#1 | A man and his son were in an automobile accident. The man died on the way to the hospital, but the boy was rushed into surgery. The emergency room surgeon said "I can't operate, that's my son!" How is this possible? |
#2 | A 10 foot rope ladder hangs over the side of a boat with the bottom rung on the surface of the water. The rungs are one foot apart, and the tide goes up at the rate of 6 inches per hour. How long will it be until three rungs are covered? |
#3 | Is it legal for a man to marry his widow's sister? |
#4 | If the Vice President of the United States should die, who would be President? |
#5 | A light-tight wooden box has three switches on the outside that control three light bulbs on the inside. When the box is closed you can turn the switches on or off but when you open the box how can you tell which switch controls each bulb without touching the switches (the box can only be opened once)? |

These are a bit easier than the last batch...
It appears that 'a bit easier' should a read 'quite a bit easier' as I already have 2 responses... It appears that my job for the next round is something not nearly as difficult as the last one, but a bit more difficult than this one... any suggestions?
I'd do regular trivia, but having the Internet so available (being on it and all), aquiring the answers would be a bit too easy unless everyone agreed to use their own knowledge.
Okay, I've recieved another response, just waiting on one more. I did recieve another threatening message from Mom (something about the next quiz better be medical or else). As of right now 2 of the responses are completely correct and 1 is about 1/2 correct. Good Luck.
I always use my own knowledge. By the way "receive" follows the rule of "i before e, except after c". (Hope that doesn't cost me points.)
Okay, okay, receive... Better!
Just tryin' to keep it interesting... not trying to cause any brain tumors, I promise.
Okay, I decided not to post everyone's answers and just post the actual answers and the points...
Answers:
1. His mother is the surgeon.
2. The boat rises with the tide so none should be covered.
3. The man is dead, so its not possible.
4. The president.
5. Turn on 2, then turn off 1 before you open the box. One will be off and cool, one will be off and hot and one will be on.
OR
5. Turn on 1, let it sit for a few minutes, turn it off then turn another one on and open the box. 1 will be hot and off, one lit, and one not lit and cool.
Points:
Jimmy - 5 for all right and 1 more for being the first one to respond with the right answers.
Top Dog - 5 for getting them all right.
Mama's House - 2 for getting 2 right.
Gleezus - nada :(
