4. What kills more people annually: lightning, tornadoes, hurricanes, flooding Flooding. lightning kills more people than any other weather phenomena except flooding

5. What is commonly added to salt before it is sold as table salt? Iodine

6. If you drilled a tunnel straight through the earth, so that it passes directly through the center and out to the other side, and then fell in, what would happen? (assume you are shielded from any heat/gasses outside the tunnel and can breathe normally) you would accelerate to the center, at which you would reach your maximum speed, then decelerate and almost reach the other side, then fall back again exactly like swinging a pendulum until you would eventually hover motionless in the middle. Would be sooooooooooooooo much fun!! The funnest thing I think any human could ever do. (provided you had a way out when it was over) I want to build one. Charge 1 million bucks per ride. Ha ha!

7. If you were suddenly teleported into space without a suit, what would happen, and would you explode? you would either burn up (if facing the sun) or turn to an instant popsicle. Your capillaries and your lungs would burst, as well as stuff oozing from your orifices, but you would not explode. You would die very rapidly

8. Why does Australia have summer in December and the US have summer in July? because of the tilt of the earth's axis. If the earth were not tilted, there would be no seasons. http://geography.about.com/library/misc/blwinter.htm

9. If a flatbed semi was moving 60 KPH down the freeway with his ramp down, and you drove up behind him at 65 KPH in a BMW, and drove up his ramp, what would happen? Your front tires, spinning at approximately 9 times per second, would strike the ramp, which is moving at 60 KPH. Your tires would continue to spin 9 times per second, hurling you forward and accelerating you rapidly. Think of it like this: your car is lifted off the ground. You spin the tires to 60 KPH, then drop the car. You would burn rubber and quickly accelerate. Performing this expirement would be highly dangerous since you probably would not be able to stop before you smashed the cab of the Semi truck.

10. What word or expression is represented below:

GIVE, GIVE, GIVE, GIVE, GET, GET, GET, GET Forgive and forget

11. Translate the following into a meaningful phrase :

If a large solid-hoofed mammal becomes available to you without compensation, refrain from casting your faculty for seeing into the oral cavity of such a creature. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth

12. Some months have 30 days, some have 31; how many months have 28 days? All of them

13. I have as many brothers as sisters. My brothers have twice as many sisters as brothers. How many of us are there? 7. 4 girls, three boys. The one speaking is a girl.

14. What is the 6th planet from the sun? Saturn

15. Name any popular prepared single-serving non-meat food, that if eaten exactly how it is served, could make you sick and cause harm. A jumbo pretzel plastered with thick, chunky rock salt.

16. Where does silk come from? Caterpillars

17. Why does a rubber ball bounce higher than a steel ball? When you drop a ball, the part that hits the ground "dents" and then "snaps back" in place causing a bounce. A rubber ball indents much more than steel, and then snaps back quickly. Steel, when dented, doesn't always snap back very well.

18. What makes cheddar cheese orange? Artificial coloring

19. Does the cocoa bean grow on the same plant that produces cocaine? cocaine comes from the coca leaf, the cocoa bean comes from the cacao tree- a different plant altogether

20. When you eat a piece of orange candy, and read that it is artifically flavored, even though it taste like orange, what is making it have the orange flavor? the same chemicals that give oranges their flavor http://www.sc.mahidol.ac.th/sclg/supports/ors245/md/p4.htm

GOOD JOB EVERYONE!

Okay... let me take a shot :P...:

1. Above.

2. Okay, they do.

3. 5 meters.

4. Tornadoes.

5. Something on Iod.... can't remember the english word for it...

6. Well, considering that the Earth does have gravity, I would first not get to the other side, but I'd stuck in the middle. And not only that, I would probably get squished by the pressure.

7. Space has no air, so I wouldn't be able to breath. Space is cold, so I would freeze of it. I would be penetrated by the Sun's radiation. The air I had inside me would be sucked out, space is lighter than air. Yes, I would probably explode.

8. Earth rotates vertically. This means that half the Earth has summer when the other half has winter. I think it was like 28 degrees or something...

9. The semi would probably be knocked back, my speed is greater than his.

10. Reminds me of trading: buy buy buy buy, sell sell sell sell... hehe, anyways...

11. Sex movie? No, just kidding, I don't know :P...

12. One.

13. Hmm... I remember this question from somewhere...

14. Saturn.

15. I think it was some japanese fish or something... but I remember that you just had to prepare it right, never that you had to eat it right lol... or something...

16. Small insects.

17. The steel ball is more solid, while the rubber is elastic and because of this it has more "movabillity"... I think it was so anyway...

18. Rust? :P

19. Yes. Well, why else the name cocoa/cocain, and why else this question? :P

20. Probably some magic tricks... no, just kidding..., I think it had to do with that there actually were orange"things" included... what, don't ask me, I only buy it :P...

I think #13 is ambiguous, because it does not say "my brothers have twice as many sisters as brothers, not including the brother that is the perspective." If counted how many in my family, I include myself.

Just check every possible number and you will see

x = brother

y = sister

t= total = x + y + 1(yourself)

there are 2 things you must have:

1. x = y, calculated from your point of view

2. x = 2y, calculated from your brother's point of view

t = 1, you're on your own. No brothers no sisters = false

t = 2, you can have only 1 y or 1 x = false

t = 3, you can have 1 brother and 1 sister, but your brother won't have any sisters if you are a boy, and won't have any brothers if you were a girl

t = 4, this number is excluded, for you must have a even amount of brothers/sisters

t = 5, you can have 2 brothers and 2 sisters, but your brother will have 3 sisters and 1 brother when you are a girl, and when you are a boy, your brother will have 2 sisters and 2 brothers

t = 6, this number is excluded, for you must have a even amount of brothers/sisters

t = 7, you can have 3 brothers and 3 sisters, when you are a girl, your brother will have 4 sisters, and 2 brothers = true!
