Lateral thinking Quiz
Ok this i a quiz where you sometimes have to think out of the box!
Read the questions carefully and answer as many as you can (i don't mind if its only 1!)
I will give you an example!
Q1. Andy ran Halfway into a forest in half an hour. Martin claimed he had gone two thirds of the way into the forest at the same time, but Andy said that was impossible! Why?
A. You can only run halfway into the forest. After that you are running out of the forest!
ok here are the questions! If you could put the number of the question first e.g. Q2 followed by your answer!
Q2. When asked who a certain photograph was of, the owner replied: "I have neither sister nor brother, but my mother's daughter is that man's mother"- Who was in the photograph?
Q3. If it rained 40 days and 40 nights, and the animals entered in pairs at a rate of 30 pairs an day, how many days did it take Moses to get all 360 animals onto the ark?
Q4. What occurs once in June, once in July, but twice in August?
Q5. 2 Scrabble champions played 5 games of Scrabble. Each won and lost the same number of games and there were no draws. How is this possible?
Q6. Add 2 to 171 and make it less than 18.
Q7. You enter a deserted house late at night. Inside there is an oil lamp, a gas fire and a stove full of wood. You only have one match however, so which should you light first?
Q8. 2 fathers and 2 sons enter a shop and spend £1.50 each. The shopkeeper takes £4.50. What happened to the rest?
Q9. An aircraft carrying 60 Mexican lawyers to a convention in Rio, crached and landed directly on the border between Columbia, Venezuela and Brazil. Under International law, where should the survivours be buried?
Q10. When a boat is at anchor, 5 of the rungs on the rope ladder over its side are underwater. If the rungs are 30cm apart and each one is 3cm thick, how many rungs would be underwater 4 hours later, if the tide rises at 35cm per hour?
I will display the answers when i feel there has been enough time for people to look at the questions and answer them or if you ask after a couple of days after the last person to have a go post his/her answers!
good luck!

Re: Lateral thinking Quiz
Q. Ok your stuck on some crazy Death Island modded by Gemma. Its a long thin island with death trap cliffs all around and a sea of fire all around the island. You are stood in the center. The wind is blowing in your face and to your horror you can first smell then see the dry vegitation at one end of the island is on fire!. The fire is coming straight for you. How can you avoid being burnt to death.... No hogs, shee, tanks or health packs. The whole Island is quickly becoming one of Gemmas fire pits, what can you do?

Re: Lateral thinking Quiz
Facing the fire - burn the Island behind you, the wind will blow the fire to the end of the island.
Ones the 1st fire gets to you the land is allready burned.
