Please help me solve this riddle...

OK, Tim, yah got me.

Yeah, I got 5000 the first time. I did it quickly, thinking it was simple, and my brain said "four thousand ninety, plus 10, 5000. OK, that was easy ... oops!"

[timgoz]

That Berg sure is a tricky old salt.

[Frosty]

No,--- I have never heard the song 'thick as a brick' well I don't think so ,--can you sing it?

If some kind person would explain it to me I would appreciate it. I would be prepared to re emburse someone with points if you are not one of the persons to whom I have given points to recently.

There are 4 1000's yes,-- and 50+30+20+10= 5000--?

4000+100=4100

Tim

Oh yeah---- why did I get it to 5000? Thats strange isnt it.

Thats very clever that. I would always check my change off bergalia.

A hen and a half lays an egg and a half in a day and a half.

How long does it take 100 hens to lay 100 eggs?

SW

[Bergalia]

I reckon a single day. Not even I have half hens laying....yet....

[alan white]

I got 54,243. My theory is there are two answers.

[Frosty]

Im not doing any more of these silly questions ,--How can you get a hen and a half ?
So a hen and half a dead one,-- lays the same as err 1 egg in half a hen--No

Nope --- dont know. My missus says you cant buy half an egg.

Here in the States one can buy hard boiled eggs at most deli's. So if I buy three, I can sell half of one to Frosty and he can show his missus how smart he is.

Speaking of chicken, I have some Chicken Cordon Bleu in the oven as we speak. Cuople more minutes I'll pull the foil off it so it crisps up a bit.

Made it once before to try to impress a girl (knockout!). Must not have had it's intended effect, as though she got the chicken, I did not get what I was after.

Sorry, thought this was the drivel thread.

[Frosty]

Tim I just tried to give you points for taking the foil off the chicken so it crisps up a bit. I know what you mean about crispy chicken,---- here I like to eat crispy duck!!,-- same thing but different.

Anyway I could'nt give you points because I have to spread some more around else'where ,--- something like that.

In my opinion girls are a bit funny about chicken.

In Yorkshire I had very good results with Steak pudding chips and peas in a tray with gravy, outside the gas works.

[timgoz]

Should not have removed foil so quick. Was a little dry, but good.

Tim, Frosty,

Some self discipline, gentlemen, please.

This thread is R_I_D_D_L_E.

You are looking for D_R_I_V_E_L.

Tim, you might want to try Match.com/redneckbeautieswhogoforaguywhatcooks

Down here around Sarasota a guy who can cook for a woman can do pretty well.

[Frosty]

Just hold on Tim,-- Im sure someone will take you through the 3 digit barrier this evening. Sorry to hear about the chicken, I usually warm up a tin of baked beans and chuck em on top in these situations.

Or pour a VB over it. Just to put the fire out.
