Remember: Have an independent reading book ready to go by Monday and have a spiral notebook just for English.
Let’s GOOOO!
Period Four – Day Two
Mental Floss: (Every Friday)Brain teasers and trick questions to scrape the mucous off your brain before a test. Purely extra credit. NO penalty for wrong answers, so you may as well guess. If it looks like a trick, it probably is.
- You have two coins that total 15 cents, but one of them is not a nickel. How is that possible?
- What is the volume of dirt in a hole 6 feet long, 8 feet deep, and 4 feet wide?
- A farmer had seventeen sheep; all but nine died. How many are left?
- What heavy six letter word can you take one letter away from and have eight left?
- You are in a mountain cabin, and it is freezing and dark. The cabin has an old gas lantern, a wood burning stove, and an oil burning heater. You have only one match. Which do you light first?
- A fish weighs 10 pounds plus half its weight. How much does it weigh?(Not a trick; just math.)
