1. What is it that when you take away the whole, you still have some left over?
The word “wholesome”
2. Farmer Brown came to town with some watermelons. He sold half of them plus half a melon, and found that he had one whole melon left. How many melons did he take to town?
I have semantics difficultly with this. If “watermelon” and “melon” are to be considered synonymous, the answer is: Two and a half.
If “melon” is to be considered different from “watermelon”, the answer is: a half.
3. Name one eight letter word that has kst in the middle, in the beginning, and at the end.
Inkstand (In – kst – and)
6. What hath but two feet, three hands, and three eyes?
(POLITICAL) Two survivors of an IED in Iraq.
10. A king decided to let a prisoner try to escape the prison with his life. The king placed 2 marbles in a jar. One of the marbles was supposed to be black, and one was supposed to be white. If the prisoner could pick the white marble, he would be given his freedom. If he picked the black marble, he would be executed. However, the king was an evil man, and he wickedly placed 2 black marbles in the jars and no white marbles. The prisoner witnessed the king only putting 2 black marbles in the jar. If the jar was not see-through, and the prisoner was mute, so he could not say anything, how did he escape with his life?
The prisoner who witnessed the king putting the marbles in the jar was NOT the prisoner who would be choosing the marble.
