Mental Floss

  1. What comes with a motorcycle, is not needed by the motorcycle, yet the motorcycle can't run without it?
  2. Read the story to see if you can figure it out:  The police already knew the getaway car was red or blue. Luckily, Charlie saw the robbery and was able to tell them. Charlie's brother later told some friends what had happened. "Charlie said the car was blue," he said. The problem is that one brother always tells the truth, the other always tells lies, but we don't know which is which. Was the robber's car red or blue?
  3. What does this represent? (2 word answer.)

  4. 1. Jenny drowned Frosted Flakes.
    2. Joe buried Cap'n Crunch.
    3. Andrew threw Rice Krispies off a cliff.
    4. Emily shot Cocoa Puffs.
  5. If you balanced a broom horizontally on your finger, so that your finger was exactly on the broom's center of gravity, marked that spot and cut the broom in two, then you would have a long and a short piece. The long piece being most of the handle and the short piece being the bristle end and a small part of the handle. Now what will happen if you weigh both pieces? (Alert: Science)

  6. A) The short piece will weigh more.
    B) The long piece will weigh more.
    C) Both will weigh the same.
  7. Wacky Wordies. The colors are not part of the clues. 
    a)    b)  c)  d) 

 

Test #13. #46 = False
You will (should) also notice the ease of the Roots section. Hmmmm. That was my bad and you should take advantage of it and not "look a gift horse in the mouth."
