29. What is the significance of the following: The year is 1978, thirty-four minutes past noon! on May 6th.
30. What is it that goes up and goes down but does not move?


1) 70
2) incorrectly
3) 2 apples
4) an umbrella
5) Ouch, peacocks don't lay eggs, the female peahen does.
6) a chair, a bed and a toothbrush.
7) the boat rises with the tide and takes the ladder with it, so none.
8) Mr. Bigger is the bigger Bigger. ;)
9) All of them.
10) All of them.
11) Since the house is supposedly at the North Pole, the answer is white, even though Polar Bears really don't hang out at the North Pole.
12) Why should I light anything if there was already a fire ?
13) ::Cough:: Fahrsburg ;)
14) None. It was Noah and the Ark.
15) Second Place.
16) First place and lapping. :D
17) 4100
18) Marie
19) She was walking at the time.

21) True. There are two Capital T's...
22) Allowance time for a cheapskate's family.
23) See number 7...
24) See number 11...
25) 3. Math rules say to do division and multiplication before addition and subtraction unless instructed otherwise. So the formula is 2/2 + 2 = 3 instead of (2 + 2)/2 = 2.
26) The traditional "Sloppy" is the dead goldfish puzzle. Given this one is incomplete, I'd say, "The wind blew open the shutters, which broke the goldfish bowl, depositing Sloppy on the floor to asphyxiate..."
27) There is no dirt in the hole.
28) Since the bowling ball won't hit the bottom of the bucket with the frozen water no mater the location, I'd say the ball dropped in the 45 degree water will hit the bottom first.
29) On this day at 12:34, the numbers 12345678 represented the time and day: 12:34 5/6/78. The next such sequence will occur in 2078.

The match.

13. You're the pilot of an aeroplane that travels from New York to Chicago - a distance of 800 miles. The aeroplane travels at 200 m.p.h. and makes one stop for 30 minutes. What is the pilot's name?

His real name should remain private, but Arancaytar Ilyaran will suffice.

14. How many of each species did Moses take on board the ark?

I'm an agnostic, but I'm not a fool. Moses wasn't even born when the ark was supposedly built.

15: You are competing in a race and overtake the runner lying in second place. In which position are you now?

Assuming he was in second place before, not after, I overtook him, I'm now in second place.

16: If you overtake the last runner, what position are you now in?

I can't overtake the last runner, because to do that I'd have to be behind the last runner, which isn't possible if I'm participating in the race myself.

17: Take 1000. Add 40. Add another 1000. Add 30. 1000 again. Plus 20. Plus 1000. And plus 10. What is the total?

4100. But I admit I was about to say 5000.

18: Marie's father has five daughters: 1. Chacha 2. Cheche 3. Chichi 4. Chocho Question: What is the fifth daughter's name? Think quickly...

Marie.

19. A girl who was just learning to drive went down a one-way street in the wrong direction, but didn't break the law. How come?

She wasn't driving her car.

20. Two students are sitting on opposite sides of the same desk. There is nothing in between them but the desk. Why can't they see each other?

Either they're blind, or they're sitting back to back.

21. There are only two T's in Timothy Tuttle. True or false?

False. There are five.

22. A man gave one son 10 cents and another son was given 15 cents. What time is it?

11:51 AM, GMT+1 at the time of writing.

23. A boat has a ladder that has six rungs, each rung is one foot apart. The bottom rung is one foot from he water. The tide rises at 12 inches every 15 minutes. High tide peaks in one hour. When the tide is at it's highest, how many rungs are under water?

See above. I don't do feet and inches.

24. There is a house with four walls. Each wall faces south. There is a window in each wall. A bear walks by one of the windows. What color is the bear?

We had that question before. Either the house is rectangular again, then the bear is white, or the walls have some weird geometric shape like a drawing by M.C. Escher (or the house has more than these four walls), in which case there's no way of knowing the color of the bear.

25. Is half of two plus two equal to two or three?

Assuming you have no parantheses in the equation, it's three. Multiplication before addition.

26. There is a room.! The shutters are blowing in. There is broken glass on the floor. There is water on the floor. You find Sloppy dead on the floor. Who is Sloppy? How did Sloppy die?

Sloppy is a fish, and he asphyxiated in the air after his glass broke.

27. How much dirt would be in a hole 6 feet deep and 6 feet wide that has been dug with a square edged shovel?

There is no dirt in it anymore, since it has been removed. However, there is space for approximately 54 Pi cubed feet of dirt.

28. If I were in Hawaii and dropped a bowling ball in a bucket of water which is 45! degrees F, and dropped another ball of the same weight, mass, and size in a bucket at 30 degrees F, both of them at the same time, which ball would hit the bottom of the bucket first? Same question, but the location is in Canada?

From your question I assume that "degrees F", whatever that is, has its water freezing point somewhere between those temperatures. In which case the second ball would never hit the bottom. However, since I am not familiar with that system, I cannot say for certain.

29. What is the significance of the following: The year is 1978, thirty-four minutes past noon! on May 6th.

Since you people put month before day for some inexplicable reason, those numbers are nicely consecutive. 12:34, 5/6/78.

30. What is it that goes up and goes down but does not move?

A lot of things do that. Temperature, for one.

And then I read the answers....

I and I note the two I got wrong, however take great issue with the supposed answer to 22

22. A man gave one son 10 cents and another son was given 15 cents. What time is it?

1:45. The man gave away a total of 25 cents. He divided it between two people. Therefore, he gave a quarter to two.


Yes the man gave away 25 cents, however "a quarter" is a designation of a specific coin - not of a monetary amount. So, if you want to say that he gave "25 to two", then I would accept 1:35 as a valid answer.

But not 1:45.

Because he did not give "a quarter" as he could not have divided it in the manner he did between his sons.

I understand now why people are saying a white bear(polar bear) to..

-Question 11. A man built a house of rectangular structure with all the walls facing south. A bear came wandering by. What colour was it?-

But.. even though the house is on the north pole .. isn't there still east and west there? That's what got me. Figured it was a joke sorta question.

19. A girl who was just learning to drive went down a one-way street in the wrong direction, but didn't break the law. How come?

She walked.



mmm this question is quite cheeky. The comment about the street being one-way strongly carries the implication that she was actually walking on the part of the street governed by the one way restrictions ie. actually on the road. In which case she could be breaking all sorts of laws, obstructing a public highway jay walking etc.

I understand now why people are saying a white bear(polar bear) to..

-Question 11. A man built a house of rectangular structure with all the walls facing south. A bear came wandering by. What colour was it?-

But.. even though the house is on the north pole .. isn't there still east and west there? That's what got me. Figured it was a joke sorta question.

Actually, no. We're saying at the north pole, the actual pole that's placed at the very tip of the earth that scientists always move an inch or two based on calculations of how the earth is tipped.

At the actual north pole- right there on that spot- you can only go south. Pretty cool. Same thing with the south poll. Right there at the tip, you can only go north. Nowhere else in the world except those two places can you say that no matter what direction you're walking in, you can only go in one direction.

I disagree with 17 The answer is 2030

Take 1000. Add 40. Add another 1000. Add 30. 1000 again. Plus 20. Plus 1000. And plus 10. What is the total?

1000 = 1000
+40 = 1040
+1000 = 2040

1000 again (not that this does not have add etc infront of it therefore we are reverting to a 1000)
+20 = 1020
+1000 = 2020
+10 = 2030 Answer.
