  • Can you answer this Math question and save Indiana Jones?

    Indiana Jones needs to cross a flimsy rope bridge over a mile long gorge. It is so dark that it is impossible to cross the bridge without a flashlight. Furthermore, the bridge is so weak that can only support the weight of two people. The party has just one flashlight, which has a weak beam, so whenever two people cross they are constrained to walk together, at the speed of the slower person. Indiana Jones can cross the bridge in 5 minutes. His girlfriend can cross in 10 minutes. His father needs 20 minutes, and his father’s friend needs 25 minutes. They need to get everyone safely in one hour to escape the bad guys. Can they do it?

  • Can you figure out this math problem?

    At a garage sale a man sells two identical antique chairs for $135 each. Instead of being happy he grumbles to his neighbor that that he made a 25% profit on one but a 25% loss on the other. The neighbor points out that a least the gain on one, balances out the loss on the other.

    Does the neighbor have it right? Did he break even? If not what was his loss?

  • How do I tell my friend I'm not buying the House???

    So my husband and I moved into this house a year ago, we were leasing it and we had told the people we were leasing from we wanted to buy, but our credit wasn't good enough. They said we could lease it while we tried to fix our credit and then when the year was up we could buy it. Well the year is almost up and in the process of all this we were able to obtain a loan, but it will take two months for everything to work out, but now its time to either renew the lease or buy the house. The problam is we found an awsome house for a better price, with more land that we love and our wanting to buy. How do I tell my friends (which is what my leasers have become) that we don't want to buy there house. We want to rent it for 2 more months, but am scared they won't let us. What do I do? AAAHHH

  • How long do we have left?

    What do you think, how long before the End? I'm a Christian and so when I say the End I mean when Jesus will come back, and this world goes through tribulation. I know we can not really predicte the time or the hour, but just wanted to know your thoughts on it.

  • Did you ever wonder what happens after this?

    I was born and raised in church, so I have always had a hard time understanding how people can go day today without even worring about the life after this one. Some people just go along and never go to church or practice any religon and have not a care in the world. So here is my question, is there any Christians out there that can tell me how it was before you were a Christian, did you ever think about God or have the desire to go to church. I really would like to understand this, I think it would help me to be a better witness. Thanks

  • Why are we not still evolving?

    I hear all about evolution this and that and how so many believe it. If it is true, why are we still not doing it. I don't see any animals in between evolving stages. I don't see half monkey men running around or animals walking out of the water. And if you say we don't eveolve anymore, then tell me why not. What changed to stop us from evolving.?

  • How close are we to the end?

    I asked a question 20 mins ago about why non-believers argue so much with christians, and I just checked it and have recieved 23 answers. I thought wow, then started to read them and was like whoa. I could feel the evil, confusion and out right hat ein the words. This just adds to my belief that we are in the end times and it won't be long. What do you think?

  • Why do non-believers in Christ always try to argue and change christians minds on what they believe?

    Everywhere you go people will debate all day on how it is stupid to be a christian and all this and that on how bad it is, but the thing is why do they care sooo much if they don't believe it anyways. I mean I'm a christian, an d I don't go around debating and talking crap about all these other religons, now I don't believe in them and I will tell you what I believe if you ask, but I cdon't attack them.
