1. In the old recording format, how many grooves did a 33 r.p.m record have?

One groove from the beginning to the end.



2. Five rabbits were playing in a field. A hunter came along and shot one dead. How many rabbits stayed in the field?

None. The rest of them ran away.



3. A rope ladder was hanging over the side of a ship so that it just reached the water. Its rungs (steps) were nine inches apart. How many rungs were under water when the tide rose three feet?

None of them because the ladder rose with the ship.



4. Which is correct: "The white of the eggs is yellow" or "The whites of the eggs are yellow"?

Neither is correct. The "white" of an egg is not the "yellow" of an egg.



5. How long will an eight-day clock run without winding?

It won't run at all unless someone winds it.
