Riddle Me This

[T-Bone]

I agree with the Bloke but I should say that someone who feel from a plane in a desert would likely be under several feet of sand withing two months

 

[Traxata]

Any particular desert? Because... depending on which one would mean some form of animal is responsible

Might not be a desert with much sand

Take this part of death valley for example:

 

[Bradstreet]

Yet no one has crossed the dessert for 3 months.
What happened?

This one's easy. There was a no-access zone around the apple turnover, but the desert was a popular hiking spot with a large elephant population.

 

[Huung]

Bradstreet was close... but yes, it was Bloke that got it

He had indeed fallen from a plane, and his parachute had failed him.

So, over to Thatbloke

 

[BiG D]

Hey, would the plane not have crossed the desert?

 

[Huung]

The plane was failing, he bailed out

A Maths question:

A man is walking at a steady pace of 4 km/h, and wants to walk to a place 16 km away.

How long will it take him to arrive at his destination if he can only walk half of the remaining distance before taking a 15-minute break each time?

 

[elDiablo]

Forever.

Edit: Some explanation. He will walk n/2 distance before taking a break. n starts at 16km, so will walk 8 before needing a break. Then he will walk 4km before needing a break. This will continue forever, as the distance he has to travel will always be halved before he needs a rest.

On a fine sunny day a ship was in the harbor. All of a sudden the ship began to sink. There was no storm and nothing wrong with the ship yet it sank right in front of the spectators eyes.

What caused the ship to sink?

 

[Traxata]

Quicksand.

 

[thatbloke]

The tide turning.

 

[BiG D]

It was a SPACESHIP!

 

[waterproofbob]

a submarine

 

[elDiablo]

bob wins!

 

[thatbloke]

Ship!=Submarine.

 

[waterproofbob]

Errrr anyone else want a go I can't be arsed to think of one.

Also a ship is defined as
A ship is a vessel that floats on water.
So a submarine can be classed as a ship.

 

[elDiablo]

Ship!=Submarine.

Link.

A submarine is a watercraft capable of independent operation below water.

"Most watercraft would be described as either a ship or a boat."

Edit: More wiki proof!

A number of large vessels are traditionally referred to as boats. Submarines are a prime example.
