They died of old age....gop_jeff said:A man is hiking up a snowy mountain, he comes across a cabin. Inside the cabin is a small fire and two dead men. How did they die? (They did not burn to death.)
(Note: I won't be on again until tomorrow. If you get this, just go ahead and post another question)
Comrade said:Not of thirst... they had plenty of snow to melt, and not of starvation or disease, since they had the energy to build and tend to a fire in the first place.
So I say they died of either smoke inhalation, or oxygen deprivation, or a combination of the two, due to the fire consuming all the oxygen in the low pressure atmosphere, within an enclosed space.
Comrade said:This is both an IQ and a history question.
DCCLIII
What does it mean? What is its significance?
no1tovote4 said:In Roman Numerals it is 753.
This would be the year of Christ's Birth in the old Roman Calendar. This would be 1 AD in today's current calendar.
The Romans referred their calendar to the date they attributed to the creation of the city of Rome. If Christ was born in 1 AD, then Christ was born in the year DCCLIII.
no1tovote4 said:You have been blindfolded and are drawing socks from a drawer one at a time. In the drawer there are 12 red socks, 11 white socks, 10 black socks, and 9 blue socks. How many socks must you draw to be sure you have all of at least one of the colors?
Comrade said:I concur. Go ahead and ask another one, you have some real zingers, and I keep missing my chance to answer them.
no1tovote4 said:Yup. Your turn.
gop_jeff said:I disagree. I say 34. It is possible to draw all 12 red socks, 11 white socks, 10 black socks, for a total of 33, without drawing a blue one. But sock #34 would then be blue.
Comrade said:488.

MissileMan said:You're misreading the question. How many do you have to pull to be guaranteed to have all of at least one color?
You can have 11 red, 10 white, 9 black, and 8 blue for a total of 38 where you are missing one of each color. The 39th sock would complete any of the four colors.
