he walks down 12 steps and picks up a pebble
33 - 12 = 21
He takes one step up and tosses the pebble over his left shoulder
21 + 1 = 22
Now, he walks up the remaining steps three at a time which only takes him 9 paces
3 x 9 = 27; 27 + 22 = 49

Duh! I started off with x/2 when it should have been (x+1)/2!

So you can spell coke, joke, poke but how do you spell the white of an egg?
A person who picks up cigarette butts from the streets finds that he can roll a new cigarette from the tobacco of seven butts. One Saturday he picks up forty-nine butts and on the Sunday decides to smoke all the cigarettes he can make from them. How many cigarettes did he smoke?
Supposing you are captain of a ship and it has three red funnels and it leaves New York on a Tuesday and gets to Southampton on Saturday and on the return trip reaches New York on Thursday, what is the name of the captain of the ship.
A woman had triplets in July and twins in August - in the same year. How could that be possible?
A butcher is 5' 10". What does he weigh?
