  I'm not sure if this is belongs in the Joke Section or here, little bit of both...
Here are some trick questions, i'll give the answers later if no one get them...

1.   I have two coins making 55 cents, but one is not a nickle, how is that possible?

2.   Mr. and Mrs. Smith have 6 daughters, and each daughter has a brother, how many members are in the family?

3.   How much dirt is there in a hole that is 3 foot in diameter and 6 feet deep?

4.   Some months have 31 days, some have 30, how many have 28 days?

5.   In the United States, is it legal for a man to marry his widow's sister?

6.   A 10 foot ladder is hanging over a boat, and the botton ring is sitting at the surface. If each ring is 1 foot apart, and the water rises 6 inches an hour, how long will it be until all 3 rings are under water?

7.   Why are 1977 pennies worth more than 1976 pennies?

8.   What is 5 divided by 1/2 plus 3?

9.   What word in the English language does nearly everone pernounce incorrectly?

10.  Which is correct?  The blackboards IS white / the blackboards ARE white?

   If someone gets these before you do, you can still use them on friends and family!  Grin

Heres something different. You might want to right this down with a pen...

I tried doing this on here, but too hard, so I just did it on Photoshop. Heres a picture.

...

Now heres the rules...  (not a trick game)

This game is 1 through 5.

You can only use th numbers 1 thru 5 for the whole row or column.

so you can only have one 5 or one 3 all the way across or down. With me?

And you can only use one number once each each sector. Marked with the "bold" outlining.

...

(Such as this) Going good so far, but then you have two 3's in the same row. Awww. Same goes for horizontal and same sector.

If your still confused let me know, otherwise, try to figure out both sides!

1: dunno

2: 9

3: none

4: 12

5: He's dead. (I cheated on this one  Roll Eyes)

6: Don't understand  Embarrassed

7: Dunno

8: 13

9: This answer is asuming you misspelled "pronounce."  Otherwise, "pronouce" is my answer:  This could be many words, but I guess I'll have to say that if everyone pronounces it incorrectly, the "correct" pronounciation is archaic.

10: Neither. grammatically speaking, the second one would be correct if the t in "the" were capitalized.  But since blackboards aren't white, then then both sentences would be incorrect regardless of grammar.
