I can see it now too. I don't think it was there before, was it?

1. Think of any number you like (but remember what it was!)
2. Multiply it by the number Arabesques composed by Debussy
3. Add to that the number of Symphonies composed by Joseph Haydn
4. Subtract from that the number of Symphonies composed by Tchaikovsky
5. Add to that the number of movements in Schubert's 'Unfinished' Symphony
6. Subtract from that the number of players in a string quartet
7. Divide that by the number of performers in Weber's Grand duo concertante
8. Subtract from that the number you first thought of
9. Think of a famous collection of pieces that connect with the number you have left
10. Who is the composer?

Is it by any chance the one below?...

J. S. Bach

I'm terribly sorry. I thought this was the bathroom. Then I put my glasses on.

If it takes one man with two buckets ten minutes to fill a bath, how long does it take two men with four buckets to fill the same bath?



No time at all. I didn't say the first two men took the plug out.

I think it should be 5 mins. It is twice as fast isn't it?
I am not good in math. I forgot because I never used it.

Why don't they just turn the taps on? No! I get it. The house was remodelled by the same cowboys who rebuilt this place after the fire.

I am glad there is an answer there (I don't understand it). I would not know how to solve that problem.

The best way would be to have a sense of humour.
