Did you read this:

Hmmm... well, I had trouble finding the trick word, cause you usually have one... the trick word here I think is "lenses"... we think of glasses to be lenses, but the lenses were not the sunglasses, but instead, contact lenses... So Sid put the sunglasses on him, not knowing that he was already wearing the contact lenses. My guess, anyway. I'm probably wrong. Cause that makes no sense to do such a thing... with my luck, the lenses actually were the sunglasses. Oh well, I should take a break from these things for a few days. They're making my head hurt.


You need to read more carefully, really. And yea, I forgot to mention the sunglasses were presciption, but meh.

A worm is at the bottom of a forty meter hole. It can crawl upwards at the rate of four meters in one day, but at night, it slips back three meters. At this rate, how long will it take the worm to crawl out of the hole?



37 days. He still has 39 meters to go after one day, 38 after 2 days, 37 after 3 days, etc. And after day 36, he has 4 to go. So he crawls the last four and makes it out on day 37.

EDIT: elaborated on my answer for #27.

I've heard this one before, so I'll have the honor to not answer it. But I am oh so tempted to answer!

EDIT: btw, I still think I got 26 right on my first attempt at it.

Well, backwards it's "not", so forwards it must be "ton" which is pretty heavy

Question 30:

Dan Manly was revisiting his home town when an old friend called, "Hey Dan, how have you been? It must be 15 years since we last saw each other."
"At least that," replied Dan. "I've been keeping well, but tell me about yourself." Dan's friend answered, "I'm married now but to someone that you wouldn't know. By the way, this is my daughter." Dan looked down at the little girl and asked her name. "It's the same as my mother's," the little girl replied. "Then I bet your name is Susan," said Dan. How could he know?

Teddylot: Honestly, do you have selective reading impairement?

Announcer: And we were looking for the perscription sunglasses you left out.

As for me, I was just playing my character. Very well, might I add.

Announcer: And no, we aren't whatever-ing you. If you want to complain about a question being too easy, don't. You've gotten your fair share, as well. Also, NO CURSING IN THIS THREAD. I don't care if you censor it. 1) It still doesn't change the meaning of what you said. 2) Most people know the two missing letters you left out. It's no mystery. Next time, hold your tongue.

Teddylot: Besides, cursing is for people who can't express themselves in actual words. *nods* Now, where's Dani's clipboard when you need it?

Question 31:

In Hawaii, if you drop a steel ball weighing five pounds from a height of 45 inches, will it fall more rapidly through water at 20 degrees Fahrenheit or water at 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Or will it make no difference?


Teddylot: Now, kiddies, play nice.

40 degrees.

Water at 20 degrees is frozen, and I bet the steel ball wouldn't go through it at all.

I'm gonna guess that in Hawaii the water doesn't get as low as 20 degrees so its impossible?

Question 32:

At 7 a.m. a train moving 90 kph leaves Montreal heading for Toronto. At 8 a.m. a train running 110 kph leaves Toronto heading for Montreal. Which train will be closer to Montreal when they meet?


Announcer: And to make things more interesting, you have to tell something about yourself in your next post or your answer will be ignored.

Teddylot: And you did a very nice job of it, too. *looks around* Now, you can go show that rampaging dinosaur that just escaped from Doctor Demented's lab and is currently coming to destroy our stage who's boss.

Question 33:

A particular pumpkin weighs 3/4 of a kilogram plus 3/4 of a pumpkin. How much does this pumpkin weigh?


Teddylot: And please, do note that the previously mentioned rule is still in use. And make it better than Kirby ATW's. I know it won't be too hard.

According to my math, this particular pumpkin weighs 3 kilograms.

3(3/4)= 2.25
3/4=.75
2.25 + .75 = 3

And... I have brown hair....
