Can you answer them all?





1. If i have 5 apples and i take away two, how many apples do i have?








2. If a tree falls in a forest and no none is around to hear it does it make a sound? and how do you spell it?








3. Which wieghs more, a pound of metal, or a pound of feathers?








4. 3 men were standing under 1 small umbrella, but none got wet. Why?








5.How quickly can you find out what is unusual about this paragraph? It looks so ordinary that you would think that nothing was wrong with it at all, and in fact, nothing is. But it is unusual. Why? If you study it and think about it you may find out, but I am not going to assist you in any way. You must do it without coaching. No doubt if you work at it for long, it will dawn on you. I don't know. Now, go to work and try your luck.








Good luck! (Number 5 is one paragraph)
