AlastairE Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 Let's kick off a 'who/what am I?' FOH game In the spirit of the forum, it'll be Cuba/Cuban Cigar based. How it works: One person (I'll start ) proposes a riddle (to which they know the answer) on this thread. Guesses can come in from anyone on the forum, and the first person to correctly answer will then get a chance to ask their own riddle. If it's too hard, and unsuccessful answers are coming in too frequently, you can ask YES/NO questions which will be confirmed by the original poster. Sounds fun? Yeah, I thought so 1
AlastairE Posted October 20, 2014 Author Posted October 20, 2014 You can trace my name back to the time of Napoleon. My namesake sought vengeance on 3, and my motif has a distinct affiliation to the number 3. I share a visual link to a NFC NFL team. Who/what am I? A nice easy one to start off with
AlastairE Posted October 20, 2014 Author Posted October 20, 2014 Montecristo? Winner winner chicken dinner! I am indeed Montecristo! Was that too easy? Did you get all the links relatively easily, or was I off the mark? By the way, your turn now mate

Onelove Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 Great for the first one, links were good, familiar with the book and cigar motif, but Australian so had to check NFL logo. Might have to leave the torch with you though as I'm on the clock still for the next few hours. I'll try to come up with a good one in the hopes of solving another

First to post one, it's their turn Cuban cigar/Cuba based only MIKA
cdfarrar Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 Because Cuban cigars cannot be entirely smoked, a hobo who collects Cuban cigar butts can make a cigar to smoke out of every 5 butts that he finds. Today, he has collected 25 cigar butts. How many Cuban cigars will he be able to smoke?

cdfarrar Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 6 is correct ~ he makes 5 originals from the 25 butts he found, and after he smokes them he has 5 butts left for another cigar.
cdfarrar Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 This is kinda lame but here we go.... You cut it...and with a good draw...you smoke it...you don't want it to get wet at the end...you don't want to stub it...a good one will put you in the hole...what is it?…

TheFullMontecristo Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 This doesn't follow the format exactly but all I could come up with. Three men check into a Hacienda in Havana, the manager charges them $30 for the hacienda which has three rooms. The men settle in drinking rum and smoking cigars and after a few moments the manager realizes his mistake, he over charged the three men, the hacienda rate was only $25. He sends for the bellhop to return the $5 to the three men. On his way to the hacienda the bellhop realizes that he can't split $5 between 3 men so he decides to give each man $1 and pocket the remaining $2 as a tip. The bellman returns the $1 to each man. In the three mens minds they each paid $9 for the hacienda, or a total of $27, include the $2 tip the bellhop kept and that equals $29, what happened to the other dollar?
garbandz Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 each man actually spent $9.33.3 on the room,equalling 28.00. who knows what goes on in the minds of men..........

The Hacienda is $25 plus $2 tip, hence the total is $27.
potpest Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 They all only spent 9, however $8.33 was on the room and $0.66 on the tip, only in their minds was the whole 9 for the room. The $2 needs to be taken away from the 27 for the price of the room then the $2 tip and $3 change added.
AlastairE Posted October 21, 2014 Author Posted October 21, 2014 Who was correct? This doesn't follow the format exactly but all I could come up with.

Fuzz AI Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 None of these answers are correct. No manager in their right mind would give back an extra $5! 1
PigFish Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 I have worked in many industries over thousands of years. I am certainly low tech, but work on the ‘cutting edge.’ I am married and even have a pet. I am a legend in the cigar community for my accomplishments as well as my good taste. Who am I?
