OR TRY TO ANSWAER SOME PLEASE IF YOU DO I'LL E-MAIL THE ANSWAERS

Answer 1

1. footsteps 2. coffin 3.The child was born before 1776 4. Mount Everest, it just hadn't been discovered 5.Clara lives in the northern hemisphere. 6. World War I wasn't called "World War I" until World War II. 7. The word "and". 8.They fall in the same year every year, New Year's Day just arrives very early in the year and Christmas arrives very late in the same year. 9.The lady was a Justice of the Peace. 10. One thousand nine hundred and ninety dollar bills are worth one dollar more than one thousand nine hundred and eighty-nine dollar bills. 11. Only once, then you are subtracting it from 20. 12. An hour and a half IS 90 minutes.13. "one word"
14. Penguins live in the Antarctic.15. Neither, the yolk of the egg is yellow.16. You have to take a picture of a man with a camera, not with a wooden leg.17. They were husband and wife. 18. He can't because he's dead. 21. incorrectly 22. 23:03 23. None, the boat rises with the tide. 24.White. If all the walls face south, the house is at the Northpole, and the bear, therefore, is a polar bear. 25. Three. It seems that it could almost be either, but if you follow the mathematical orders of operation, division is performed before addition. So... half of two is one. Then add two, and the answer is three. 26.Sloppy is a goldfish. The wind blew the shutters in, which knocked his goldfish-bowl off the table, and it broke, killing him. 27.None. No matter how big a hole is, it's still a hole: the absence of dirt. (And those of you who said 36 cubic feet are wrong for another reason, too. You would have needed the length measurement too. So you don't even know how much air is in the hole.) 28.Both questions, same answer: the ball in the bucket of 45 degree F water hits the bottom of the bucket first. The 30 degree F water is frozen, and the ball would stop when it hit the ice. 29.
The time and month/date/year are 12:34, 5/6/78. 30.An umbrella. 31. One. If he combines all of his haystacks, they all become one big stack.32.The temperature. 33. a shadow 35. Counterfeit money.36. A man with a wooden leg. 37. Takes over the chicken, returns, takes over the corn and returns with the chicken, takes over the fox, returns again for the chicken. 38.The horse he left on was named "Sunday" and the horse he returned on was named "Tuesday."

Answer 2

1 Time
2 Coffin
3 My guess would be that the baby was born before Mass. was a state or before the USA was a country.
4 Mount Everest; just because it had not been discovered doesn't mean it wasn't the largest.
5 She lives where it is summer time in December.
6 If it was presented after the battle, it would just say World War, not WWI. WWI was not called WWI until after WWII.
7
8They always fall in the same year
9 The woman was a preacher and married the men to other women.
10 Because if you have 1990 one dollar bills, you have $1990. If you have 1989 one dollar bills, you have $1989.
11 only once. then you subtract 5 from 20, then 5 from 15, etc.
12 an hour and a half is equal to 90 minutes.
13 new door = one word
14 I don't think penguins lay eggs. Do people actually live in the Arctic?
15 The correct answer is the yolk of the egg is yellow!
16 You need a camera to take a picture, not a wooden leg.
17They were a man and a woman who share a child.
18 No, if he has a widow, then he is dead.
21 incorrectly
22 No Clue!!!
23 0 the ladder rises with the boat.
24 white
25 3. Hallf of 2 is 1. 1 plus 2 is 3
26 Sloppy is a fish whose bowl was knocked over. Bowl broke, fish died.
27 No dirt is in a hole.
28 No Clue, guessing that there is no difference.
29 it 12:34, 5-6-78
30 an umbrella
31 if he combines them, he will have 1 stack
32
33
34
35 sounds similar to #2, maybe a coffin
36
37 1st trip= take the chicken. 2nd trip= go back and get the fox. 3rd trip= leave the fox and take the chicken. 4th trip= leave the chicken and take the corn 5th trip= leave the corn and return for the chicken.
38 The horse's name was either Sunday or Tuesday.

I couldn't get some of them.

Answer 3

A bowel movement (as in take a 'dump'.)

Coffin

The child was born when Massachusetts was still a British colony

Mt Everest was the highest mountain, we just didn't know it.

She lives in the Southern hemisphere.

Not sure, I think that there are not 8 battalions.

Don't know.

Every year.

She was a justice of the peace and married them to other women.

Because the buying power increased.

Once; the remainder is 20.

Ninety minutes IS an hour and a half.

new door = .one word

Penguins are from Antarctica.

neither, the yolk is usually yellow.

You take a man's picture with a camera.

They were husband and wife.

No, that man is dead.

Incorrectly.

Quarter to two.

None, the boat floats.

White; the house is at the North Pole.

By the rules of English, this is ambiguous. But by the order of operations in math, division takes precedence over addition, so it would be three.

Sloppy is a fish, the wind knocked over his fishbowl to the floor.

None; the dirt was taken FROM the hole.

Neither: they are too wide to reach the bottom of the bucket.

12:34 PM, 5/6/78

Umbrella

One big one.

A staircase.

Your shadow.

An STD...? I dont think that's the answer you were looking for, but it does seem to fit.

Man with a wooden leg.

Take the chicken across, leaving the fox and the corn. On the next trip, bring the fox but bring the chicken back. On the third trip, leave the chicken on the original side, bring the corn and leave it with the fox. Bring the chicken on the final trip.


Sunday and Tuesday are the names of two horses.

Thanks for posting these! I knew some, once I got into 'problem-solving mode', I could get others. They were all very good. What are the ones I missed?

Answer 4

steps

coffin

He was born during colonial times

Mount Everest would still be the tallest mountain whether discovered or not

She was born in the southern hemisphere

Don't know but I'd like to hear it

Clouds???

They fall in the same year every year

She was a justice of the peace or a minister or such

Cause you have a dollar more

Once after that the 25 becomes 20

??? It took the same amount of time

don't know

Penguins don't inhabit the Artic

Neither, because the yolk is yellow

Because a wooden leg does not take pictures

The other was the mother (almost got me until I wrote Gay Couple and then realized genders weren't mentioned)

Nope, I don't think dead people can get married

19 and 20 are missing

The word "incorrectly"

10:10 pm

3 I think, in the first 15 minutes the bottom rung shouldn't be underwater yet

White, you are in the north pole and it's a polar bear

Three (since there where no parenthesis)

The water would make me think about the whole ice thing so maybe he hung himself, but I don't know what the other things did

No dirt

Water at 30 degrees would be ice so I would say the one going into the 45 degree bucket

It would be 12345678

an umbrella

1 haystack

Temperature???

Sunlight???

No idea

Guy with a prosthetic leg????

Takes the chicken over, comes back for the corn, takes the corn over, brings the chicken back, takes the fox over and goes back for the chicken

Came back the next Tuesday??? Had the weekend off maybe??? Sunday and Tuesday were travel days??? I don't know
