So a man met a puma, a panther, a mountain lion, and a cougar while hiking in the Rockies of Colorado. He has a shotgun but only one shot loaded. By the time he fires and reloads, the animals will be on top of him. He only has time for a quick shot. Which does he fire at first?

Which does he fire at first?  The shotgun round, of course.  And hopefully that will scare away the animals.

Seeing as the above is answered, I will pose a new one. 

 

You are driving along the M25 in England. This is a circular road running around London. It has 4 lanes on either side, and the distance between the two outermost lanes is approximately 100m. 

 

Given that we drive on the left in Britain, and given a driver who always drives in the outermost lane, how much further would he travel driving the entire length of the road clockwise as opposed to anti-clockwise? 

 

(Hint, all information needed to answer is in the above text). 

 

 

If you think you have solved it, I ask you this. Did you look up the length of the road at any point? If you did, you are a time waster

 

 

 

Haha haha pumas, Panthers, and mount lions are all the same animal, so he shoots at the one which is whichever name he chooses

EDIT: and cougars

 

 

you may have just educated me today..

I guess you learn a new thing every day haha

Wait, it goes around London but the two outermost lanes are only 100m apart?

3.14 * 100 is indeed 314, which sounds a good guess.


But London is not a perfect circle, is it?


Okay a good one:

 

The ultra poor have me, the ultra rich need me, and you die if you eat me. What am I?

its educational for me aswell as not all those words in dutch mean the same animal :D

 

cougar and puma yes, "mountain lion" is a more generick term but usually related to cougar/puma. Panther on the other hand come from Asia >_>
