W.A.L.L.Y. test part II

[Vashan the Hunter]

The answers from the first time around were:

1. 1 3/7. Twice the half of anything is itself.

2. 0. Peacocks do not lay eggs. Peahens do.

3. 0. There is no earth in a hole.

4. The same way as short cows. (nice Mel)

5. On the side of her head!


See how out of the box thinking works!



Now, for the 2nd round!

1. In what month do Americans eat the least (for you non-Americans... I didn't make the quiz).

2. How many marbles can you put into an empty bag?

3. A butcher stands 6 feet tall, has a 46-inch chest, and wears size 14 shoes. What do you think he weighs?

4. If a duck came swimmimg down the Nile, where would it have come from?

5. How long will a seven-day grandfather clock run without winding?


As with last time the first to get all 5 right will get 1000 gold.

Last time we had a few with 4 right. Nice job Mel, the DM, and Galley Cat!

Good Luck to all!

1. February - it has fewer days.
2. One. After that it's not empty any more.
3. Meat.
4. An egg. Or possibly "up the Nile".
5. Clocks don't run. Lack of legs.

1. In what month do Americans eat the least (for you non-Americans... I didn't make the quiz).
Least is not a food. Yeah it's just a guess.

2. How many marbles can you put into an empty bag?
1. It's no longer empty after that.

3. A butcher stands 6 feet tall, has a 46-inch chest, and wears size 14 shoes. What do you think he weighs?
Meat

4. If a duck came swimmimg down the Nile, where would it have come from?
An Egg

5. How long will a seven-day grandfather clock run without winding?
It won't work without winding.

[GoJo Ryu]

1. In what month do Americans eat the least (for you non-Americans... I didn't make the quiz).

A month of Sunday's or February

2. How many marbles can you put into an empty bag?

1 then it isn't empty any more

3. A butcher stands 6 feet tall, has a 46-inch chest, and wears size 14 shoes. What do you think he weighs?

Meat.

4. If a duck came swimmimg down the Nile, where would it have come from?

Duck's don't swim. They float and paddle with their feet

5. How long will a seven-day grandfather clock run without winding?

Won't run without winding (you don't wind grandfather clocks they use a weight system)

The answers from the first time around were:
2. 0. Peacocks do not lay eggs. Peahens do.

I know you didn't make the quiz, but I quote the original question...

2. If two peacocks lay two eggs in two days, how many eggs can one peacock lay in four days?

The writer screwed the pooch on that one and invalidated his own question. By his own admission, two peacocks were laying eggs...can't change the rules after the question is asked.

1. In what month do Americans eat the least (for you non-Americans... I didn't make the quiz).

For the lack of a clever answer, I guess I'd have to say February, for as pointed out, it has fewer days in which to eat...although a logically faulty answer.

2. How many marbles can you put into an empty bag?

Zero...I can easily demonstrate putting more than one marble in a bag at once, simultaneously. And even if you put only one in it, it still is no longer and "empty bag".

3. A butcher stands 6 feet tall, has a 46-inch chest, and wears size 14 shoes. What do you think he weighs?

Majority rules....meat.

4. If a duck came swimmimg down the Nile, where would it have come from?

An egg, or the south, depending on your interpretation of the question (the Nile flows from south to north, so coming down the Nile would be heading north).

5. How long will a seven-day grandfather clock run without winding?

Without winding, it won't run at all.

2. 0. Peacocks do not lay eggs. Peahens do.

Your question is flawed then.

2. If two peacocks lay two eggs in two days, how many eggs can one peacock lay in four days?

If peacocks do not lay eggs, how did two of them lay two eggs in two days?

In the box or out, a riddle requires consistency.

[Vashan the Hunter]

In or out of a damn box I didn't make the quiz!

By the way, Kell got that question right.

...and, good work Kell!

[Kell]

By the way, I want to object against a question from the former quiz. The one about Queen Cleopatra. There is no Queen named like that. She was a Pharao! I really object against the answer "on the side of her head". It's wrong! I demand revision!

[Vashan the Hunter]

Sorry Kell, Cleo was most definitely a queen.

[Kell]

That's like calling Tzar Nicolas II a king. I disagree!

[Rekaan]

King and queen are simply generic titles for monarchs of the appropriate gender. Cleopatra was a queen. Nicolas was a king. Yes, specifically Cleopatra was a Pharaoh. That means she was the monarchic head of her country, thus by definition a queen.

Deal with it.
