Wait till it's dark and go through the door with the magnifying glass.

Let's try this one instead...
A man is trapped in a room. The room has only two possible exits: two doors. Through the first door there is a room constructed from magnifying glass. The blazing hot sun instantly fries anything or anyone that enters. Through the second door there is a fire-breathing dragon. How does the man escape?

Answer to
The weight Problem
If John weighs twice as much as Frank, and Hubert three times as much, dividing their total weight by six gives us Franks weight (think x + 2x + 3x = 720). 720 divided by 6 tells us that Frank weighs, 120 pounds, so John weighs 240 pounds and Hubert 360.Farmer I'm going to have to move you to the head of the class. You are right again.

The weight Problem
Frank weighs half as much as John, and Hubert weighs three times as much as Frank. Their combined weight is 720 pounds. How much does each man weigh?

Esther and Solomon ??? Just guesses. Been recently trying to learn the good book. Better stories in there than Harry Potter .Aye, Esther and the Song of Solomon, although Esther reveals God through God's providence, and Song of Solomon throught the picture of Christ in Solomon.
Aye about Potter!
God bless,

A boy was at a carnival and went to a booth where a man said to the boy, "If I write your exact weight on this piece of paper then you have to give me $50, but if I cannot, I will pay you $50."
The boy looked around and saw no scale so he agrees, thinking no matter what the carny writes he'll just say he weighs more or less.
In the end the boy ended up paying the man $50. How did the man win the bet?

A time when they’re green, a time when they’re brown,
But both of these times, cause me to frown.
But just in between, for a very short while,
They’re perfect and yellow, and cause me to smile!
What am I talking about here?

Still this is not what I'm looking for, it seems to me that I remember this from Algebra but I don't know if it is right, but I believe it is.

Um, I'll take a gander; not sure if it's what you're looking for though.
1 (third) + 1 (third) + 1 (third) = 1
Sounds good to me thats_for_shore, but there is still another answer, can anyone give it to me???
