If I told any of you guys about this, you're not eligible to play!

-----------

Using the following basic information, and asking Yes and No questions, lets see who can figure this out first.

A person is dead inside a room with 51 bicycles. what happened and why?

Post your questions below this post - remember only questions that can be answered yes or no.

The fastest any class had ever answered this question was 45 minutes. It was supposed to occupy the entire hour and usually the professor would tell everyone the correct answer several days later. She said it took a group of scientists and engineers 25 minutes to figure it out.

I answered it in 7 minutes after everyone else had asked everything they could think of and everyone was just sitting there in silence and puzzled. The professor looked at me and said, "Lance, do you have anything you'd like to say?"

It was the fastest anyone ever figured it out in the history of the school. (she said)

So start asking. You can ask anything you want as long as it can be answered yes or no. I'll try to check the board a couple times a day and answer your questions.

I think he was playing cards and slipped one out of the deck, leaving just 51, and pissed off the guy he was playing with! (Bicycle is the largest playing card company) (NT) -- Greg C., 21:46:22 05/05/03 Mon
