Question 1

9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 = 99

Question 2

What was the biggest ocean in the world before Balboa discovered the Pacific Ocean?

Question 3

What animal eats with its tail?

Question 4

Two people were accused of murder. In the court trial, one had been acquitted and the other had been found guilty. When the judge had to sentence the guilty man, he said: “This is the strangest case that I have ever presided over. Even though you have been found guilty, the law obliges me to set you free.” Can you explain this?

Question 5

Above you is a rope attached to a shower head. You make a bet with our friend. The two of you will take turns standing in the shower and give the rope a single pull; the first person to get wet has to buy dinner. You know that the shower works properly on three consecutive pulls of the rope. After those three pulls, it takes another three to reset the shower, during which the shower stays dry. You don’t know where the shower is in its cycle. Should you go first or second?
