A worm can gnaw through 1 mm of paper for a single day. On a bookshelf there are two volumes, each 4 cm thick. Each of the covers is 2 mm thick. How long will it take the warm to gnaw from the first page of the first volume to the last page of the second volume?

90 miles/h
120 miles/h

Question 3:


A driver noticed that the dashboard showed he had driven a total number of 15951 miles.

Can these three hunters ever get out of the pit without the help of anyone else or of any additional object?

Question 6:


In the Middle Ages a thief went into a church and fell asleep on a pew. He dreamed about stealing the cross of the minister and being sentenced to execution for that.

Is everything okay with the story?

Question 8:


A tribe had a special way to count. They used the hands of their deity. Once the chief said that in the tribe there were 16 women and 13 men, 32 persons in total. How many were the hands of the deity?


Question 9:


One of these pairs of numbers has this strange characteristic - when you subtract one of them from the other you get a number equal to what you will get if you divide one by the other. Can you spot it?
