10th's Answers
|

1. The word "incorrectly." {Almost
cracked your brain, didn't you?}
2. 1:45. The man gave away a total of 25 cents.
He divided it between two people. Therefore, he gave a quarter
to two.
3. None, the boat rises with the tide. Duh.
4. White. If all the walls face south, the
house is at the North pole, and the bear, therefore, is
a polar bear.
5. Three. Well, it seems that it could almost
be either, but if you follow the mathematical orders of
operation, division is performed before addition. So...
half of two is one. Then add two, and the answer is three.
6. Sloppy is a goldfish. The wind blew the
shutters in, which knocked his goldfish bowl off the table,
and it broke, killing him. Poor Sloppy :-(
7. None. No matter how big a hole is, it's
still a hole: the absence of dirt. (And those of you who
said 36 cubic feet are wrong for another reason, too. You
would have needed the length measurement too. So you don't
even know how much air is in the hole.)
8. Both questions, same answer: the ball in
the bucket of 45 degree F water hits the bottom of the bucket
last. Did you think that the water in the 30 degree F bucket
is frozen? Think again. The question said nothing about
that bucket having anything in it. Therefore, there is no
water (or ice) to slow the ball down.
9. The time and month/date/year American style
calendar are 12:34, 5/6/78.
10. An umbrella.
11. One. If he combines all of his haystacks,
they all become one big stack.
12. The temperature
