Trick questions

OK then.

[FX: sound of bottom of barrel being scraped]

What animal has four legs and flies ?

A dead horse? If you are interested I have one I'm trying to flog.

Open floor?

If so: You go out of your house and then walk a mile south then a mile east then a mile north, you end up back at your front door. Where do you live?

The North Pole.

 

[Kingston Flyer]

The North Pole.

You can't walk north from the north pole

So, I would say south pole

 

[Zoe]

You can't walk north from the north pole

The person walked south first.

 

[Kingston Flyer]

The person walked south first.

Right you are

That'll teach me to speed read

By the time you get back to your house you find you've turned through one radian.

 

[Buttsy]

Zoe's correct.

What is the largest city in Britain?

 

[Deerfold]

What is the largest city in Britain?

Does it keep Dublin?

 

[Zoe]

Does it keep Dublin?

No it does not.

 

[Schnellzug]

it's obviously not London, because that's divided into the City of London, the City of Westminster, and then all the different republics, if that's the right word. So i might say Birmingham, although from the phrasing of the question, I wonder if we're talking about size in terms of area, in which case I wouldn't like to say. Perhaps Birmingham still.

 

[Zoe]

Birmingham is correct, your turn. They key part of the question was that what most people call "London" isn't actually a city itself.

 

[Deerfold]

I think you mean boroughs

 

[Schnellzug]

could be, although we'll see what Ken might decide if he gets back in.

Anyway, I need time to think about something devious, so if and until then, anyone else who wants to can have a go.

What was the first sataiite to orbit earth?

 

[Deerfold]

What was the first sataiite to orbit earth?

Luna, the moon (unless Cruithne is older).

 

[Zoe]

What was the first sataiite to orbit earth?

The Moon or Luna. Deerfold's turn though (if this is correct) as they posted first.

 

[Eagle]

Luna, the moon (unless Cruithne is older).

Cruithne doesn't orbit the Earth. It's an asteroid that orbits the Sun.

 

[Deerfold]

Cruithne doesn't orbit the Earth. It's an asteroid that orbits the Sun.

True, but it does appear to go round the earth - just with a rather irregular orbit.

Have we any confrimation from Yew of the answer he wanted?

ok just to keep this thread going.
Noone knows what Adam and Eve looked like (no recorded images of them) yet if you saw them you would know who they are instantly............why?

 

[Eagle]

Lack of belly buttons?

 

[Clint]

Lack of belly buttons?

That's got to be it!

 

[Deerfold]

Lack of belly buttons?

That assumes they are exposing them.

Either you are God or you are Adam or Eve (because there are no other humans at the time)

Maybe you could have a mirror 3000 light years away and a very good telescope

 

[Class172]

True, but it does appear to go round the earth - just with a rather irregular orbit.

That's because it orbits the Sun in a 1:1 resonance with the Earth; due to its orbit it appears to have a 'horseshoe-shaped' orbit from Earth.
