A............?
Don't read this is you haven't voted.
Still reading? So, I guess you've voted already? Good.
So, Anne has two possibilities. She could either be married or unmarried. She is looking at George, so, if she is married, there would be a married person looking at an unmarried person. If she is unmarried, John is looking at her, and, since John is married, that is a married person looking at an unmarried person. Either possibility has a married person looking at an unmarried person, so the answer is A.
Again, if you read that without voting first, your cheating if you vote now. Shame on you.
I know. If no one had given the answer I think everyone would have voted C.

-Albert Einstein
The correct answer is A.
The question is asking "Is a married person looking at an unmarried person?"
It's true we don't know if Anne is married or not.
But,
-If she is married, she is looking at George who is unmarried. This satisfies the question.
-If she is unmarried, Jack who is married is looking at her. This also satisfies the question.
I said C too. No way that 6/11 people picked A. Y'all are cheaters. That or you suspected it was a trick question - in which case you're just cynical lol.
I like your picture Pettit. Why does George have question mark eyebrows? lol

New Logic Game:
Rules, if you think you know the answer, PM it to me and I will edit your name into this post in the list of winners. Do not post your answer onto the thread. No cheating.
Puzzle:
Three people are in a competition. All three competitors are given a hat from a box that they have to wear. In the box there are four hats, two red hats and two blue hats. The competitors don't know the color of their hat, they can only see the bottom of the hat, which is the same for everyone.
The three competitors are put in a line facing the same way. They can only look in front of them, never behind. So they can see the color of the hats of people in fron of them, but not heir own color or that of people behind them.
Graph:
l 1 2 3
l = wall, 123 = competitors 1, 2, and 3
all are facing the wall.
Now, the objective of his game is to guess the color of your own hat. As soon as someone guesses correctly the game is over. After 10 minutes, competitor 2 figures out the answer and wins the game.
How does competitor 2 figure out he color of his hat?
Note: he hasn't cheated or guessed, and you have all the information to figure out the question already.
Go.

lol, when I answered the question 5 people had voted C and 1 person had voted A. And no, I didn't cheat
But anyways, for MVPlayas question, I would say that player 2 picked the color different from the color of player 1. Player 3 would have immediately known the color of his hat if the first two players had the same color hat, but he didn't. So they have different color hats. Knowing this, player 2 picked the opposite color hat that player 1 was wearing
Another brainteaser for you. As with MVPlaya's, please don't post your answer in this thread. PM it to me.
If you get it right, you will be added to the hall of fame. If you get it wrong, nothing happens. If you post your answer in this thread, your name will be added to the super-fail-and-shame list.
Two men are in a race to a mountain and back. The first man goes there at a rate of 1 mile per hour, and comes back at a rate of 3 miles per hour. The second man goes there at a rate of 2 miles per hour, and comes back at a rate of 2 miles per hour.
Who wins the race, or is it a tie?
Again, private message me the answer. Don't post it here or your name will go down in shame forever.

I will not indulge your hom0sexual fantasies by exchanging private messages with you
The time it takes for one leg of the journey is d/r, d is the distance to the mountain and r is the rate
The total time for the first man is d/1 + d/3 = 4d/3
The total time for the second man is d/2 + d/2 = d
d < 4d/3, so the second man won the race
C Not enough info
Wow I didn't even get a chance.
