You want to build a stone wall around your 12'x20' garden. If the bricks are 6" high & 6" wide and 1' long. How many bricks will you need to make a wall 6" wide & 4' tall ?
So, let's pretend you can build a stone wall out of brick... just for fun. The answer would be 512 bricks. Of course it would be a tiny bit higher than 4 feet as there is cement between each brick. You can give me my prize when I arrive on Tuesday.
Jessica would be right if the headng of the post said 'Math Problem' however it says 'Riddle' therefore she loses points and is immediately disqualified from the contest. Besides which, my prize won't cost Shannon a cent ;)
I was also going to make a comment about Jessica having too much time on her hands to bother figuring it out, but of course I had to check her answer. Guess that makes me just as pathetic.
YOU CAN'T BUILD A STONE WALL WITH BRICKS BUT A BRICK WALL 6" WIDE X 4' TALL REQUIRES 8 BRICKS...UNLESS YOU WANTED TO BUILD ON THE LENGTH, THEN YOU'D ONLY NEED 4.
LET US KNOW IF CRAIG WINS, WE'LL GO TO A SHOW...AND TAKE THE BOYS
Now that I know that this post will no longer draw any attention, I want to take the time to say YOU SUCK CRAIG!!! Of course my math is right, and although it is called a riddle, anything involving math and my sister is a riddle. How long have you been married? You haven't figured this out? When I get there in a day and a half I'm going to go out and buy 512 bricks (that look like stone) and build a new house for your enormous ego. That said, I love you and look forward to seeing you at about 6pm on Tuesday night.

Last time I checked, you can't build a stone wall out of brick :)
Yay, I think I got one without even Googling it. What's my prize, what's my prize ;)
