1. The word “incorrectly”

2. 1:45. The man gave away a total of 25 cents. He divided it between two people. Therefore, he gave a quarter to two.

3. None, the boat rises with the tide.

4. White. If all the walls face south, the house is at the North pole, and the bear, therefore, is a polar bear.

5. Three. Well, 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.

6. Sloppy is a (gold)fish. The wind blew the shutters in, which knocked his goldfish-bowl off the table, and it broke, killing him. {Poor Sloppy.}

7. 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.)

8. Both questions, same answer: the ball in the bucket of 45 degree F water hits the bottom of the bucket last. Did you think that the water in the 30 degree F bucket is frozen? Think again. The question said nothing about that bucket having anything in it. Therefore, there is no water (or ice) to slow the ball down…

9. The time and month/date/year American style calendar are 12:34, 5/6/78.

10. An umbrella.

11. One. If he combines all of his haystacks, they all become one big stack.

12. The temperature.

1. Incorrectly.

2. A quarter to 2 (1:45)

3. None. The ladder rises with the boat which rises with the water.

4. White. It's a polar bear.

5. It could be either one depending on how you write it. 1/2(2+2)=2 but 1/2(2) + 2=3

6. Sloppy is a fish, the wind knocked the fishbowl off of the table which caused it to break hence the glass and Sloppy died because he didn't have water.

7. None. There is no dirt in holes.

8. The bowling ball in the 45 degree bucket. The other bucket would be a bucket of ice.

9. Correct date: 12:34 5/6/1978

10. An Umbrella.

11. One big haystack.

12. The temperature.
