i've decided to lighten the mood a little here, try some of these questions on for size 1.) if one=3, two=3, three=5, and four=4... what does five + six =??? 2.) take me from there, and i end up here... what am i? 3.) bill and ben go down to the beach to collect sea shells. They take one bag with them. How many shells can they put in the empty bag? 4.) Before Sir Rihard Burton attempted to discover the source of the Nile, which was the world's longest river? 5.) what does a zamboni do during half-time in a game of ice hockey? we'll leave it at that for now

i've decided to lighten the mood a little here, try some of these questions on for size

1.) if one=3, two=3, three=5, and four=4... what does five + six =??? 7

2.) take me from there, and i end up here... what am i? t

3.) bill and ben go down to the beach to collect sea shells. They take one bag with them. How many shells can they put in the empty bag? 1. After that the bag is no longer empty.

4.) Before Sir Rihard Burton attempted to discover the source of the Nile, which was the world's longest river? The Amazon, untraced, but still the longest.

5.) what does a zamboni do during half-time in a game of ice hockey? It melts the top layer of ice and lets it refreeze as a smoother flatter surface. The Zamboni ice resurfacer is named after it's inventor Frank Joseph Zamboni, Jr.

we'll leave it at that for now

correct

2.) take me from there, and i end up here... what am i?
t
correct

correct
4.) Before Sir Rihard Burton attempted to discover the source of the Nile, which was the world's longest river?
The Amazon, untraced, but still the longest.
still the nile, just because it's source wasn't yet discovered, doesn't make it any shorter

5.) what does a zamboni do during half-time in a game of ice hockey?
It melts the top layer of ice and lets it refreeze as a smoother flatter surface. The Zamboni ice resurfacer is named after it's inventor Frank Joseph Zamboni, Jr.
it does nothing, ice-hockey doesn't have half-time

we'll leave it at that for now

i hoped more would bite but oh well,

A bit controversial this one but...

'STORY/ATMOSPHERE: Well, it's only Ice Hockey, so there's no real story, but the game does have some cute atmosphere. I like how the zambonis come out at half-time to clean the rink, although after seeing it a few dozen times, I wish there was a way to skip it. The players getting into fights is always good for a laugh. It definitely has the feeling of being at a "kids'" hockey game, because the players are so small and there are no NHL licenses.'

International In Line Hockey

This type of ice hockey has a half time in real life.
