    Tricky Questions

    Here are some tricky questions that I received in an e-mail from a friend. Let's see how many you can get. The answers will be in the next post of this thread.

    1)What do you put in a toaster?

    2) Say "silk" five times. Now spell "silk." What do cows drink?

    3) 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 green house made from?

    4) Twenty years ago, a plane was flying at 20,000 feet over Germany. If you recall, Germany at the time was politically divided into West Germany and East Germany. Anyway, during the flight, TWO of the engines failed. The pilot, realizing that the last remaining engine is also failing, decides on a crash landing procedure. Unfortunately the third engine fails before he has time to attempt an emergency landing, 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? . . . in East Germany or West Germany or in "no man's land"?

    5) If the hour hand on a clock moves 1/60 of a degree every minute how many degrees will the hour hand move in one hour?

    6)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 Carmathen, six people get off and three get on. You then arrive at Milford Haven. What was the name of the bus driver?

    The Answers

    1) Bread. It becomes toast in the toaster.

    2) Cows drink WATER. If you said milk, try reading the question.

    3) Glass. A greenhouse is not green, it is a place for plants to grow. Plants cannot grow in a brick house.

    4) You don't bury survivors.

    5) 1 degree. If the hour hand moves 1/60 of a degree in one minute then how many degrees does it move in 60 minutes?

    6) YOU are the bus driver.

    I got 2 wrong! I think that cows drink milk. Ooops. And I went the wrong way with airplane. Didn't catch that they were survivors just tried to figure out how to bury people beneath a wall.

    It could make you wonder why
    But why wonder, why wonder?
    I am green and it'll do fine
    It's beautiful..."
