Tuesday Riddle! Solve it and win a copy of The Arrival

March 29, 2011 by Nicole 13 Comments

Okay I’m in a state of shock right now… Seriously I’m speechless and that happens rarely people..
I got sent a tweet saying
SARARUEFORREAL @Dmslinadrtydrss – I’m totally gonna download ur book to my iPad 🙂
Which made my jaw hit the floor and I replied
@SARARUEFORREAL …*gulp* … okay I know this says Sara Rue for real but is it!?!? IS it???!!! *cue hyperventilating*
And then I got this direct message
Yep – my fiancé saw some or ur tweets about the book. I have a shoot this week but plan to start reading it after things calm down a bit 🙂
Direct message sent by Sara Rue (@SARARUEFORREAL) to you (@DmslinaDrtyDrss) on Mar 29, 7:19 PM.
So I meant to say stuff on this blog but I can honestly say it’s totally gone out of my head.. I’m swinging between extreme delight and the urge to squeal like a 16yr old (..okay I may have indulged myself there…) and utter terror she’ll hate it… Actually no that’s kinda behind the stunned mullet expression at the moment.
Here’s the riddle
You have a barrel of oil, and you need to measure out just one gallon. How do you do this if you only have a three-gallon container and a five-gallon container?

Take care all!
Nic

    Cool you got a tweet from Sara!

    I have heard the answer to this riddle before. So you'd think it would only be sporting of me to disqualify myself. Only I can't REMEMBER the answer, so here I am stumped.

    oh oh oh I know this one!

    You fill the 3 gallon, then pour it into the 5 gallon. Then fill the 3 again, pour into the 5 until it is full (two more gallons) which leaves you with ONE gallon in the 3 container!

    Awesome tweeting experience. I have yet to really get into the tweeting world. Great to see it did something that made you smile 🙂

    Now, see, the version I heard was you had to measure out FOUR gallons using a 3 and a 5 gallon container. 🙂 Congrats to Jenni!
