Here's a train-related (sorta) brain teaser, known as Smith, Robinson, and Jones.
Three railway men named Smith, Robinson, and Jones and three businessmen similarly named, live in the State of New York. The businessman Robinson and the brakeman live in Albany, the businessman Jones and the fireman live in Rochester, while the businessman named Smith and the engineer live halfway between these two cities. The brakeman's namesake earns $3,500 a year (this is from a book published in 1949
); the engineer earns one third of the business man nearest him. The railway man Smith beats the fireman at billiards. Name the engineer.

Spock says: "insufficient data to draw a logical conclusion, therefore, the answer must be illogical". That sounds logical....
Re: Keeping the Brain Cells Active - Tyson Rayles - 06-04-2013
Spock never lies!

No one notice when I said I got all 12 of em' that there are only 11?

Re: Keeping the Brain Cells Active - teejay - 06-04-2013
Yes Mike , I noticed the 12 reference , but I thought you would be thinking " they didn't notice I said 12 answers to 11 questions " , but I did notice that so I thought you might respond to the "12 questions vis-à-vis 11 answers " so I laid low
hock: ....and you said it first , so .......what was the question ??
