This was created by someone who posts on another forum I frequent. Anyone
want to have a bash at it. I'm not posting my idea on the solution right
away, cause that seems kinda pointless.
"Suppose for some reason that the entire population of humans is nearing
extinction. There are 4 humans left alive, all unrelated to each other. 2
males, and 2 females, all 18 years old. They are told to repopulate the
planet without any inbreeding. For the sake of morality, step family (step
siblings, parents, grandparents, great grandparents, children,
grandchildren, great grandchildren, cousins, nephews, nieces, etc.) cannot
breed together.
-Each male and female will be fertile until they are 37.
-A man can only have children with each woman two seperate times (So, a man
and a woman will have a maximum of 4 children with each other).
-Whenever a woman gets pregnant and has children, it will always be twins
and they will be a boy and a girl.
-When a child reaches 18 years of age, they will have their first children.
They will have their second children when they reach 36 years of age.
-People die at the age of 73.
Using this information, answer the following:
[1] How many generations can these 2 families live for until there are no
more possible unrelated combinations of males and females able to produce?
[2] How many people will have been alive after everyone dies out?
[3] What will have been the most people alive at one time?
[4] How many years will these people survive for?" ____________________

Well done Dolo, actually the answer to number three was "weeble fish", but
it was a damn good attempt nonetheless.
Next one:
How much wood, would a wood chuck chuck, if a wood chuck, could chuck wood? ____________________

>__> well the first one totally tricked me... and here i was trying to make
time to calculate the answer. geesh.
personally i have to agree with MRD the most ^.^
and i would think that a woodchuck would chuck as much as he could if a
woodchuck could chuck wood. but given the context of this thread i am
probably wrong. and canadian woodchucks have ALWAYS been eco-conscious ^.^
yay canada!

| *lol* The first brain teaser was real, and I killed myself trying to work
the answer out, still dunno if I got it right or not. That's what happens
when you try to solve a stoner's brain teaser - they blooming well bugger
off and leave you with no answer! Anyhow, I figured that I may as well give
up on getting serious answers to it, so went the fun route instead! ____________________
