a simple question. Yet, the answer... You are right if you put one egg in the basket, it isn't empty any more, making it impossible to put a second egg or more. That's the answer commonly formulated to this riddle. Well, I think that's not correct. Or at least not complete. The answer could be 'one', true, but... It could also be 'two', 'three', 'five'... even 'twenty'! All depends...

Think about it: there isn't specified the eggs have to be dropped in there one by one. What if you put two eggs in the basket at the same time? Or more? I tried it. I know there are smaller eggs than chicken' one, but I did the test with chicken' eggs. I still had a basket from that last time I went to my grandma in the forest to find out that she had such a big eyes... oops! that's another story... Sorry! Ok. I have a basket. I managed to hold three eggs in each hand. (I tried to take more than three but that looked more a hint to another riddle like 'how do you manage to break 4 eggs with one hand' or 'how come we eat pancakes tonight?...' and ... ooow... I'm getting of topic again!) ok. I took three eggs in each hand and dropped them at the same time in the empty basket. Makes the outcome of the riddle equals six. See? It could be two, five, even ten for those with bigger hands - very big hands (the hulk?) - all depends how many you can hold at the same time. What if you're a chimp? Have four hands... Ow ow ow, I find this a difficult riddle to solve. Now, wait a minute! Who said how big that basket is? What if it is a small basket? Like a Barbie thing? A basket that can only hold one egg? Or two? What if the basket has the form of a pear, with a small opening on top? Will it be possible to get more than one egg trough the opening at the same time? Small ones yes, maybe, but chicken eggs? Not sure. Tough riddle.

The right answer to this riddle is: "In an empty basket you can put as many eggs as you can drop at the same time into it." (Simple riddle. :wink: )

I cannot answer this turn but I am seriously voting for Zacharie's answer. Excellent logic and all.
Now, who want to hear [red riding]Zach's adventure? <me! me! me!>

Dear Zacharie
I am sorry but you are wrong! If you drop bird eggs into a basket then they stop being eggs and become uncooked Omelette :twisted:

But I am able to tell you that I have successfully put 100 million eggs into a basket. Cod eggs(roe) come in a pouch. Each pouch contains 5 million eggs, so it is easy to hold 20 pouches in your hands & place them in the basket.

Did your Grandmother wolf down the pancakes you cooked for her?

Me and the Wr. Wolf...

