1) How much soil is there in a hole measuring one metre by one metre by one metre?

2) Would a steel ball travel faster through water at 25c or -5c?

3) There are 5 apples in a basket and five people in a room. How can you give an apple to each person in the room and yet leave one apple in the basket.

4) A fishing boat is lying in the harbour. There is a rope ladder hanging over the side with its end touching the water. The rungs of the ladder are 1 metre apart and the tide is rising at 50 centimetres an hour.
At the end of 6 hours, how many of the rungs will be covered?

5) A man dressed all in black is walking down a country lane. Suddenly a large black car without any lights on comes round the corner and screeches to a halt.

7) A pilot is flying a helicopter around a large equilateral triangular course, with way-points labelled A, B and C. To fly from point A to point B takes him one hour and twenty minutes. To fly from point B to point C takes him another one hour and twenty minutes. However, to fly from point C back to point A ONLY takes him eighty minutes. Since the pilot maintained a constant speed all the way, how did he achieve this?

8) A man lives in a normal house, but the four sides each face south. From inside the man sees a bear. What colour is the bear?

4. "Lying in the harbour", ie aground not moored. Answer depends on draught of vessel. Dont say the ladder floats.

Pogo · 29-03-2006

That ladder must be designed for acrobats! 1 METERE BETWEEN RUNGS?
