Bombs Away!

One night during WWII, an allied bomber was on a mission over Germany. The plane was in perfect condition, and everything on it worked properly. When it had reached its target, the pilot ordered the bomb doors opened, and they were opened. He then ordered the bombs to be released. They were released, but the bombs did not fall from the plane. Why?

I hate you. That was my idea.

Answer to #28:

The plane had to be flying upside down, so the bombs couldn't be dropped from the plane.

TAKE THAT FELIX!

Neighbors

Ali, Ben, and Cyril were born in 1309, 1310, and 1311 in the same district in old Jerusalem. They grew up and lived their whole lives in the same area. Each lived to be over 60 and lived a full and active life. However the three men never saw eachother. Why?

perhaps the districts changed at one point or another. Therefore, they may have grown up in the same area, but they went to different schools, and different jobs, because their districts became different.

There we go. They were all different religions, so their calendars were hundreds of years apart.

faster than the speed of sound.

What was the first manmade object to travel faster than the speed of sound? The speed of sound is about 1100 feet per second (340 meters per second). Concorde travels faster than the speed of sound. But the answer to this question is an object created long before the concorde.

Man made sound waves?

Is this supposed to be a 'think outside the square' type question?

Its a whip. The whip cracking is actually the breaking of the sound barrier

Puzzle 31(5 points) (props to whoever gets this one)

The arm of the postal service.

One day, a man recieved a parcel in the post. Inside he found a human left arm. He examined it carefully and then repacked it and sent it to another man. The second man also examined the arm. He then took it out to the woods and buried it. Why should they have done these things?

Man 1 had gotten the arm of a third man, and then the arm went to man 2, who buried it. I am not sure why, but I am going to guess that they were all stranded somewhere and had to cut an arm off for food, but then it was buried because they were rescued or something. I was asked this one a LOOOOONG time ago, so I don't remember the details, but I think that's it.

Stranded, cutting arms off for food... that doesn't deal with the mailing the arm to people.... Taking Kefka's scenario, maybe they got rescued before they had to eat the third guy's arm but they made some sort of pact that all 3 of them had to cut their arms off. So, he cut his arm off and mailed it to the other two as proof that he had actually kept his part of the deal.