Heh... Omelette? Well, to be honest: that was the reason I was going to my grandma that day with pancakes. We had our own chicken and used to have eggs from those every day. One day I received a bicycle for my birthday. It costed a lot of money so my dad sold all the chicken to be able to buy it. From that day on we had to get our eggs from a farmer in the neighbourhood. I loved to do that because I could use my new bicycle for that. Now, after buying the bike there wasn't enough money left to buy a pump with a manometer. So we bought a cheap one - no meter - and probably inflated the tyres to much. As a result the tyres were so hard that the eggs all broke under way because of the rough road. (In my country they use this technique nowadays to test bicycle roads if they need to be repaired: they make someone ride around with a box filled with eggs. The road that turns most eggs into omelette needs the fastest repair. That's why we call it the 'omelette-test'...). So every time I came home with eggs, they were broken and my mother had to find a way to use them. Because bbonzz was still at school learning to code accounting programs in Basic with only 'if-then' commands, she didn't know how to make Pizza... So our lunches and dinners were composed of pancakes those days... Sometimes - when my tyres were freshly pumped - there were so many broken eggs that resulted in to much pancakes that we couldn't eat them ourselves. Then my mother put them in a basket and and send me to my grandma. It was a long way trough the forest, but I used to drop small pieces of pancake along the way so I could find my way back easily. I omitted to ask a copyright for that and later it appeared someone else used this same technique in another story. (But they were so stupid to use pieces of bread and the birds - tired from eating so many pancakes - ate the pieces of bread... so they couldn't find their way back...). Anyway, when I arrived at grandma's house, I saw a wolf lying on the bed. Of course I knew it was a wolf - I'm not stupid - and I saw he was hungry. I think grandma had noticed the wolf just in time because when I entered the bedroom I saw her hiding under the bed where the wolf was doing his show. I noticed before grandma and granddad had become somewhat 'chubby' lately because of all those pancakes I brought them, so I thought it wouldn't be a waste to give my pancakes to the wolf... He looked really hungry! He liked them very much. I just planned to ask him if he wanted some marmalade or sugar, when the door swung open and grandpa came in. Grandpa probably read the wrong story and thought the wolf had eaten grandma. I told him it were only pancakes but a wolf eating his pancakes only made grandpa more angry and he grabbed his rifle and shot the wolf. Now, grandpa's eyes aren't so good any more, so he missed the wolf and shot grandma under the bed by accident (or wasn't it?). My grandma died within a second. That's why I call her 'Mommy' since then. (Because she is a 'Mom' and because of the Egyptian way of keeping the dead. Someone should post that as another meaning of 'Mommy' on wiki...) Ow, am I off-topic again? Right. So there we were: me and the wolf and two dead bodies. (Yes, my grandpa died also, but that's a long story and I tend to get bored from long stories...) ok. The wolf was so kind to help me dump the bodies of my grandma and dad into the pool behind their house (they could be used later in one or another crime investigation TV series, where they are font about recovering bodies from a pool). As a return I told the wolf the address of our egg-selling farmer, and didn't mind to answer him when he asked me if there were other animals beside chicken on that farm. When I said there were not much apart from Three Little Pigs, he just smiled, waved goodbye, and said I would read more stories about him in the future... Last thing I remember is the way he gave me a quick kiss before he left. It felt more like a bite to me but I didn't bother very much that time.

Nowadays you can find me riding my bike trough the forest right after midnight... turning vampires into pancakes! :mrgreen:

Wow Zach, you could totally write a whole new series on your adventures in the forest, maybe you could title the first volume as 'Zach's Adventures in the Forest vol.1: Alive with omelette road repair, pancakes loving wolf and egyptian mummies!' and the next could be something like ''Zach's Adventures in the Forest vol.2: Dead with pancake vampires and much more!'

Ok, let's conclude this 'quickie' (what's in a word :roll: ). Although sherlockx is right about the 'Cod eggs' coming in a pouch containing millions of eggs, your answer still stands, Zach. We consider it to be correct. You get 5 WRZ$ reward for this.

Now, about your story. You have a wonderful imagination, but you should learn to tell the truth. Your grandpa didn't die. Nor did your grandma. Grandpa was trying his costume for the yearly vampire party - he used to go there disguised as a wolf - and grandma simply got stuck under the bed while they were playing 'catch me if you can' (or maybe she was simply looking under the bed for the buttons that had jumped of grandpa's costume while trying it on, as compared to last year he took some weight)... That shooting story you probably made up to explain how you got flat tyre because you drove off the road although your mom had forbidden that. Not one corps you dumped in the pool, but you threw your pancakes in there to attract the fish so you could catch them easily and bring them to that chicken farmer so he couldn't refuse it when you kindly asked him to bring the eggs himself next time so they wouldn't break and your mom wouldn't have to make pancakes any more and you wouldn't have to go into that forest again, where you said you didn't find your way properly because it was so dark there... although you used that as an excuse to finally get that GPS for your bicycle they promised you years ago but don't remember because their memory had been whipped away after those who call themselves 'always living on the dark side of the moon' hijacked them (something of course no one believes, but who are we to tell them they have to much imagination... ). I don't know exactly what's the story with those three pigs, but I do know one day a prince came to your house and you had to try on some kind of shoe you lost on one of your bike trips... (If that is true, of course) Maybe you could one day tell some more about that? :wink:

Next quickie will follow soon... - G & a
