Three Boxes

Post by GunnyGene » Wed Nov 08, 2023 1:31 pm

Each containing a handgun. One box holds a S&W 60-10. One holds a 1911 .45. One holds a Glock 34. Can you guess which box contains which gun (Left, Middle, Right)?

I'm going along with the majority. 1911, s&w, and a clock. ;) :lol:

There are 6 possible permutations (arrangements) in this game. 1 chance in 6 of getting it right. Mags got it right. Don't play poker with Mags. ;)

Thanks for playing. :D

:D I would have gotten the 1911 right, but reversed the glock and the smith.
You can tell a lot about the character of a man...
by the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.

I don't look back at the things I can no longer do, I just look forward to the things I still can.

Late to the party but I would have agreed with the above. Nice trio you have there and nice boxes too.

Thanks. I can only take credit for one of the boxes. I made the one on the left (Bubinga and Cocobolo), originally as a gift for my wife. The other two were purchased many years ago by her, I just repurposed them.

Here was my rationale. S&W to me is a big revolver and likely in the biggest box on the left. Glock is slightly smaller than a 1911, so that put the Glock in smallest box in the middle and the 1911 in the 1911 looking box on the right. Oh and I usually don't loose too often at amateur poker. :mrgreen:

That's a relief. I was concerned that you might have hacked into my computer. ;) :lol:
