The doorman at an exclusive club says one word to each prospective entrant. If the entrant answers correctly he is allowed to enter; otherwise, he is rejected.
A hopeful nonmember observed carefully as a member approached. The doorman said, "Twelve." The member replied, "Six." He was admitted. A second member came up. The doorman said, "Six." The member replied, "Three." He was admitted. The man now decided that this was easy and he stepped forward. The doorman said, "Ten." The man replied, "Five." The doorman angrily kicked him out. What should he have said?
CLUES:
(1) The code would work in other languages, but probably with a different combination of numbers. For example, in Italian, the doorman might say "Otto," and the member reply, "Quattro."
(2) The code was based soley on numbers.

JTS1H
Y'all!!! This was solved in record time!!!! Good job! I'll have to put another one up.
Try the toothpaste one. No one else has!
Ms. A. :)
Try this one!! A man leaves for work early in the morningin order not to wake his wife he left the light off. he has 6 white pairs of socks and 6 black pairs of socks. They are not folded. How many socks will he have to take into the bathroom to get dressed to have a matching pair.
Um, remember your last line so we know to whom we're speaking!!! :)
Does he have to take three?
I would probably take all of them. "Just in case," you know, something happened to them...
Ms. A. :)
3 is correct!
JTS1H
OMG, am I right about that last puzzle? I thought you were still talking about the number puzzle. I AM SO SMART!!!
Thanks for sharing, JTS. Now, the toothpaste.
Ms. A. :)

thanks rick! I cannot wait until we have a conversation tomorrow about your music!
check out the blog on Moodle, too! :)
Ms. A. :)
I am so proud of how everyone is following the blogging rules--the last line is so important so I know who is posting!
I am also so proud of everyone who is treating this blogging space as a classroom space!
So, Annony, super funny comments, but remember I moderate everything! :) Why don't you try to solve the puzzles instead?
Ms. A. :)
I have a puzzle.
A guy lives on the 10th floor of an apartment building. Every day he takes the elevator down to the lobby to go to work. When he comes back from work he takes the elevator to the 7th floor then walks up the stairs the rest of the way. Why?
Hint: He does not walk up the stairs for exercise.
He does this every day.

Anonny... I mean BBL
BBL, I LOVE THE PUZZLE!!! And I love that you are using the rules that have been established to create the safest blog possible!!
And continue to think in evaluative terms. We will begin a discussion soon about the themes found in our novels, and we need Anonny's critical thinking.
Um...maybe there is rush at the seventh floor and he doesn't like crowds?
Solve the toothpaste puzzle. No one else has touched it.
Check out the links on the Moodle page. And you can now enroll in the class.
Ms. A. :)
I think the only reasonable answer for the elevator lateral puzzle is that the tenant is a midget!
That would explain why he can always travel down (the lobby button is usually lowest), and can only reach the 7th floor (due to the button being high).
Mr. Cooper, MBA Candidate
I think Mr. C is right, BBL. Is he? Share with us!!
And solve the toothpaste riddle! No one has even touched it!
There are more puzzles on Moodle. Look at those!
Ms. A. :)
Mr. Cooper, you got it right. Good job. I did not think anyone would get it that quickly. Oh and happy birthday.
From,
BBL
It was a pretty good puzzle! I certainly had to think outside the box...I wonder if the midget could reach where I was thinking! Just kidding...
Oh, and many thanks for the birthday wishes BBL.
