Brain teaser

#1 Post by killer » Mon Dec 27, 2010 4:40 pm

After all the gluttony of the last few days it is probably time to get the grey cells working.

A woman is 26 years old. She is blonde with blue eyes. Her husband works making Aero Engines. She works in a local cheese shop. They have one child, a 3 year old girl. Both sets of parents live nearby. She goes to the gym twice a week, likes to drink white wine, and go to Spain for her holidays.
She is 5 feet tall (1.524 meters), wears size 5 shoes (US 6.5, Europe 37), and wears size 10 clothes (US 8, Europe 42).

The question is: What does she weigh?

Well done, ArtShapiro, you win a chunk of ripe, unpasteurised Cheddar.

Sadly, your government doen't allow the cheese to be imported so I hope you enjoyed the fun of taking part. :)

Those bizarre cryptics generally go in one eye and out the other, but that one is at least reasonably apparent.

The trick-question was obvious to me in an instant. But I have no idea about this problem.

"What yesterday was first called" isn't a question, it's an answer.
