alright, lets see if this is worth doing...

l'm posting a puzzle below and hopefully, the person who solves it, he/she will post the next one...and so on. here's the puzzle:

A man enjoys smoking cigarettes, but doesn’t have enough money to buy them. However, he realises that if he collects cigarette butts, he can make a cigarette from every 5 butts.

So, the man goes around and finds 25 butts. How many cigarettes can he enjoy as a result?

Five men go to church. There is a downpour of rain. Four men run to the church but get soaked. One man remain outside and stay dry. Why?

xueping, l think l know the answer but l wonder if l should let others have a go...mm...oh bugger it,

the man outside is either in a car or in a coffin. if its the latter, the four men are the pallbearers.

That is right. First four guys are undertakers and the fifth was a corpse in a coffin. In the hearse if you are purist. I prefer to beleive they dumped him by the roadside as they sought shelter.

Your turn.

that was a good guess...ok here goes....

A Petri dish hosts a healthy colony of bacteria. Once a minute every bacterium divides into two.
The colony was founded by a single cell at noon. At exactly 12:43 (43 minutes later) the Petri dish was half full.

At what time will the dish be full?

After some advanced cerebral activity that even one billion chimpanzee's brains cannot come up with, the answer is 1 minute later at exactly 12:44.
