The Answers

There is one word in the English language that is always pronounced incorrectly. What is it?

Incorrectly

None, the boat rises with the tide. Duh.

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.

5 | P a g e

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. How did Sloppy die?

Sloppy is a goldfish. The wind blew the shutters in, which knocked his goldfish bowl off the table and it broke, killing him.

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

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.)

I am in Hawaii and drop a bowling ball into a bucket of water, which is 45 degrees F. At the same time, I drop another ball, of the same weight, mass and size, into a bucket at 30 degrees F. Which ball would hit the bottom of the bucket first? Same question, but the location is in Canada?

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.

The time and month/date/year are 12:34, 5/6/78.

What can go up a chimney down, but can't go down a chimney up?

An umbrella

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

The temperature

Paul is 20 years old in 1980, but only 15 years old in 1985. How is this possible?

The years are in B.C., not A.D. as you probably assumed. Based on the system we use to number the years, the years counted down in B.C. (but they weren't counting backwards back then).

What has four legs but only one foot?

A bed

Kindly old Grandfather LunnIs twice as old as his sonTwenty-five years agoTheir age ratio

6 | P a g e

Strange enough was three to one.

When does Grandfather celebrate his centenary?

This yearHe is 100 and his son is 50.

Said a certain young lady named Gwen Of her tally of smitten young men "One less and three more Divided by four Together give one more than ten."

There was a young fellow named Clive Whose bees number ten power five The daughters to each son Were as nineteen to one, A truly remarkable hive.

A team's opening batter named Nero Squared his number of hits, the big hero! After subtracting his score He took off ten and two more And the final result was a "zero."

Some freshman from Trinity Hall Played hockey with a wonderful ball. Two times its weight Plus weight squared, minus eight, Gave "nothing" in ounces at all.

2 ounces (Beach ball or ping-pong ball?) 2x2=4. 4+2^2=8. 8-8=0.
