Well as it is yet another long weekend, I'm outta here!
Time to hit the mainland for a few days camping with friends.

Anyhow, as I will NOT be taking my laptop this time (not on call until Tuesday, YAY!)I will start Friday's Yuk today, or this time a few riddles for the weekend.

[u]RIDDLE:BAGS AD BEADS[/u] You are given 5 bags. There are 10 beads in each of the bags. In four of the bags, the beads each weigh 10 kilograms. In the remaining bag, each bead weighs only 9 kilograms. All the bags and beads look identical. You must find out which bag has the lighter beads. The problem is that all the bags look identical and all the beads look identical. You can use a scale, but it has to be a single-tray scale, not a two-tray balance scale. Also, you may use the scale only once. How can you find out which bag has the lighter beads?

[u]RIDDLE:NINE GOLD COINS[/u]You have 9 gold coins. All 9 coins look exactly the same but one coin is a fake and is either lighter or heavier than the other 8 coins. You have a scale - balance type with 2 trays - but can only load it twice. How do you find the fake gold coin?

And some dumb yuks sent from my brother the other night. [i](he runs a law firm so some of these really aren't funny)[/i]

A guy is sat on a plane bound for Las Vegas, just before take off. He notices a stunning young lady board the plane and follows her with his eyes as she walks along the aisle. She peers at her boarding card and looks at the seat numbers. As luck would have it, she has been allocated the seat next to his. Feeling quite pleased that he's got some 'eye candy' for the duration of the flight, he starts a conversation with her.

'Hi. Are you going to Vegas or connecting with another flight?'

'Vegas', she replies, 'on a business trip.'

'Oh. Are you in a show there or do you work in a hotel or something?'

'Actually, I'm a lecturer and I'm giving a speech at a conference', she says.

'Wow! That's impressive!' our guy responds. 'What are you speaking about?'

'Well, I'm lecturing about sex. Popular misconceptions about sex, to be accurate. You see, many people think that Afro-Americans or African men are the best endowed, when in actual fact, native American Indians have the biggest organs. People also think that Latin or French people are the best lovers, when in fact the Greeks are the most romantic and skilled lovers. When it comes to the kindest and most generous men many think the English or Scandinavians are top in that respect, but in truth it's actually the Irish who excel in that area.'

'But I'm rambling on' she continues. 'How rude of me...I haven't even asked you your name!'

'Tonto Popadopoulus', the man replies, 'but my friends all call me Paddy.'

That was a good one. My husband has a variation of that tactic every nite :)

You have 5 bags: #1,#2,#3,#4,#5.
You're going to weigh #1.

Put two beads from #2 in #1.
Put three beads from #3 in #1.
Put four beads from #4 in #1.

Now there are 19 beads in #1.
Weigh #1.

If #1 weighs 190kg, #5 is the light bag.
(19 beads X 10kg) = 190kg

If #1 weighs 186, #4 is the light bag.
(15 beads X 10kg) + (4 beads X 9kg)= 186kg

If #1 weighs 187, #3 is the light bag.
(16 beads X 10kg) + (3 beads X 9kg)= 187kg

If #1 weighs 188, #2 is the light bag.
(17 beads X 10kg) + (2 beads X 9kg)= 188kg

If #1 weighs 180, #1 is the light bag.
(9 beads X 10kg) + (10 beads X 9kg)= 180kg

I've heard riddle 2, so I'll save it for someone else.

by oz_media

Nobody else managed to offer a reasonable answer so you have to take the cake even though your not quite right,
Here's the solution that was provided:
SOLUTION FOR BAGS AND BEADS:
Label the bags from 1 to 5. Take 1 bead out of Bag 1, and label it 1. Take 2 beads out of Bag 2, and label them both with a 2. Take 3 beads out of Bag 3, and label each with a 3. Continue this pattern with Bags 4 and 5. Put these 15 beads on the tray of the scale.
If all 15 weighed 10 kilograms, the scale would register 150 kilograms. But since one or more of the beads weighs only 9 kilograms, the scale will register less than 150. Subtract the number on the scale from 150. Your answer will tell you the number of the bag with the lighter beads. (If the scale registers 148, it?s bag #2. If the scale registers 145, it?s bag #5.)

Good shot anyway!
