Long Division
Trick
Trick brain teasers appear difficult at first, but they have a trick that makes them really easy.Trick
Divide the number of rolls in a bakers dozen, by the number of wheels on an eighteen wheeler, multiply it by the total number of your fingers and your toes, subtract the number of socks you're wearing, divided by the number of George Bush's that have been presidents and then multiply it by the number of times that Micheal Jordan has won the NBA Championship.
Hint
Micheal JordanAnswer
Zero. Anything multiplied by zero is zero. Michael Jordan has won many NBA Championships. Micheal Jordan hasn't.Hide Hint Show Hint Hide Answer Show Answer

good trick... i didn't catch it... but for someone who did.. how do we know that you're just not a perfect typer???
Excellent riddle!
Oh, and by the way you spelled George Bush wrong
Thats funny because you obviously are just a bad typer if you can't spell George Bush right.
Stupid riddle. You assume that everyone knows Michael Jordan.
It doesn't matter HOW you spell Michael, one player doesn't win an NBA championship, no matter how good he is - his team does.
Hey..... That's not fair. You guys always have spelling mistakes. I thought it was just another.
He is trying to trick us with his spelling mistakes!
i doant thinc its' fare iff u ecspekt uss too tel thee diferenc beetween tipos andd clus. (God teaser though).
Not bad, but if you're going to use spelling mistakes as clues you need to be extra careful that every thing else is spelled correctly. As it stands, the answer to your clue is an error because there were no Geroge Bush presidents so we are forced to divide by 0 which can't be done.
That was a good !! I was wondering when I got to that sock question how U would get everyone's answer 2 B the same.

-ahem- acually there have been 2 george bush presidents...
well i'd already hit zero given that i wasn't wearing any socks, but given that i have no idea how many times any basketballer has won anything (for that matter i have no idea how many players in most sports have won anything), i was never going to have a clue.
to be honest, i wasn't even entirely sure what your question was...

My husband's name is Michael yet his grandmother constantly spells it Micheal so I completely overlooked that
Got it easily but a good one though.
I thought that the answer was the fact that there was no question in the teaser.
"-ahem- acually there have been 2 george bush presidents..."
Yeah, George, but not Geroge
Great teaser! It's tricky because I usually overlook spelling errors
