A change from jokes (and vigilantes' BS posts): an Enigma

We all need a good laugh.

Αh, yeah, that would be correct, but the number should have been 45 mins, I made a mistake there. Anyway, you got the key, so it's all cool.

In this case you start burning first rope from one end and second rope from both ends at the same time, and after second rope burns out - you just put the other end of the first rope on fire?
Uff. Nice thing... but the donkey's apples paralyzed our office completely :)) One lady even asked me if she could substitute apples with oranges, it made her thinking easier (in Cyprus) :)

She came back later with the answer 333 1/3.. and was very upset that the apples (oranges) could not be cut according to the terms :)

It is unbelievable. People left for lunch and are calling me from their mobiles with different questions or answers. Before that, hot argument arised in the office reception area about validity of the 334-th orange :D

I cannot resist the temptation to reproduce a small part of my colleagues' discussion.
- They are cheating! When the donkey starts the second ride with a load of a thousand apples he cannot eat that one dropped on the ground because in this case he will hold 1001 apples which is not allowed!
- Friend, have you ever seen a donkey eating? He does not pick up an apple with his hand and eat like you do.. He takes it with his mouth directly from the ground!
:D

:lol: They'll be off to the donkey sanctuary to physically try it out next... http://www.donkeycyprus.com/

P.S. I urge you all to sponsor a donkey, they do have a hard time of it in Cyprus... Image
