Answers to quizzes at end of newsletter
Last week we ended the series on county nicknames. However, our extensive team of researchers have managed to find some more gems from the late, great Micheál Ó Muircheartaigh!
(More) Sayings of Micheal:
“He boots the ball across the face of the goal. On an occasion like that you’d wonder what’s he carrying a hurley for…”
Dad Joke of the Week:
Q: What do you call someone with no body or no nose?
A: Nobody knows!
Seanfhocail na Seachtain:
“Moladh luath agus caineadh mall.”
“Let praise be early and criticism late.”
This or That:
Pick between the two items below and see if you’re right.
Who has more bones – a baby or an adult?
On This Day: On this day in 1960 nine Irish soldiers are killed in the Niemba Ambush in the Congo. This terrible event brought home to the Irish people just how dangerous service with the UN could be.
Brain Teaser:
There is a basket full of hats. Three are white and two are black. Three men, Tom, Tim, and Jim, each take a hat out of the basket and put it on their heads without seeing the hat they selected or the hats the other men selected. The men arrange themselves so Tom can see Tim and Jim’s hats, Tim can see Jim’s hat, and Jim can’t see anyone’s hat. Tom is asked what colour his hat is and he says he doesn’t know. Tim is asked the same question, and he also doesn’t know. Finally, Jim is asked the question, and he does know. What colour is his hat?
Answers to this week’s puzzles:
‘This or That’: Babies have approximately 60 more bones than adults, as some of their bones fuse together in childhood.
Brain Teaser: The hat is white. If Tom doesn’t know his hat colour then the other two men’s hats cannot be both black otherwise he would know his hat is white. When Tim doesn’t know his hat colour either, that means Jim’s hat could not be black otherwise Tim would have to know his hat was white based on Tom’s answer.
