A riddle

[Osman]

Q. What travels all around the world, but still always stays in the corner?

[sheik]

salaam,

a stamp or the internet. most likely the internet becuase a stamp on a letter will only reach a certain destination, but if your computer is in the corner then you can surf the world wide web.

my final answer is stamp, becasue its propbably one of those inaccurate answers.

salaam

Salaam all,

Asif asked his mother for a $90 toy. His mother told him he would have to the make the money himself. To help him, she said she would match however much money Asif made in the first day of his job with the exact square of that amount. "So if you earn $2, I'll give you $4", his mother said. On the first day, twenty people each bought an item for 15¢, bringing in $3. At first the mother thought that she had gotten off lightly, until Asif told her that she owed exactly as much as the toy cost. How did Asif outwit his mother?

Salaam,

A Soviet-made, green buzzer.

with the exact square of that amount.

Peace, halcyondream. You probably meant "with exactly double that amount", no? Otherwise that math don't add up.

[halcyondream]

Peace, JC,

2 squared is 4... right?

*mathematical world crashing down around her*

Tell me 2 squared is 4!

*recovers*

[Ratatosk]

Salaam,

Oh dearest halcyondream, indeed 2 squared is 4! Don't let anyone tell you otherwise!

Hmm... 15 squared is 225, times 20 is 4500 cents equaling 45 euros, *when doubled* equals 90 euros. When *squared* equals 2025 euros. (Gosh, I just noticed that I've done a double doubling!!) I guess I'm just tired. I never was good at maths anyway.

[halcyondream]

Salaam JC,

Thank you for restoring my sanity

And I definitely meant squared... not doubled

[Osman]

I'm not so clever after all :frownhead

[Osman]

Salaams,

Q. What can run but can't walk?

Salaam Osman,

Why do you say you aren't so clever?


Anyhoo,


A. Erm, lots of things... your nose, water etc.

The man who invented it doesn't want it. The man who bought it doesn't need it. The man who needs it doesn't know it. What is it?

[Osman]

A. A coffin!
