A puzzle and some facts

I have a(n almost) fetish for logic puzzles, I love them, can’t get enough, so as I like to cruise around other blogs, I always find it fun to stop when someone offers up a quiz or something that is a little challenge (mentally of course). It’s always fun...mostly...

I’m sure you’ve all heard of the “What colour was the bear” puzzle. So here is something a little harder for you. This has always been one of my favourites. The names have not been changed to save the innocent.

Here goes:

Jack and Jill are found lying on the floor dead, they are surrounded by pools of water and broken glass. What happened?

Have a go and I’ll tell you the answer tomorrow.

Oh and the most exciting thing to happen to me today? I got lost looking for a valuers office, although I did stop and ask for directions (twice!). Don’t be too hard on me, I had a very busy day and I just walked straight past it (it was just a doorway and was kinda hidden before you judge my mental capacity…).

As the posts pretty short and I usually post oodles of words, here are some quirky facts (yeah, right!) to chunk it out a bit. The comments were already there and are not from me.

If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days you would have produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee.
(Hardly seems worth it.)

If you farted consistently for 6 years and 9 months, enough gas is produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb.
(Now that's more like it!)

The human heart creates enough pressure when it pumps out to the body to squirt blood 30 feet.
(Oh My God!)

A pig's orgasm lasts 30 minutes.
(In my next life, I want to be a pig.)

A cockroach will live nine days without its head before it starves to death.
(Creepy...I'm still not over the pig.)

Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour.
(Do not try this at home...... maybe at work.)

The male praying mantis cannot copulate while its head is attached to its body. The female initiates sex by ripping the male's head off.
("Honey, I'm home. What the....?!")

The flea can jump 350 times its body length. It's like a human jumping the length of a football field.
(30 minutes... lucky pig... can you imagine??)

The catfish has over 27,000 taste buds.
(What could be so tasty on the bottom of a pond?)

Some lions mate over 50 times a day.
(I still want to be a pig in my next life...quality over quantity)

Butterflies taste with their feet.
(Something I always wanted to know.)

Right-handed people live, on average, nine years longer than left-handed people.
(If you're ambidextrous, do you split the difference?)

Elephants are the only animals that cannot jump.
(OK, so that would be a good thing....)

A cat's urine glows under a black light.
(I wonder who was paid to figure that out?)

An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain.
(I know some people like that.)

Starfish have no brains.
(I know some people like that too.)

Polar bears are left-handed.
(If they switch, they'll live a lot longer.)

Humans and dolphins are the only species that have sex for pleasure.
(What about that pig??)
