The answers...

Tough Test 3 - Answers

1. Sixteen (Sweet 16, as a matter of fact.)

2. Mr. Brown doesn’t wear a brown tie, as that is his name. He can’t be wearing a white tie, since he questioned the man wearing the white tie. Therefore, he must be wearing a red tie. Mr. White’s tie can’t be white, so it must be brown. That leaves only the white tie, which must be worn by Mr. Red.

3. Bordens (They were the contented cows.)

4. Green

5. Chicago

6. One and one quarter

7. Nat “King” cole

8. The canvas must be 10 inches in width, and 20 inches in height, the picture itself 6 inches wide and 12 inches in height. The margins would then be as required.

9. Lost In Space

10. Your word
