Or are they all married and therefore not single?

Very good.

That's a bit like the one about the plane load of homeless that crashed exactly on the US/Canadian border.
 Which side of the border would they bury the survivors?

Well done Chuck  :thumbsup. Yep they were all married.

FF's one -  you don't bury survivors  ;)

Correct FF  :)



Once upon a time a farmer went to market and purchased a fox, a goose, and a bag of beans. On his way home, the farmer came to the bank of a river and hired a boat. But in crossing the river by boat, the farmer could carry only himself and a single one of his purchases - the fox, the goose, or the bag of the beans.

If left alone, the fox would eat the goose, and the goose would eat the beans.

The farmer's challenge was to carry himself and his purchases to the far bank of the river, leaving each purchase intact. How did he do it?

Took the goose across first.
Went back and got the fox.
Took the goose back with him.
Left the goose and took the beans across.
Went back for the goose.

That would be silence



A group of ten people are being photographed.

The photographer places them into ten different positions.

He continues to shuffle them until he has taken pictures of the ten persons in all possible groupings.

Question : How many pictures will he take?

Assuming each person is distinguishable  ;)

10 x 9 x 8 x 7 ..... x 2 x 1 = 10! = 3628800 pictures
