Here are Eleven Questions, let's see how many You can Answer!
Questions:
01. What do you put in a toaster?
02. Say "silk" five times. Now spell "silk". What do cows drink?
03. If a red house is made from red bricks and a blue house is made from blue bricks and a pink house is made from pink bricks and a black house is made from black bricks, what is a greenhouse made from?
04. Twenty years ago, a plane is flying at 20,000 feet over Germany. If you will recall, Germany at the time was politically divided into West Germany and East Germany. Anyway, during the flight, TWO of the engines fail. The pilot, realizing that the last remaining engine is also failing, decides on a crash landing procedure. Unfortunately the engine fails before he has time and the plane crashes smack in the middle of "no man's land" between East Germany and West Germany. Where would you bury the survivors - East Germany or West Germany or in "no man's land"?
05. If the hour hand on a clock moves 1/60th of a degree every minute then how many degrees will the hour hand move in one hour?
06. Without using a calculator - You are driving a bus from London to Milford Haven in Wales. In London, 17 people get on the bus. In Reading, six people get off the bus and nine people get on. In Swindon, Two people get off and four get on. In Cardiff, 11 people get off and 16 people get on. In Swansea, three people get off and five people get on. In Carmarthen, six people get off and three get on. You then arrive at Milford Haven. What was the name of the bus driver and what is his age?
07. A murderer is condemned to death. He has to choose between three rooms. The first is full of raging fires, the second is full of assassins with loaded guns, and the third is full of lions that haven't eaten in 3 years. Which room is safest for him?
08. A woman shoots her husband. Then she holds him under water for over 5 minutes. Finally, she hangs him. But 5 minutes later they both go out and enjoy a wonderful dinner together. How can this be?
09. What is black when you buy it, red when you use it, and grey when you throw it away?
10. Can you name three consecutive days without using the words Wednesday, Friday, or Sunday?
11. This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious as to just how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it. It looks so ordinary and plain that you would think nothing was wrong with it. In fact, nothing is wrong with it! But it is highly unusual, though. Study it and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out. Try to do so without any coaching!
Answers:
01.The answer is bread. If you said "toast", then give up now and go do something else. Try not to hurt yourself. If you said, "bread", go to question two.
02.Cows drink water. If you said "milk", please do not attempt the next question. . If you said "water" then proceed to question three.
03.Greenhouses are made from glass. If you said "glass", then go on to question four.
04. You don't, of course, bury survivors. If you said, "Don't bury the survivors" then proceed to the next question.
05.One degree. If you said "360 degrees" or anything other than ?one degree?, you are to be congratulated on getting this far.
06.Oh, for heaven sake! It was YOU and your age. Read the first line again.
07. The third room. Lions that haven't eaten in three years are dead. That one was easy, right?
08. The woman was a photographer. She shot a picture of her husband, developed it, and hung it up to dry.
09. Charcoal, as it is used in barbecuing.
10. Sure you can name three consecutive days: yesterday, today, and tomorrow!
11. The letter 'e', the most common in the English language, does not appear even once in the paragraph.
