How Did the Tractor Get to the Island?  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 92/100. gifana (2229)   ranked 1 out of 2 in logic & riddles 5 years ago

Explain how the tractor got there?
You are on an island in the middle of a lake. The lake is in a remote part of the country and there has never been a bridge connecting the island to the mainland.
Every day a tractor and wagon gives hay rides around the island. Puzzled as to how the tractor had gotten onto the island, you ask around and find out that the tractor was not transported to the island by boat or by air. Nor was it built on the island.

Here's one possibility, my lady. That island wasn't an island originally. Someone just drove it over when it was still connected by land. But subsequently, the low lying area around the current island got submerged so the island materialized and the tractor is left stranded.

What a poor tractor lol. :P

One of the two of you is close.....


myLot reputation of 96/100. lordwarwizard (10625)  5 years ago

Just spit out the answer, would ya?

I know my answer may not be what you are looking for, but it makes perfect sense. :P

Where did you disappear to for 3 weeks anyway?

I was on "sabbatical" contemplating my navel. I have been under the impression that many (with the exception of you and other dear friends) have blackballed my postings because of my idiotic misuse of the word "boycott" in one of my postings. But I am back, at least for a while to see if things change. I also found that the quality of the postings for debate has deteriorated in number. However, I do try to remain loyal to members of my friends list and answer as many as I think I have something to add to. Always nice to see you Your Grace.....you always seem to have a happy input to my postings and help make any of my days.


myLot reputation of 96/100. lordwarwizard (10625)  5 years ago

I have to be honest and say that I don't remember what you are talking about. What's wrong with "boycott"? :P

You are a precious gem on my friend's list. Other than licking your toes, I shall endeavor to please you. ;-)


myLot reputation of 92/100. gifana (2229)   ranked 1 out of 2 in logic & riddles  5 years ago

rofl. The posting was about how I picked myLoters for my friends list. My purpose of the post was to explain to some of those who I had included in my list were later deleted. I merely pointed out (or at least tried to) that if people didn't seem to think that commenting on others' (not just mine) responses was necessary then I wasn't going to take precious time away from those friends who did and would "boycott" any future requests to be added to my list based on this premise. Since then I have had fewer responses to my postings and from some who were (I thought) regular contributors. It's not a big deal but I just didn't, and don't, think it is fair to deny or delete any request for a friend without some explanation.

http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/903712.aspx in case you want to refresh your memory. Actually I believe it is the posting that I received the most responses to. Had you responded earlier you might have gotten best response but that was given to response #29. Your response was #34.

PS....please do not make any comment on the old posting as I would rather let sleeping dogs lie. Thanks.


myLot reputation of 96/100. lordwarwizard (10625)  5 years ago

Oh you mean THAT discussion. Wasn't that the same discussion from where I first knew you? I had to bark like a dog and then whine like a puppy because you would accept my friend request. Sniff... where went my pride...

And yes, I will not comment on that discussion. But if you make me angry in future, I shall bump up all your old discussions and make a mess of your life.

MUWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!


myLot reputation of 92/100. gifana (2229)   ranked 1 out of 2 in logic & riddles  5 years ago

OMG YOU WOULDN'T!!!!!! I didn't see that you were begging, I just see it as the start of a beautiful keyboard friendship. Maybe we should start up our own "mutual admiration society".


myLot reputation of 96/100. lordwarwizard (10625)  5 years ago

So now you better put on your best behavior always ROFL! :P


myLot reputation of 92/100. gifana (2229)   ranked 1 out of 2 in logic & riddles  5 years ago

Yes, your grace....whatever you wish.

Gee gifana this is a hard one and I"m not completely awake. I am baffled...not by air or boat and not built in the island... I don't suppose there's a tunnel to the island?
Or that it is a toy ...how heavy is a tractor anyways? could it go over ice during the winter? Probably not, those things are heavy. But I can't find any other options...it's not one of those hybrid things that can go in the water ?

I suppose lordwizard can be right, maybe it did go before the island was an island land is the only thing that is missing there since we already know it was not by boat or air.
Will you give us the answer later on? I'm curious now LOL


myLot reputation of 92/100. gifana (2229)   ranked 1 out of 2 in logic & riddles  5 years ago

but I'm not saying which.....


myLot reputation of 100/100. arkaf61 (5809)   ranked 2 out of 2 in logic & riddles  5 years ago

Gifana don't leave me like this !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what is it ? What is it???????
LOL YOu back now?
Forget about that discussion, that's where I met you first too:)
I think we ended up agreeing to disagree LOL but I did tell you at that time and I meant it, that I liked your discussions so I would do my best to follow them :)
I'm glad I did.


myLot reputation of 92/100. gifana (2229)   ranked 1 out of 2 in logic & riddles  5 years ago

Well, since there are now three of you I will have to give the best response to the one who got it right....which is you arkaf although you don't know it. Yes, the water froze in the winter and the tractor was driven across the ice. So now you can stop being baffled and get a good night's sleep. Thanks for staying in there.


myLot reputation of 100/100. arkaf61 (5809)   ranked 2 out of 2 in logic & riddles  5 years ago

AH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got it! I got it !!!! LOL
Thanks , as you say I can finally sleep without dreaming about a tractor in an island that nobody knows how it got there hehehehehe
Bring us more of those, I love them :)
Have a wonderful day !


myLot reputation of 92/100. gifana (2229)   ranked 1 out of 2 in logic & riddles  5 years ago

I'm glad I didn't wait any longer to inform you of your "winning". Wouldn't want to be known as the one who drove you mad before your time.

I do have a couple more of those stuffed away somewhere in a file on a floppy but it might take me a while to find them. Meantime, you have a nice day too. +

Was the tractor driven there when the tide went out? You know how much I love your riddles. They drive me crazy!


myLot reputation of 92/100. gifana (2229)   ranked 1 out of 2 in logic & riddles  5 years ago

Nothing was mentioned about a tide so I assume that the tractor was in the middle of a lake. Bood thinking though. Always nice to see you EB.
