1. Some months have 30 days, some months have 31 days. How many months have 28 days?

 

All of 'em.

 

2. If a doctor gives you 3 pills and tells you to take one pill every half hour, how long would it be before all the pills had been taken?

 

An hour - one pill now, 2nd half-hr later, and final pill one hour after present. Of course, in the Sg context, you'd have the patient hopping to another GP and complaining about the old low khoon's lousy medicine.

 

3. I went to bed at eight 8 'clock in the evening and wound up my clock and set the alarm to sound at nine 9 'clock in the morning. How many hours sleep would I get before being awoken by the alarm?

 

One lousy hour, because you're so suaku you still use a windup clock.

 

4. Divide 30 by half and add ten. What do you get?

 

70. I think PSLE students have harder trick questions than this.

 

5. A farmer had 17 sheep. All but 9 died. How many live sheep were left?

 

Nine. Wonder what the farmer was doing with his sheep.

 

6. If you had only one match and entered a COLD and DARK room, where there was an oil heater, an oil lamp and a candle, which would you light first?

 

You mean apart from the match?

 

7. A man builds a house with four sides of rectangular construction, each side having a southern exposure. A big bear comes along. What color is the bear?

 

White. Of course, it would be turning red if it attacked the idiot building a house in its territory right on the North Pole.

 

8. Take 2 apples from 3 apples. What do you have?

 

Two apples. And an irate shopkeeper.

 

9. How many animals of each species did Moses take with him in the Ark?

 

I don't think Moses built the Ark, not even in the wildly inaccurate film version of the Ten Commandments.

 

10. If you drove a bus with 43 people on board from Chicago and stopped at Pittsburgh to pick up 7 more people and drop off 5 passengers and at

Cleveland to drop off 8 passengers and pick up 4 more and eventually arrive at Philadelphia 20 hours later, what's the name of the driver?

 

I'm not telling you my name, unless you're a chiobu and you buy me a drink first. Oh alright, Turboflat4.

 

How I did ah?

Alright, here are the standard answers. Some got 10/10...

 

 

Answers:

1. All of them. Every month has at least 28 days

2. 1 hour. If you take a pill at 1 o'clock, then another at 1.30 and the last at 2'clock, they will be taken in 1 hour.

3. 1 hour. It is a wind up alarm clock which cannot discriminate between a.m. and p.m.

5. 9 live sheep.

6. The match.

7. White.
