Quick puzzles:  riddles, brain teasers and maths logic questions.

How it works
   
The puzzle poster acknowledges the first person with the correct answer, who then gets the opportunity to post the next puzzle.

What 4 days of the week start with T?

[toulouse]

today, tomorrow, Tuesday and Thursday

[craigski]

If you include the Two days at The weekend, most days start with a 'T', unless you have a preference for Coffee of course.

Toulouse wins.  \o/
Your opportunity to post the next teaser.

[toulouse]

Hey thanks Kitz, I never usually win this type of thing.

Anyway, here is my puzzle :

What king can you make if you take
    the head of a lamb
    the middle of a pig
    the hind of a buffalo
and the tail of a dragon

[4candles]

A lion?

[toulouse]

4candles has cracked it. Was that a little bit too easy ?

[kitz]

No, not at all.  The puzzle was good.     
It had me thinking for a little while and had to read it a few times, before I came to the same solution as 4candles.
I suppose I should have typed in my answer also was a lion, but I didn't want to dominate the thread.
 
It's not meant to be really hard.  It's more about having a bit of light heated fun that engages the brain cells as a bonus.
I like doing little brain teasers such as these

[toulouse]

Thanks once again Kitz. I think in the present circumstances we could all do with a little of that.

[4candles]

Was that a little bit too easy ?

No, not really, though it helped that with all the animals in the question, the 'king' of animals soon came to mind, and I've always liked crosswords and other forms of wordplay.

Having said that, I'm going to set a number puzzle!

1   1   1   =   6   (That's three ones, not one hundred and eleven)

Make the above equation correct by adding some common arithmetic notation to the left side.

[kitz]

Struggling a wee bit with this one, nearest I can get is 7 :/

[broadstairs]

 (1+1+1)! =6

Stuart

[4candles]

Yes! Stuart has cracked it. 

[kitz]

d'oh.  factorials! 
I'd actually started to type that I couldnt even guess at the last time I used a factorial, probably not since I was at school. 
Then I remembered that I had successfully completed some puzzle or other a few years ago involving factorials ago.   
I was obviously more alert then 

Good puzzle and well done Stuart.  Your go
