For the fly question:

CO2, O2, H300, or even if they produce gold atoms somehow, the flys will always have the same mass if the jar is sealed no matter where they are. Conservation of mass. So no matter what they breathe or breathe out, the weight will be the same.

But the beating of the wings would cause greater force (momentarily anyway), which is another word for weight. So that could be an answer. But the backwards motion of the wings would cause a drop in force on the scale, so it's also a wrong answer.

Yes, yes we know.

Apparently you don't.

Re: brain benders...
 

If they flies go up, they are heavier. When they hang in the air, just as heavy. If they go down, they'r lighter. .

Re: brain benders...
 

here are some, see if you can get these, dont answer immediately if you know these, but if you FIGURE them out, answer!

1. The Elevator

A man lives on the 15th floor of an apartment block. Each day he leaves his apartment to go to work. He calls the elevator and, once inside, presses the ground floor button. When he returns from work he calls the elevator from the ground floor, enters the elevator and presses the 10th floor button. At the 10th floor he gets out of the elevator and walks the final 5 floors up to his apartment. Can you explain why?


2.The Mystery Field

You are out for a walk in the countryside. You come across a field in which you find a carrot, two pieces of coal and some stones. Explain what they are doing there.



3. Bad Driver

A man is driving through the city like a maniac. There is a woman in the back seat. The man stops the car and jumps out. When the man returns the woman is dead and there is a stranger in the car? Explain what happened.


4. The Hanged Man

A man is dead in a barn. He hanged himself. There is a pool of water at his feet and he is suspended 5 feet above the ground. The walls are too far away for him to have climbed, How did he hang himself?


5. Desert Woman

A woman is dead in the middle of the desert. She has a pack on her back. How did she die?


6. The Blind Beggar

A blind beggar had a brother who died. What relation was the blind beggar to the brother who died? (Brother is not the answer).

He propped himself on a block of ice.

The other ones just confuse the hell out of me.

A snowman melted. The coal, carrot, and stones were used to give him a nose, eyes, and buttons.

Re: brain benders...
 

yeah, i knew the countryside one... there was a snowman there.

the other ones are really good, i'll have to think about them for a while.

Re: brain benders...
 

the woman was pregnant, the man stopped the car at the hospital, went to get help and when he came back the baby was there and the mom was dead........i think lol, this is jus a guess :p

Re: brain benders...
 

2 and 4 have been answered before me, in the same way I would have answered them.

5. Desert Woman: She died of thirst :p. Maybe...

6. The Blind Beggar: Well, I don't really know what "beggar" means, and I'm too lazy to look for it, but I guess it's someone who begs, and that that person can be female. So I say the beggar is his sister.

Re: brain benders...
 

The guy's a dwarf. When he's on the 15th floor, he only needs to reach the ground floor button which is in easy reach. But when on the ground floor, he can only reach as high as the 10th floor button... 'tis all I could think of... :-o

Re: brain benders...
 

5. The only thing I could think of is that if she was skydiving and the parachute didn't open...She'd be dead with a pack on her back...
