The Official Answers

1. On a map.

2. Get your drunk ass off the merry-go-round. (With thanks to alwaysmissinpdc)

3. One thing Julie could do is freeze a tray of ice-cubes, and turn the tray of ice upside down in her freezer. When she comes home, she should check the tray. If the ice cubes are still in the tray, the food is safe to eat. If the trays are empty, it's time to clean out the freezer. She'll have to make a judgment call if the ice-cubes are only slightly thawed.

4. A cloud

5. 1) #2 rows #1 across in 2 minutes
2) #1 returns in 1 minute
3) #10 rows #5 across in 10 minutes
4) #2 returns in 2 minutes
5) #2 rows #1 across in 2 minutes
Total is 17 minutes, and steps 2) and 4) can be interchanged. The key is to have #10 row #5 across and have a faster rower waiting on the other side to take the boat back.

6. Headache Or heartache

7. EDAM cheese. ( 'made' backwards is edam )

8. Load the elephant onto a boat large enough to carry it. The boat will sink slightly, and you mark the level of the water on the side of t he boat. Then you offload the elephant and fill the boat with bags until the boat sinks to the level marked. The bags can be individually weighed using beam scales and the weight of the elephant is the sum of the weight of the bags.

9. 1. balk (although a player cannot automatically advance to first on a balk, a balked pitch is automatically a ball, and a runner could walk to first base if the balk is the fourth "ball");
2. walk;
3. hit-by-pitch;
4. defensive interference;
5. fielders choice;
6. dropped third strike;
7. being designated as a pinch runner;
8. error.

10. (1) Remove 1 pill from Bottle 1. (2) Remove 2 pills from Bottle 2. (3) Remove 3 pills from Bottle 3. (4) Remove 4 pills from Bottle 4. (5) Combine the 10 pills and weight them together. (6) If Bottle 1 has the poisoned pills, the 10 pills will weigh 10.1 grams. (7) If Bottle 2 has the poisoned pills, the 10 pills will weigh 10.2 grams. (8) If Bottle 3 has the poisoned pills, the 10 pills will weigh 10.3 grams. (9) If Bottle 4 has the poisoned pills, the 10 pills will weigh 10.4 grams. And the problem is solved.
