MuzikTyme Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Hmm, nice diagram, Mr. Crime. My apology if I'm speaking out of turn but: Which weighs more; a pound of feathers or a pound of gold? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Joe Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 LOL...I think it's a pound of common sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuzikTyme Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Actually, a pound of feathers weighs more than a pound of gold. Heavy feathers, light gold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuzikTyme Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 Hmmm. This reminds me slightly of the old TV gameshow "Concentration." I think it means: "(Eye)f a (man) d(o’s) h(eyes) (bee)est, w(hat) m(oar) (can) we (x)pect phrom hi(1000=m)?" Or: "If a man does his best what more can we expect from him?" I'm probably wrong but I think I'm on the right track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindCrime Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 I think that's right, but unfortunately I don't have the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuzikTyme Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 I think that's right, but unfortunately I don't have the answer. That's a shame as I would definitely like to know what it says. Water lilies double in area every 24 hours. It takes them thirty days to cover a pond. How many days would it take for them to cover half a pond?

Farin Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 I don't know if I posted them before, apologies if I did These are not trick questions. They are straight questions with straight answers. 1. Name the one sport in which neither the spectators nor the participants know the score or the leader until the contest ends. 2. What famous North American landmark is constantly moving backward? 3. Of all vegetables, only two can live to produce on their own for several growing seasons. All other vegetables must be replanted every year. What are the only two perennial vegetables? 4. What fruit has its seeds on the outside? 5. In many liquor stores you can buy pear brandy, with a real pear inside the bottle. The pear is whole and ripe, and the bottle is genuine; it hasn't been cut in any way. How did the pear get inside the bottle? 6. Only three words in standard English begin with the letters 'dw' and they are all common words. Name two of them. 7. There are 14 punctuation marks in English grammar. Can you name at least half of them? 8. Name the only vegetable or fruit that is never sold frozen, canned, processed, cooked, or in any other form except fresh. 9. Name 6 or more things that you can wear on your feet beginning with the letter 'S.' maybe put your answers in spoilers, so others can answer too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Seeker Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 I gave it a try. I suck at those questions though 1. Name the one sport in which neither the spectators nor the participants know the score or the leader until the contest ends.Some sort of race maybe? Like those races in the desert 2. What famous North American landmark is constantly moving backward?Some sort of mountain or glacier maybe, but I couldn't think of anything else right now 3. Of all vegetables, only two can live to produce on their own for several growing seasons. All other vegetables must be replanted every year. What are the only two perennial vegetables?Tomatoes I think... and potatoes? 4. What fruit has its seeds on the outside?strawberries? 5. In many liquor stores you can buy pear brandy, with a real pear inside the bottle. The pear is whole and ripe, and the bottle is genuine; it hasn't been cut in any way. How did the pear get inside the bottle?No idea. Maybe they grow the pears inside the bottles, or dry them and put them in there and then when you add a liquid they go back to their usual state. 6. Only three words in standard English begin with the letters 'dw' and they are all common words. Name two of them.dwarf, dwindle 7. There are 14 punctuation marks in English grammar. Can you name at least half of them?comma, full stop, exclamation mark, question mark, semicolon, apostrophe, colon,... 8. Name the only vegetable or fruit that is never sold frozen, canned, processed, cooked, or in any other form except fresh.Melons? They don't sell them canned, do they? 9. Name 6 or more things that you can wear on your feet beginning with the letter 'S.'Socks, stockings (is that cheating?), sandals, shoes, sneakers, hmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farin Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 you could've just put them all in one spoiler... less typing work for you answers 4-7 are correct though for your 8, I guess you could buy them frozen? I dunno, the solution is a different one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levis Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 Ah good, now I don't need to add my own spoilers 1. Name the one sport in which neither the spectators nor the participants know the score or the leader until the contest ends.Life! (ok, so maybe that's not a sport) 2. What famous North American landmark is constantly moving backward?I dunno... I'll get back to you on that. 3. Of all vegetables, only two can live to produce on their own for several growing seasons. All other vegetables must be replanted every year. What are the only two perennial vegetables?tomatoes aren't vegetables, Fin! Erm, I'm gonna say.... I don't know!! 4. What fruit has its seeds on the outside?strawberries, of course (why yes, I did already know that) 5. In many liquor stores you can buy pear brandy, with a real pear inside the bottle. The pear is whole and ripe, and the bottle is genuine; it hasn't been cut in any way. How did the pear get inside the bottle?Is this the one where they place the bottle over the 'bud' so the pear grows in it? 6. Only three words in standard English begin with the letters 'dw' and they are all common words. Name two of them.Wow, I couldn't think of any! Except for dweeby names like Dway.... waitaminit... DWEEB!!! 7. There are 14 punctuation marks in English grammar. Can you name at least half of them?. , ! ? : ; - () ...er maybe & and / 8. Name the only vegetable or fruit that is never sold frozen, canned, processed, cooked, or in any other form except fresh.cabbage, apparently. I learned that a while ago 9. Name 6 or more things that you can wear on your feet beginning with the letter 'S.'shoes, socks, stockings, sandals, slippers, stilettos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Levis Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 ok so if I have to actually NAME the punctuation marks: 7. There are 14 punctuation marks in English grammar. Can you name at least half of them? full stop, comma, exclamation marl, question mark, colon, semicolon, hyphen, parentheses (open + close) and maybe ampersand and slash?

Farin Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 for your 8: ever heard of "sauerkraut"? is also often used in soups and whatnot and if you put that in cans it's sold cooked too 9 is correct though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
