W.A.L.L.Y. Quiz III, the wrath of Vash

Vashan the Hunter · Post by **Vashan the Hunter** » Mon Mar 01, 2004 11:39 am

OK, I know that the two WALLY threads were similar, but c'mon people!

Guessing is fine! Let's have more than 4 responses!

Again, you Dasarians did well. All 5 answers were guessed correctly, just not by one person.

WALLY II answers:

1. February, it has the least days

2. One, then it isn't empty.

3. Meat, he's a butcher, get it?

4. An egg! His mother would also be correct.

5. Without winding it will not run at all!

NOW FOR WALLY QUIZ III

1. If a ton of coal costs $30 and a ton of Coke (the soda) costs $25, what will a ton of firewood come to?

2. Removing an appendix is called an appendectomy, removing tonsils is called a tonsillectomy. What is it called when they remove growth from your head?

3. Why are US soldiers forbidden from carrying rifles any longer?

4. What three things that you can eat can you never have for breakfast?

5. If a farmer raises wheat in dry weather, what does he raise in wet weather?

Once again, the 1000 gp prize is up for grabs for the first to get all 5 correct.

Good luck to ya!

1. If a ton of coal costs $30 and a ton of Coke (the soda) costs $25, what will a ton of firewood come to?

Ashes

2. Removing an appendix is called an appendectomy, removing tonsils is called a tonsillectomy. What is it called when they remove growth from your head?

A beheading

3. Why are US soldiers forbidden from carrying rifles any longer?

Because the rifles they have are just the right length.

4. What three things that you can eat can you never have for breakfast?

Lunch, dinner, brunch, supper, or midnight snack. I guess it depends on what it is called where you are at.

5. If a farmer raises wheat in dry weather, what does he raise in wet weather?

Even if rains he still is raising wheat.

Dont know if those are correct, but hey, who cares?

Awww, I vote for beheading as well Aurora

Well, I am positive that the answer to number two is "haircut" ( I should know that one since I do it all the time!

)

And I'm pretty sure the farmer in number 5 raises an umbrella.

In number one, I have no idea except that a ton of firewood would come to a pretty large pile ..hah.

I suppose one could eat crow and humble pie or eat one's words...beats me.

Have no idea why soldiers can't carry rifles any longer...maybe they would hit each other in the head if theywere too long?

*Goes back now and looks at everyone else's answers* Oh, I like Aurora's best! And drat..i forgot how much a ton weighed...

i would guess firewood can't come to anything- it has no legs you see

See how much fun out of the box thinking can be? The rest of you... chime in!

Aurora Damodred · Post by **Aurora Damodred** » Mon Mar 01, 2004 2:15 pm

Oh, wait, I just thought of something. Actually, you said you would give 1000 gold to the first person who got them all right right? Well, technically speaking, with out of the box thinking it is impossible to be wrong, since there is no longer any boundry on logic. So therefore the first person who posted would be the first person to have them all correct if they answered all 5 questions. How is that for out of the box?

I beg to differ. Out-of-the-box thinking still follows a logical progression, otherwise, it would just be a "damned fool idea".

Ok fine :P

Hmmm... lets see..... "Come to" huh?

If you mean "come to" in the sense of cost... It depends on the grade of firewood (hardwood or softwood) and also how wet or dry it is. Also, firewood is normally sold by volume, not weight. The unit is cord. A cord costs about $100 and weights about 2 tons. So a ton of firewood costs about $50.

If you mean "come to" in the sense of accelerate towards.... Like any other earth-bound object, it would accelerate towards the center of the earth.

If you mean "come to" in the sense of product after inceneration... Actually, since I'm sure you know that mass is conserved - the ashes that remain are only a tiny fraction of what the firewood "came to". The majority of the firewood bonded with diatomic oxygen to become carbon dioxide.

The name given to removing "growth from your head" depends on the growth. Some possibilities:
1) Haircut
2) Scalping
3) Lobotomy
4) Brushing/Flossing
5) Piercing
6) Exfoiliating
7) Beheading

Us soldiers are prohibited from carrying non-standard arms because of the logistics of stocking and supplying ammunition and replacement components.

Farmers generally plant their crops depending on the historical weather patterns. Crops are planted for a entire growing season; most growing seasons are annual. I don't know of any farmers who would plow up a field just because it started raining. So he would still be raising wheat in wet weather. If the weather change was somehow permenant, it given the soil and temperature requirements of wheat - I would recommend cotton, assuming he wants to maximize his income.

Stand amazed at the answers to your questions! Somehoe though, I don't think you were looking for answers... :/

hahah ;)

1. If a ton of coal costs $30 and a ton of Coke (the soda) costs $25, what will a ton of firewood come to? A jail sentence of 7 years for arson. well come on people what the hell was i supposed to do with a sodding ton of firewood? And was it my fault it was stacked by the police station.. well yes it was because that’s where i asked them to stack it.. but sheesh...

2. Removing an appendix is called an appendectomy, removing tonsils is called a tonsillectomy. What is it called when they remove growth from your head? A headoctomy. Strange but true - a term that covers the removal of all facial growths except nasal hair.

3. Why are US soldiers forbidden from carrying rifles any longer? Because they keep shooting the wrong people.

4. What three things that you can eat can you never have for breakfast?
Kippers.. man they stink.. coffee.. it smells good but tastes rank.. Tea forever! Feta cheese.. if people where meant to eat goats milk products then goats wouldn't be so objectionable.

5. If a farmer raises wheat in dry weather, what does he raise in wet weather? He raises wet.. its like wheat but without the h and the a.

ROFL Loki! Great answers! Dasarian insanity strikes again.

Ok Mad Season, after looking at Loki's post, you want to reevualate your response about logical progression?
