As if your postcount matters anything to begin with - it is the quality and not the quantity which we respond to here at GameBanshee.
And if you post to reach some landmark count, I'm sure you'll often find yourself being bumped back down because moderators often delete senseless spam.

#5 - Please do not spam. We are more lenient on spam in the Speak Your Mind forum, but excessive amounts will not be tolerated.

Take one cigarrette and throw it in the water to make the boat lighter, thusly lighting the other cig. That it?

But....(nitpicking time :D )
You are in a boat in the middle of a river. You have 2 cigarettes and have to light any one cigarette. You don't have anything else with you in the boat. How will you do it?
Have to light something isn't the same as making something lighter - at least not from my (limited) knowlegde of the english language.
Furthermore - the second cigaret has not gotten any lighter by reducing the total weight in the boat (tossing out the second cigaret). It still has the same weight :D

:p

There you go. :)
A long, long time ago, two Egyptian camel drivers were fighting for the hand of the daughter of the sheik of Abbudzjabbu. The sheik, who liked neither of these men to become the future husband of his daughter, came up with a clever plan: a race would determine who of the two men would be allowed to marry his daughter. And so the sheik organized a camel race. Both camel drivers had to travel from Cairo to Abbudzjabbu, and the one whose camel would arrive last in Abbudzjabbu, would be allowed to marry the sheik's daughter.
The two camel drivers, realizing that this could become a rather lengthy expedition, finally decided to consult the Wise Man of their village. Arrived there, they explained him the situation, upon which the Wise Man raised his cane and spoke four wise words. Relieved, the two camel drivers left his tent: they were ready for the contest!

Which 4 wise words did the Wise Man speak?

It's always 1 to 6,
it's always 15 to 20,
it's always 5,
but it's never 21,
unless it's flying.

What is it??

Hint 1 - A small item with 6 faces...some calculation when you're considering lines 2 and 4.
Hint 2 - Flying while being tossed usually.
