Misses got stuck on Dr leymonds what ever that game is called on the DS... Took me a good few tries then finally got the answer!

Question was:

Brother and sister talking to each other...

Brother says:

"Sister you know if i gave you 2 years of my age you'd be twice my age"

The sister replies:

"i know, but if you gave me 1 more year of your age i'd be 3 times your age"

.... How old are the siblings?

Any1 care to continue the quiz
 
what a stupid question I hate things like that, it's pretty much a question written really crap!
 
Sounds like BS to me. As if if 6 year olds would even be able to comprehend the concepts they're supposedly discussing in this alleged scenario.
 
heh

dr layton and the curious village

some of the questions are really awkward, the gf enjoys playing through it and hates using hint coins, she has about 60 of them piled up, but refuses to use them :p
 
Thank you, Lord of excellent grammar.

Did i say I am. I just hate things written like that boogles my head, i'm part dyslexic next time i'll try harder when writting quickly on internet forums!

...and there it is!

You confirming or making fun? not that i mind.

All the riddles I know are all on the internet so people can cheat.

What is the one with the hats and the three kings or something that was amazing!

Found it

The three wisest sages in the land were brought before the king to see which of them were worthy to become the king's advisor. After passing many tests of cunning and invention, they were pitted against each other in a final battle of the wits.

Led blind-folded into a small room, the sages were seated around a small wooden table as the king described the test for them.

"Upon each of your heads I have placed a hat. Now you are either wearing a blue hat or a white hat. All I will tell you is this- at least one of you is wearing a blue hat. There may be only one blue hat and two white hats, there may be two blue hats and one white hat, or there may be three blue hats. But you may be certain that there are not three white hats."

"I will shortly remove your blind folds, and the test will begin. The first to correctly announce the colour of his hat shall be my advisor. Be warned however, he who guesses wrongly shall be beheaded. If not one of you answers within the hour, you will be sent home and I will seek elsewhere for wisdom."

With that, the king uncovered the sages' eyes and sat in the corner and waited. One sage looked around and saw that his competitors each were wearing blue hats. From the look in their eyes he could see their thoughts were the same as his, "What is the colour of my hat?"

For what seemed like hours no one spoke. Finally he stood up and said, "The colour of the hat I am wearing is . . ."
