Here's the mystery:<br>
<br>
"A man went from Town A to Town B by train. In Town B, he saw someone<br>
who made him very happy. He took the same train back to Town A. When<br>
the train went into a tunnel, he threw himself from the train and died."<br>
<br>
What happened? Solve the mystery by asking me only "yes" or "no" questions.<br>
<br>
I will be back online at 2PM, Singapore time. Good luck in solving the mystery!<br>

WangWenjie

OK, I want to play a game with you! I will tell you a mystery. You must<br>
solve the mystery, but you can only do so by asking "yes" or "no"<br>
questions. You cannot ask "where", "when", "why", etc, only questions<br>
that I can answer with "yes" or "no". Do you want to play?

WangWenjie

Mr Bush was so enraged he kicked his desk and threw some<br>
books on the floor!<br>
<br>
"You idiot! It's so simple! Listen: your mother has a<br>
child, your father has a child, but it's not your sister<br>
or brother. It's not Colin Powell! It's Tony Blair!"<br>

WangWenjie

Finally, I'm finished. Do you understand the joke?

某某某

and i heard another version!<br>
it's really funny!

WangWenjie

OK, I had better return to my work now. Thank you for<br>
chatting. I hope you enjoyed solving the mystery <br>
and reading the joke. I hope everyone has a great weekend.<br>
Bye!

某某某

thank u for giving us a funny afternoon!<br>
bye!

WangWenjie

Very good guess, Before/After!<br>
<br>
So Mr Bush returned to Washington and decided to use this riddle to test <br>
whether the people working for him were intelligent.<br>
<br>
He called Jessie Helms, Senator and Chairman of the Senate Foreign<br>
Relations Committee into his office.<br>
<br>

WangWenjie

Mr Bush: "Senator Helms, I want you to solve a riddle. Your mother has a<br>
child, your father has a child, but it's not your sister or brother. Who <br>
is it?"<br>
<br>
Mr Helms thought and thought. He scratched his head and frowned. "Mr <br>
President, this is very difficult. Can you give me a few hours to <br>
think about this riddle?"<br>
<br>

WangWenjie

President Bush was very angry, since the riddle was so easy, and <br>
this Senator could not solve it quickly. <br>
<br>
Mr Bush: "You are a Senator and Chairman of the Foreign Relations<br>
Committee, but you cannot solve a simple riddle?!?"<br>
<br>
But Mr Bush agreed, and told Senator Helms to come back in the afternoon <br>
with the answer.<br>
said, "OK, fine

从前和以后

oh, that should be the end of the joke, right?<br>
<br>
Yeah, it's interesting.<br>
<br>

WangWenjie

Senator Helms quickly convened the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.<br>
The Senators thought and thought, and scratched their head, but could<br>
not think of an answer to the riddle.<br>
<br>
Finally, someone had a suggestion. "I know who we can call to help us!<br>
Secretary of State Colin Powell is very intelligent. Maybe he can help<br>
us!"

WangWenjie

So the Senators called Colin Powell, Secretary of State. "Mr Powell,<br>
we need your assistance. President Bush has given us a difficult<br>
riddle, and we must answer it. Can you help us?<br>
<br>
"Your mother has a child, your father has a child, but it's not<br>
your sister or brother. Who is it?"

某某某

it's longer,but very interesting, i am listening in real earnest!

WangWenjie

The Secretary of State was very angry! <br>
<br>
Mr Powell: "You idiot! You are Chairman of an important committee and<br>
you cannot answer a simple riddle? The answer is easy: it's me!"<br>
<br>
Senator Helms: "Thank you, Mr Powell. Goodbye."

WangWenjie

Senator Helms hurried back to the White House to tell Mr Bush<br>
the answer.<br>
<br>
Senator Helms: "Mr President, I know the answer!"<br>
<br>
Ms Before/After: What do you think Senator Helms said?

从前和以后

Am I right?

从前和以后

still not end?

WangWenjie

Mr Bush replied, "I agree with you, Your Majesty. Having intelligent<br>
people working for you is very important. But there's one thing<br>
I don't understand. How do you know if the people who are<br>
working for you are intelligent?"<br>
<br>
Mite: How do you think the Queen answered? (just take a guess)

某某某

i am coming.it looked i was late!

WangWenjie

Very good guess! <br>
<br>
The Queen answered, "It's easy to check. Here, I'll show you."<br>
<br>
She picked up the phone and called Tony Blair. "Good morning,<br>
Mr Prime Minister. I have a riddle for you. Please give me the answer."

WangWenjie

The Queen continued, "Prime Minister Blair, your mother has a child, <br>
your father has a child, but it's not your sister or brother? Who<br>
is it?"<br>
<br>
Mr Blair answered immediately. "It's me."<br>
