Brain Teasers
Questions:
1. There is one word in the English language that is always pronounced incorrectly. What is it?
2. A man gave one son 10 cents and another son was given 15 cents. What time is it?
3. A boat has a ladder that has six rungs, each rung is one foot apart. The bottom rung is one foot from the water.
The tide rises at 12 inches every 15 minutes. High tide peaks in one hour. When the tide is at it's highest, how many
rungs are under water?
4. There is a house with four walls. Each wall faces south. There is a window in each wall. A bear walks by one of the
windows. What color is the bear?
5. Is half of two plus two equal to two or three?
6. There is a room. The shutters are blowing in. There is broken glass on the floor. There is water on the floor. You
find Sloppy dead on the floor. Who is Sloppy? How did Sloppy die?
7. How much dirt would be in a hole 6 feet deep and 6 feet wide that has been dug with a square edged shovel?
8. If I were in Hawaii and dropped a bowling ball in a bucket of water which is 45 degrees F, and dropped another ball
of the same weight, mass, and size in a bucket at 30 degrees F, both of them at the same time, which ball would hit
the bottom of the bucket first? Same question, but the location is in Canada?
9. What is the significance of the following: The year is 1978, thirty-four minutes past noon on May 6th.
10. What can go up a chimney down, but can't go down a chimney up? (hint... chim chimminy)
11. If a farmer has 5 haystacks in one field and 4 haystacks in the other field, how many haystacks would he have if
he combined them all in the center field?
12. What is it that goes up and goes down but does not move?
Answers:
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.

'Leap second' will extend new year celebrations
The IrelandOn-Line wirtes:
Next year will be arriving late – thanks to a slowing down of the Earth’s rotation.
To compensate for the effect, a “leap second” is to be added to the end of December 31.
It means the traditional New Year’s Eve countdown will now end at 00.00.01.
The decision was taken by the International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service, based at the Paris Observatory.
Leap seconds were first introduced in 1972, but this is the first to be applied for seven years.
Normal clocks are based on Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), the world standard since 1884, which is tied to Sun’s position in relation to the Greenwich Meridian - the zero line of longitude.
The resulting “Universal Time” depends on the rotation of the Earth on its axis.
But the speed at which the Earth spins is continually changing, partly due to varying weather patterns and geological disturbances, but mostly because of the friction of tides.
This results in a small but continuous slowing down, so that the day is now about two milliseconds longer than it was 200 years ago.
Leap seconds were introduced to keep “clock time” and “Sun time” in step.
The International Telecommunications Union has recently proposed abolishing leap seconds to avoid the problem of updating communication and navigation systems.
But scientists oppose the move. A spokesman for the Royal Astronomical Society said: “Quite apart from professional scientists, such as astronomers, who might be adversely affected by such a change, over hundreds of years the civil time would not longer coincide, even approximately, with the ‘Sun time’ traditionally shown on a sundial.
“Even over a few decades, when the error might grow to up to a half minute or so, one can imagine the arguments that lawyers and insurance companies might have about whether an event had occurred just before or just after midnight.
“And in today’s modern electronic era differences of seconds between different people’s interpretation of the correct time might sometimes lead to a dispute.”
The Royal Astronomical Society has recommended that any decision to change the way time is recorded should not be left to a single professional body but follow a public debate.

Getting Started
Ok so this web thing is pretty kwl, easy way to kick your thoughts and findings into cyberspace. For this blog I think I am going to stay anonymous.
