Talking FORUM FUN FEATURE!! Densa IQ Test

Hope you might find this mildly challenging. I still haven't been able to figure out how to "Link" the answers to the test itself (That process is a "work in progress"), so I'll just post them as a separate thread. Kind of takes the sport out of it if you don't give it a decent shot before just getting the responses though.

DENSA IQ TEST

1. The maker doesn’t want it; the buyer doesn’t use it; and the user doesn’t see it. What is it?
2. A child is born in Boston, Massachusetts to parents who were both born in Boston, Massachusetts. The child is not a citizen of the United States. How is this possible?
3. Before Mount Everest was discovered, what was the highest mountain on Earth?
4. Clara Clatter was born on December 27th, yet her birthday is always in the summer. How is this possible?
5. Captain Frank and some of the boys were exchanging old war stories. Art Bragg offered one about how his grandfather led a battalion against a German division in World War I. Through brilliant manoeuvres, he was able to defeat them and captured valuable territory. After the battle he was presented with a sword bearing the inscription; “To Captain Bragg for Bravery, Daring and Outstanding Leadership, World War I. From the Men of Battalion 8.” Captain Frank looked at Art and said “You don’t really expect anyone to believe that yarn, do you?” What’s wrong with the story?
6. What is one thing that all wise men, regardless of their religion or politics, agree is between heaven and earth?
7. In what year did Christmas and New Years fall in the same year?
8. A woman from New York married ten different men from that city, yet she did not break any laws. None of these men died, and she was never divorced. How was this possible?
9. Why are 2004 American dollar bills worth more than 2003 American dollar bills?
10. How many times can you subtract the number 5 from 25?
11. How could you rearrange the letters in the words “new door” to make some new word? Note: There is only one correct answer.
12. Even if they are starving, natives living in the Arctic will never eat a penguin’s egg. Why not?
13. Which is correct to say; “The yolk of the egg are white” or “The yolk of the egg is white”?
14. In Okmulgee, Oklahoma, you cannot take a picture of a man with a wooden leg. Why not?
15. An electrician and a plumber were waiting in line for admission to the “International Home Show.” One of them was the father of the other’s son. How is this possible?
16. After the New Canon Law that took affect on November 27, 1983, would a Roman Catholic man be allowed to marry his widow’s sister?
17. How many outs are there in an inning of baseball?
18. How many animals of each sex did Moses take on the Ark?
19. A clerk in a butcher shop is 5'10" tall. What does he weigh?
20. A farmer has 17 sheep and all but 9 die. How many are left?
