Its hard but fun to do! i enjoyed doing it, took me 4 days to finish. Some i didnt know because i m not christian but everything else came to me gradually.
I recommend to everyone else to, as it is a good exercise for your brain, and its addicting because once u get the answer u r like duhhh, so simple.:D

yup i have used maxthos, sleipnir, chrome, mozilla, and now i m gonna try IE8. Chrome i didnt like as much because it got beaten by other browsers like maxthon and sleipnir as they had a lot less glitches when they came out. They are very similar and sometimes even better.

What is it with you and the metric system?
Anyways it doesnt matter, the answer can be derived without the use of any metric system:)

How about i restate 25:

Where can a man set out from his house, walk five miles due south, five miles due west, and five miles due north - and find himself back home? The original question: What color was the bear?

30. A large business firm was once planning to open a new branch in a certain city, and advertised positions for three clerks. Out of the number of applicants the personal manager selected three promising young men and addressed them in the following way: " Your salaries are to begin at a rate of $1000 per year, to be paid every half-year. If your work is satisfactory, and we keep you, your salaries will be raised. Which would you prefer, a raise of $150 per year or a raise of $50 every half-year?" The first two of the three applicants eagerly accepted the first alternative, but the third young man, after a moments reflection, took the second. He was promptly put in charge of the other two, Why?

31. A clock strikes six in 5 seconds. How long does it take to strike twelve?

32. A frog is at a bottom of a 30-foot well. Each hour he climbs 3 feet and slips back 2. How many hours does it take him to get out?

JFF i don't think i have posted a 27 yet. smile
Yet i agree with you! The puzzle was invented by Charles S. Dodgson or better known as Lewis Carroll.

27. A man drove his car 1 mile to the top of a mountain at the rate of 15 miles per hour. How fast must he drive 1 mile down the other side in order to average 30 miles per hour for the whole trip of 2 miles?

28. A bottle and its cork cost together $1.10. The bottle costs a dollar more than the cork. How much does the bottle cost?

29. Each of two apple women had 30 apples for sale. The first sold hers at the rate of 2 for a nickel, the second at the rate of 3 for a nickel. at the end of the day their respective receipts were 75 cents and 50 cents, or $1.25 in all. The next day the women decided to do business together, so they pooled their 60 apples and sold them at a rate of 5 for a dime( 2 for a nickel plus 3 for a nickel). Upon counting their joint receipts at the end of the day they were dismayed to find that they had only $1.20. They searched all about them for that other nickel, and wound up by bitterly accusing each other of having taken it. Where was it?
