sakuragirl Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 I thought this might be some fun to see what answers we get from some brainteasers. All clean of course. " As a burglar reaches for something on the mantle, he accidentally knocks over a clock. It falls the the floor, breaks and stops. The next morning, however, police aren't able to determine what time the robbery took place. Why not?" lets see what we have and ill give you all the answer soon...Would love to hear some of yours as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sakuragirl Posted February 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 It was an electric clock.Absolutely correct Try this one"Robbie goes into a restaurant and orders and deli sandwich and a cola for lunch. Afterward, he pays his bill, tips his waitress and goes outside. He slowly takes in his surroundings. The sky is black and the city streets are deserted. What happened?"

Maxel Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 On the way to the door, Robbie was abducted by aliens who preformed genetic experiments using his organs and tissue. Then, using a complex procedure known as Sewembackupagain, they put Robbie back together, good as new and even fixed a problem with his right knee cap. When they were done, the deposited Robbie back where he was and erased his memory. The whole ordeal took roughly 10-11 hours, accounting for the apparent lapse in time between noon and night.
