A logic problem?

[silverfoxcc]

Just seen this on another forum. I cannot make anything of it


Tom and Mary go shopping,tom has no money no credit cards/debit/ nothing his pockets are empty.He does not enter any shops but waits outside.

Mary does all the shopping and Mary carries all the shopping. Tom carries all the other shopping.

So what does Tom have as regards all the other shopping.?

[chibbard]

I'd guess he has Mary's debt!!

Nothing.

Mary's got it all.

ps Tom's a lazy workshy bd, and if I was Mary I'd kick him in the bks.

Either
He has everything they bought before he was pickpocketed.
or
He's a chauffeur and carries what she bought earlier

He earns tips like any good waiter should. He then gets his Mrs to buy him beer with his earnings. He carries this home?

[backwoodsman]

He already bought his shopping, thus spending all his money.

[MoelyCrio]

If Mary carries all the shopping then there can be none left for anybody else.

[JagerT]

Toms a car ,his pockets are door pockets ?

Just checked to original site

Backwoodsman is correct......thanks

[ManFromDelmonte]

That's not a proper logic problem as there are loads of viable right answers.

He could have had an Ocado delivery to the side of the road which he carried home etc.

In short, it's bks and I'm annoyed.

Preferred JagerT's one, that's lateral thinking. Tweaking the question slightly it could be made a cracking logic question with that as an answer.
To have just run out of money is a bit lame really.
Love these sorts of puzzles. There's a great one about which switch does which light bulb and another about which colour hats are worn but I can't bloody remember them!!

Is that the original wording of the question? If so it's really badly worded, how can he "go" shopping without cash, but already be carrying what he spent all his money on? If I go shopping I don't walk around with what I bought last week...

Yeah, it's the worst example of a logic based question I've ever seen

You seem to know, why didn't you post it?

I would but a quick Google search throws up nothing, I don't know exactly what I'm looking for.

Hi All can I put before you a puzzle this is not a trick question only read what is written as regards clues.

Tom and Mary go shopping,tom has no money no credit cards/debit/ nothing his pockets are empty.He does not enter any shops but waits outside.

Mary does all the shopping and Mary carries all the shopping. Tom carries all the other shopping.

So what does Tom have as regards all the other shopping.



Apart from the bit between Hi...and...Clues nothing hasbeen missed out. So Can i laugh at you please?

Not really as its a piss poor logic problem. When you originally said 'you couldn't make anything of it' we didn't (but should have twigged) that at that point you knew the answer and still didn't get it!!!!
Well no one gets it. It's crap. Now fk off and annoy someone else please.
