The Blonde and the Lawyer

A blonde and a lawyer are seated next to each other on a flght from LA to NY.

The lawyer asks if she would like to play a fun game.

The blonde, tired, just wants to take a nap, politely declines and rolls over to the window to catch a few winks.

The lawyer persists and explains that the game is easy and a lot of fun.

He explains, “I ask you a question, and if you don’t know the answer, you pay me $5.00, and vise versa.”

Again, she declines and tries to get some sleep. The lawyer, now agitated, says, “Okay, if you don’t know the answer you pay me $5.00, and if I don’t know the answer, I will pay you $500.00.”

This catches the blonde’s attention and, À guring there will be no end to this torment unless she plays, agrees to the game. The lawyer asks the first question. “What’s the distance from the earth to the moon?” The blonde doesn’t say a word, reaches into her purse, pulls out a $5.00 bill and hands it to the lawyer. “Okay” says the lawyer, “your turn.”

She asks the lawyer, “What goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four legs?” The lawyer, puzzled, takes out his laptop computer and searches all his references, no answer. He taps into the air phone with his modem and searches the net and the library of congress, no answer. Frustrated, he sends e-mails to all his friends and coworkers, to no avail. After an hour, he wakes the blonde, and hands her $500.00.

The blonde says, “Thank you”, and turns back to get some more sleep.

The lawyer, who is more than a little miffed, wakes the blonde and asks, “Well, what’s the answer?” Without a word, the blonde reaches into her purse, hands the lawyer $5.00, and goes back to sleep.

Jawaban untuk soal ini adalah C. $500.00.

Soal ini menanyakan jumlah uang yang didapat oleh wanita berambut pirang dari keuntungannya bermain tebak kata dengan pengacara.

Untuk menjawab soalnya, perhatikan beberapa kalimat berikut:

- "A blonde and a lawyer are seated next to each other on a flight from LA to NY.
The lawyer asks if she would like to play a fun game."

(Wanita berambut pirang dan seorang pengacara duduk bersebelahan pada penerbangan dari LA menuju NY.
Pengacara bertanya apakah dia mau bermain permainan yang menyenangkan.)

- "The lawyer, now agitated, says, “Okay, if you don’t know the answer you pay me $5.00, and if I don’t know the answer, I will pay you $500.00.”"

(Sang pengacara yang sekarang gelisah, berkata “Oke, jika kamu tidak tahu jawabannya, kamu beri aku uang $5.00, dan jika aku tidak tahu jawabannya, aku akan membayarmu $500.00.”)

- "She asks the lawyer, “What goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four legs?”"

(Dia bertanya pada si pengacara “Apa yang naik ke bukit dengan 3 kaki lalu turun dengan 4 kaki?”)

- "After an hour, he wakes the blonde, and hands her $500.00."
(Setelah 1 jam, si pengacara membangunkan wanita pirang dari tidurnya dan memberinya uang $500.00.)

Dilihat dari arti kalimat-kalimat di atas, diketahui bahwa wanita berambut pirang (the blonde) dan pengacara (lawyer) bermain tebak kata di dalam pesawat. Karena pengacara tidak bisa menebak atau menjawab pertanyaan teka-teki dari wanita pirang, pengacara itu pun harus membayar $500.00 padanya.

Itu tandanya, keuntungan yang didapat wanita pirang dari bermain tebak kata dengan si pengacara adalah uang berjumlah $500.00. Ini sesuai dengan opsi C.

Jadi, jawaban untuk soal ini adalah C. $500.00.
