OT TEST: What Say You?

[ABM]

Probably, many of you have seen this already. (If so, don't give the solution away, just your answer!)

It's a fun one.....

 

[jonnyboy]

After a quick glance I would say G. But that seems pretty obvious so I’ll have to stare for awhile longer as I’m sure there is a tricky trick.

 

[jonnyboy]

Wait scratch that.

 

[jonnyboy]

It’s F.

 

[Chris Craig]

F

 

[SlyPokerDog]

M

 

[Stevenson]

It has to be G

 

[Chris Craig]

It has to be G

G can't fill up...look closer

 

[PtldPlatypus]

How quickly is the faucet running?

 

[barfo]

M

Close, the right answer is M1 Abrams

[Chris Craig]

How quickly is the faucet running?

It's dripping or it would be A

 

[barfo]

I think we have to consider the possibility of being in a zero-gravity situation.

[PtldPlatypus]

It's dripping or it would be A

How do we know the faucet isn't going to be turned on full blast once the question is answered? And are we sure it's water? What if it's dripping hair gel, or some other gelatinous substance that won't travel through the pipes? There's just not enough information.

And the answer is F.

What if it is just a drawing where someone has colored part of it blue? Whoever has the blue pen can fill up whatever tank they want.

Hadn't even considered that. Or maybe Einstein leans over and puts his mouth on the faucet, and his tank fills up first.

Interestingly enough, this question (or one exceedingly similar) was on a wastewater certification exam I was required to to take by the State of Oregon many years ago......I have no idea if I got the particular question correct but I passed the exam.

Pro Tip for those who might be struggling with the question: Shit rolls down hill........

Exactly why I'm voting for Trump.

I'll go with String theory....an alternate reality where space and liquid are one and the same so it's both empty and full at the same time depending upon how you perceive it

So, you've met Bill Walton, as well?!

I was actually a member of the house band where he used to party at Gary Snyder's place in the Sierras

Very cool. Did he wax poetic about Patricia Hearst?

 

[riverman]

He talked about Bob Dylan all the time or Neil Cassady...Jerry Garcia...never heard the Patricia Hearst rants...the guy can ramble...never struck me as a heavy drinker like all the poets around at the time...

He's something else. I think he visited a Shaman and some type of spiritual healing waters in Eastern Oregon when his ankles were toast as a Blazer. I was happy for him when he made that little comeback as as a Celtic. Picked up a 2nd ring, which was great, as well.

 

[ABM]

The gate blockage to Tank D is the key contributor to the final solution.

Math problem; (Not relevant to today's prices)

Three people check into a hotel. The clerk says $30 and they each pay $10 ($10 x 3) and go to the room. The clerk then realizes he's overcharged them and calls the bellhop over.

He tells the bellhop the room is only $25 and to take the patrons the $5 refund. On the way up to the room, the bellhop realizes $5 can't be split three ways and has a plan. Once at their door, he tells them the hotel overcharged and that they would be getting a $3 refund. He hands them each $1. He keeps the remaining $2 to himself.

OK, they each paid $10 to get the room ($30 total). The bellhop gives them each a $1 refund and keeps $2 for himself. That means they each paid $9

Here's the deal: $9 x 3 = $27, plus the $2 the bellhop kept. That's only $29. What happened to the other $1?

After the $1 refund each, the guests think they paid $27 for the hotel, but $2 of that went to the bellhop. The guests have the other $3 that makes $30 total.

I'm gonna go with 'G' right off the top of my head.

 

[Lanny]

It’s F.

You were right when you guessed 'G'.

 

[ABM]

You were right when you guessed 'G'.

The answer is "F' as there's blockage to tank 'D'.
