who is it?

"but this mans fathers(point to pic)is my(Point to oneself)fathers son."

Carrie
If the man said "this MAN is my fathers son" then the answer would be himself but as he said "this MANS Father is my fathers son" then the piture must be of his own son.

to celebrate my fourth star i'll give it a go

this'll really test any problems with getting over to you what i'm trying to say sometimes

so i'll say it a bit at a time

we need a deck of cards with the kings and queens taken out

[tezz7628]

ja 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
jd 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
js 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
jc 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10


this is the plan we'll use for explanations
were ja is jack of aces etc
and the cards 1-10 of each suit

[tezz7628]

Start of with 1 and 2 going across......send 1 back and give flashlight to 10 and 5. They go across and give torch to 2. 2 comes back and 1 tags along for the return.

2+1+10+2+2=17mins!

numbers refer to the time they take to walk across

Nice one Jan.

Rumour used to have it that Microsoft used this, or similar problems, in interviews.

Ever thought of working for Microsoft? Or being a project manager?

Rainy day sorry i may seem daft but i still see it as himself, i too cannot explain any more, lets agree to differ, i am probably wrong any way.
LOL

Rainyday please look at Lesleys response she explains it so much better than us and makes it clear that the picture is of HIMSELF
I know this is right, i am going so loopy i will check with my dear old dad who told me this in the first instant and get him to find it again in his riddle book where he got it from when i first posted it.

Carrie, this is really getting a bit silly. I KNOW which book it comes from and I've still got it. It is supposed to be a riddle for 10-year olds. No matter how many times you (or anyone else) tell yourself to the contrary, the PHOTO IS THAT OF THE MAN'S SON and not of himself. If you still cannot figure it out after so many explanations, why not give-up and try something else?
