| My friend sent me this...is there really an answer or is he just being stupid? "If a clock is set to go off at 5:00 PM and a rock is thrown 25 yards, how much water is in a lightbulb?" |

Exactly - I cant even subtract 885 from 1000 (I get 15 - trying to get to a 1000 profile views) and somebody puts up this riddle.

Ok, I get it now, but what would be a "smart" way to answer him instead of "there is no water in a lightbulb." I need to make him feel like he was the one who was tricked.... |

the amount of water in the lightbulb would be equals to the same rock thrown at 5mph at 50 yards, at precisely 5:30 PM. |

Easy. The answer is ORANGE.

There is always a slight bit of water in the lightbulb due to water mouisture in the air. The fact it is 5.30pm means it will be slightly more since daytime has gone by, and the heat and then cubsequent cooling will produce minute condensation droplets in the bulb.
Turn teh bulb on, and the heat emitted from teh filament will evaporate it. Then, you will have only the water vapour left in the bulb
Cheers!

An old one:
Which is heavier?
A ton of gold, or a ton of feathers? |

Depending on your location in relation to the equator, and of course your elevation, you could be correct. The right answer is that there is no right answer because not enough information is given. Did that make sense? If so, you need to go to sleep because I'm just rambling.

It depends on what you mean by ton. If depends also on the force of gravity at each of their locations. |

Assuming all else is equal, a (troy) pound of gold would weigh more than a pound of feathers. You can extrapolate that to tons if you like.
