The Official Answers
1. A key
2. Venus
3. Dates from the calendar, and water from the bed springs.
4. Zero. In the first inning Casey and the next two batters walk and the next three strike out. In the second inning, the first three walk again, which brings Casey back to bat. But each runner is caught off base by the pitcher, so Casey is back at the plate at the start of the third inning. This pattern is now repeated until the game ends with no joy in Mudville, even though the mighty Casey never once strikes out.
5. Your mother
6. The same three cats would do. Since these three cats are averaging one mouse per minute, given 100 minutes, the cats could catch 100 mice.
7. None. If their names are in the phone directory, they do not have unlisted phone numbers!
8. Today is Jan. 1st. Yesterday, December 31, was Chris's 8th birthday. On December 30, she was still 7. This year she will turn 9, and next year, she'll turn 10.
9. Otis Redding. The cause of the crash that killed Redding was never determined. The Beechcraft in which he was traveling went into a spin and crashed into icy Lake Monona in heavy fog. Redding is best known for his hit song "Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay", which was recorded only three days before his death.
10. The maid. She said she was getting the mail, but there is no mail delivery on Sunday. (We'll eliminate the possibility that she was picking up yesterday's mail.)
