Ok all you smartie pants’es...especially you Jolley Roger 
He're some use for an engineer for ya. answer me these tough life challenges.
I used these THIS WEEK in a brainstorm session I organized with my team. it got us into the creative thinking mode needed for the assignment
keep in mind, I found these on a site and had to determine the answers first myself, as they did not give the answers.
here you go, the first of many, we’ll see just how smart you are….
An Arab sheikh is old and must will his fortune to one of his two sons. He makes a proposition. His two sons will ride their camels in a race, and whichever camel crosses the finish line last will win the fortune for its owner. During the race, the two brothers wander aimlessly for days, neither willing to cross the finish line. In desperation, they ask a wise man for advice. He tells them something; then the brothers leap onto the camels and charge toward the finish line. What did the wise man say?

Rambunctious and Waterfoul go fishing (they take Ram's boat, since the 'Foul is broken. Again.)
Both catch some fish. Waterfoul looks at his catch and decides, since they were using Rambunctious' boat, that he'll give Ram on of his fish. Now Rambunctious has exactly twice as many fish as Waterfoul.
Rambunctious - nice guy that he is - says "no Mike, you keep your fish, and tell you what, I'll give you one of mine - that way we'll have exactly the same number, all even steven and what not. I can't help being generous, I'm just a great guy "
So, how many fish did Waterfoul and Rambunctious catch?
