if a hen and a half lays an egg and a half in a day and a half ----how long does it take 12 hens to lay 12 eggs?

Well if slappy was wrong I'll give it a shot, I didn't figure it was worth the effort if he was correct

My answer 36 hours or a day and a half :elf:

I believe the original quote you are looking for is this one....

]Friar Barnadine: Thou hast committed--Barabas: Fornication? but that was in another country,

And besides, the wench is dead.

I believe the later reference you may be referring is Prufrock and Other Observations by T. S. Eliot

Gutenburg Project Link (to Novel)

Wikipedia Link (to T.S. Eliot) It appears to be his first novel.

Damn, this one took 10x as long to document nicely as it did to find..... Next?

You can google this one also...

Basically 2/3 eggs per day... (depending on how you read it..)

So... 36 sounds good to me.

to reword -- (makes it easy to visualize)

if a lady can have a baby in 9 months,

how long does it take 12 ladies to have 12 babies -- answer: 9 months.... so --

a day and a half is correct. prize of honor to FJRFencer.

To be honest I cheated, I did not Google, I asked my dog for the answer (she is omniscient after all) opesmiley:

if a lady can have a baby in 9 months,how long does it take 12 ladies to have 12 babies -- answer: 9 months....

Ok, Now I'm just confused. I had 12 days for this one. I need to talk to my dog again

ok now a slight twist:

if a hen and a half lays an egg in a day and a half ----

how long does it take 12 hens to lay 12 eggs?

A=Faith separates reason

B=Reason separates truth

C=Faith separates truth

Well done, Grasshopper. You have learned well and finally snatched the pebble from my hand. Go forth and spread the wisdom of speciousness and sophistry (not that it'll do any good... :blink: )

Correcto-mundo. The parody is by Hemingway in The Sun Also Rises. He has some guys talking, and when another comes up, one of them already at the table is introduced as a taxidermist, to which the "taxidermist" responds, "But that was in another country. And besides, all the animals are dead." :lol:
