C starts with 4 bottles/foods and as he receives the 2 bottles from A he has 4 bottles for the remaining 4 days.

Correct in answer and reasoning. Lay a puzzle on us.

Yes, while you were typing Billi was submitting his answer. I hate when that happens to me.

Well everyone types their answers in whilst I am sleeping and then when I wake up it is all over! *sigh*

I have an interesting question, just as fill-in until Billi gives us one.. It's something that I just learned myself.

What do "I" (me, Stitchawl) have in common with ALL these people?

Ron Rifkin (actor)
Telly Sevalas (actor)
Fred Silverman (Movie and TV Producer
Paul Simon (singer)
Jerry Springer (Talk show host)
Marty Ingels (Comedian)
Bob Keeshan (TV's 'Capt.Kangaroo
Michael Landon (actor)
Burt Bacharach (song writer)
Art Buchwald (writer)
Robert Chartoff (Movie producer 'Rocky' films)
Ray Danton (actor)
Geraldine Ferraro (Vice Presidential Nominee)

There were a LOT more names of people famous in their own fields but this group tends to be world famous...

What do we all have in common?

Sorry for the delay and thanks for asking a new question.

Born in the same area? Being artists?

Bilbo1967 · 06-11-2012, 03:41 AM

All changed their name?

SneakySnake · 06-11-2012, 04:50 AM

Jewish?

I didn't. It says Stitchawl on my birth certificate.

Billi has been the closest. Orlok... the most original!
Another hour or two and I'll post the answer so Billi can post the proper question.

What do I have in common with all of these people?

Stitchawl

Hamlet53 · 06-11-2012, 07:42 AM

They all immigrated to the US? Never mind. I checked one of the names and this is wrong.

orlok · 06-11-2012, 07:45 AM

Well I know that Joey Ramone suffered from OCD?

Stitchawl · 06-11-2012, 09:35 AM

Well, good guesses, one and all, and a guess it would have to be.

The correct relationship is... we all went to the same high school!

Well, except for Telly Sevalas, but he taught there for several years before becoming an actor! Going back into the mid-'40's everyone on this list, including me, attended the same high school in New York City. Simone and Garfunkel, a few years ahead of me, were in my older brother's classes.

:Whistle: We sing of our deep devotion to the school of the Blue and the White!
To halls of learning that will lead us on the path that will lead to the light!,....

Goodnight all!

Wow! Impressiv!

Some mathematics (as long as Stitchawl is sleeping)

A miller has nine sacks of flour that each has a number at it and that are standing at the wall in this order
7-2 8-1 9 6-3 4-5
The miller says: "Mark you, that there be single sacks on the outside, pairs next unto them, and three together in the middle thereof. It does so happen that if we do multiply the pair, 28, by the single one, 7, the answer is 196, which is the number shown by the sacks in the middle. Yet it is not true that the other pair, 34, when so multiplied by its neighbour, 5, will also make 196. Wherefore I do beg you, to place anew the nine sacks with as little trouble as possible that each pair when thus multiplied by its single neighbour shall make the number in the middle."
Can you help the miller?
