Joined 03 Apr '06 Moves 44348 Here's a cool puzzle:
Two fathers and two sons go hunting in the woods.
They each shot and killed a turkey.
When they got home, they only had three turkeys.
What happened?
And no, they didn't lose one in the woods.

Two fathers and two sons all play for the same 4 man chess team.
The fathers and sons won all their games but their team only scored 3 pts - how?
