2 more then that'll do for now!

What is 4 x 5 x the half of 2 x 50000 x the half of 8 x 65 x 9786 x 45320 x 9500 x the half of 30?



16431731316000000000000. Or 1.643173136 x 10^21


Ha was hoping someone would put that! Boyler was right for them all!


Woooooo!!!



please explain how you get 0 for this?

to get 0 when you multiply, one of the numbers must be 0, that is the only way to do it?

You are in a lifeboat, in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. After your Cruise Liner was overran by Pirates, you decided to jump ship. You had no time to collect any belongings; you have nothing but the clothes on your back. No wallet, no phone, no nothing. After about 5 hours, you notice that there are 2 cigarettes in the lifeboat. Being the avid smoker that you are, you want to smoke these instantaneously. Unfortunately, you have no matches, no lighter, no glasses to magnify the sun.
How do you light one cigarette?

There are 2 possible answers


Another one I've heard before (in a slightly different form) having grown up in the 60's and an avid watcher of the Batman TV show where the Riddler was a recurring character

But I'll bring it forward so it doesn't get lost.

Yes, it's an old riddle, but I have modified it myself to put it into a new context

The flare had been stolen from the lifeboat by the pirates to intimidate passengers, so no flare in the lifeboat. Sorry

I have no idea! Throw one into the water so you're a 'cigarette lighter' on the boat?

Well you're 100% correct on it

You throw one out, so you're a cigarette lighter, and you use the lighter to light it

I will give a spoiler for the 2nd one that I want:

It's a very old Cricket saying.

Oooooo being the cricket fan I am, I think I know this. Throw one in the air, and catch it. Catches win matches!

You are one of those people that puts pushpins in his map to show the places you have been,

Deep down inside you know you are going to have to visit the North Arctic ocean and the south Antarctic ocean one day.

You don't really want to go there, but you have to visit the four corners of the world to make your map complete.

There are many countries to which you've never been, and you do not plan to go there, but you must go to two spots in the North Arctic, and two spots in the South Antarctic.

Why?
