**diutuartina** · 12-14-2006, 12:23 AM

Theres ONE HUNDRED houses on a street.

How many of them have a NINE on the door?

(Did this at work and a surprising amount had to write it all down to get the answer)

**sStevenRitziI** · 12-14-2006, 12:24 AM

Quick guess, 19 houses?

**agrismhig** · 12-14-2006, 12:25 AM

19? Not writing down, honest. Gave it 5 secs thought.

Also depends on how many Germans live there. Think Spike Milligan.

**itititit** · 12-14-2006, 12:26 AM

0, 10 or 1.. depending on the trickiness of the question.

**moredasers** · 12-14-2006, 12:26 AM

Eleven

**marketheal** · 12-14-2006, 12:27 AM

Eleven isn't it?

One for each tens place including 0 (ie. 09), and one for 99.

19? Am I dumb?

I'm sorry, are you saying none of my randomly selected numbers are correct?? I'm astonished.

**diutuartina** · 12-14-2006, 12:34 AM

Ruzhyo - It's not a trick question

**Sx1qBli0** · 12-14-2006, 12:37 AM

If you are counting the sixes as well it's a trick question...

That'd be 38.

**WaydayTew** · 12-14-2006, 12:39 AM

Well if you mean how many houses have a 9 on their house number it's 19.

If you mean how many 9's are on the street then it's 20.

**cepAceryTem** · 12-14-2006, 12:42 AM

4372

72 of them are split level apartments and one is a hotel.

**diutuartina** · 12-14-2006, 12:44 AM

Well if you mean how many houses have a 9 on their house number it's 19.

If you mean how many 9's are on the street then it's 20.

Ahhhh an educated man [thumbup]

Well done.

I was looking for 20.

9, 19, 29, 39, 49, 59, 69, 79, 89, 99 (2), 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98

Answer = 20

**sStevenRitziI** · 12-14-2006, 12:48 AM

The way you worded it, I got it right.

**fd8IIys2** · 12-14-2006, 12:50 AM

you said how many houses have a 9 on the door not how many 9s there are in the street!

**diutuartina** · 12-14-2006, 12:55 AM

you said how many houses have a 9 on the door not how many 9s there are in the street!

Didnt wanna make it too easy [rofl]

**Farson** · 12-14-2006, 12:59 AM

How many of them have a NINE on the door?

You didn't ask how many nine's there are. You said how many of them have a nine on their door. It's 19 not 20.

...or if you count 6's as being upside down 9's, then it's 36:

06, 09, 16, 19, 26, 29, 36, 39, 46, 49, 56, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 76, 79, 86, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99
