Brain Teasers
A-Hunting For Computers?
One day, Akl decided that she wanted a notebook, and went job-hunting. Akl finally found a job mowing lawns.
She earned $6 a week cutting lawns, and in no time flat she had all the money she needed to go notebook shopping.
She stopped at several stores and left each of them dissatisfied. It seemed that her perfect notebook was not to be found. She wanted to be able to use Paint in it, and she did not want an expensive one.
Eventually, she found one at a discount store for $2.50. How was this possible?

Hint
You shouldn't really need one... Just re-read it! =)Answer
She was buying a notebook. Not the laptop sort. Just a normal notebook. For some reason, she wouldn't buy the cheap $.50 ones, but that's another teaser.Hide Hint Show Hint Hide Answer Show Answer

stupid and easy. i thought she was looking for a laptop until i read the answere.
Way too easy...
tupacalypse88, if you thought she was looking for a laptop untill you looked at the answer then it wasnt easy was it
Great teaser, when I saw notebook, I just assumed it was the writing kind of notebook not a laptop probably because i dont know what a notebook laptop is But still great :]

plain bad
I know that this teaser was easy, but there is no need for you all to be swearing and saying that it is stupid. "Easy" is quite sufficient.
i thought it was a little wierd. cause i thought it was a regular notebook but then saw Paint so i thought it was a laptop but then saw $2.50 so i was like "huh????" very tricky cause their was like 2 tricks in one.
btw, u ppl shouldnt b cursing or being plain out mean, i u didnt like it say like "too easy" or dont say anything at all. remember "If you dont have anything nice to say, dont say anything at all!"

Your trick was worth it! I was re-thinking this one, most of the day, yesterday. Keep up the terrific work. Enjoy the Trick teasers.
Thank you.
I thought it was great! If you people don't have something nice to say, don't say it at all! Great job, ak!
Thanks lucky.
Really easy, but awesome! I thought it was a notebook computer because of the title, though.
Thanks for the Nice comments!
Way 2 Easy
yeah, i just assumed you were talking about the regular notebook, not the laptop one, and if u read it from that perspective, it is really confusing
Well, it's a bit obvious, but a good concept afterall.
Don't allow a few comments to get to you, akl. The hecklers will soon disappear and you will have more teasers created and enjoyed by other people. Keep up the Awesome work!
Thanks.
that was really easy
cute and sweet
Thank you.
Very easy, but still, enjoyable to find one I can actually do!!!
Thank you
Thank you
Thanks!
I didn't even think of computers....... I htought it was paper all along....maybe I am just crazy.

Nah, I'm sure you aren't!
By the way, to whoever submitted the correction to the word Paint: It is a proper noun because it is the name of a program in Windows. Would you make "Windows" a small w?

i think it was a very brilliant teaser of kourse!!!
Thank you very kindly.
It was easy but great!
Thanks!
why is "Paint" capitalized in the middle of a sentence when it's not a title? anyways, great teaser.
Thanks. Paint is the name of a Windows program on Windows computers. That is why.
this wuz really awesome!!! i liked that i could actually do it. at first i didnt get it but then it made sense.
just 1 thing, i didnt get why Paint would be in a normal notebook.
great teaser

I figured that the Paint tool in Windows could apply to a notebook because you can paint in a notebook as well as write.
Confused the hell outta me...i didnt even think of laptops...
...Thanks...?
I though she just wanted a normal computer and you can buy them fairly cheap Because... on most computers there is a program called Notebook And a program Paint If she made a picture on paint and copied and pasted into the notebook (program) it would therefore be correct.
I still like the answer though
Good one
I Really enjoyed it.
I am looking foward to seeing you post some more teasers
Thanks

No, thank you!
This was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too easy. Are we supposed to be idiots or something???
I've never even *heard* of a laptop being called a notebook
Really? Dell advertises them as "notebooks" quite a lot.
it was ok
i liked the paint part
i liked the paint part
i thought ppl were talking about labtops but then again why would she charge $6 for mowing a lawn to get a notebook? oh well i liked it :lol:p
I read it thinking that it was a regular paper notebook, so when I looked at the answer it seemed all too easy. You pretty much gave the answer away to someone who was reading from my perspective. Too Easy
I thought it was a paper notebook from the beginning, too, but unlike the person above me (^^^) I enjoyed it! I've never been good at writing teasers, so I'm amazed at how well everybody can write them! Write another one to enjoy and keep up the good work!
Oh.
haha.... nice..
at first i thought you were talkin about the paper kind of notebook. then you said Paint with a capital letter. so i thought laptop
then you said 2.50 so it was obvious you meant the paper one.
very good teaser. liked it.

That one was pretty easy.
It really didn't make sense to me, because while I was reading the teaser, I was thinking of the spiral notebooks... I didn't even think of computers! Good teaser though!
same as ^ computers didn't even pop into my mind even with the title
I first thought of the writing notebook, until I saw Paint capitalized. Then I was thinking, probably not. Good thinking I changed my mind again.
really easy
not very challenging at all
not very challenging at all
I thoought it was the non-laptop notebook, so it wasn't that hard. Good teaser though
How could she use Paint on a normal notebook? Do you mean painting on the notebook?
happy new years
happy new years
Sorry but this seemed kind of dumb to me.
But nice try
But nice try
Hah! EASY!
I knew that she was talking about the paper type notebook from the start.TOO EASY!
I first thought of a regular notebook and not a laptop, so the solution was obvious. Notebooks aren't VHS players. They're still around.
