3)I'm bigger than you

[IceQuake]

14) scrambled eggs?

[Dearest Candice]

3)I'm bigger than you

I think you're right. Dotted you too!
See, I probably could have got that one if I hadn't got liquored up last night!!

[Dearest Candice]

14) scrambled eggs?

That seems correct.

I knew you guys were smart.:)

[IceQuake]

25) I (this one seemed too easy, so I'm probably wrong?)

[oblivion]

27)e

[oblivion]

26)envelope

[IceQuake]

[IceQuake]

[Dearest Candice]

#16- I ran into him

Thanks Ann who is not stupider than a fox.

[oblivion]

8) painless operation

[YosemiteBear]

I edited my answer though. "Over" makes more sense than "into" if you think of it as an actual math equation...

I shouldn't have started reading this thread right before bed.

[Ben]

I dunno... 6 = ONCE means ELEVEN in Spanish, 4:56 5 + 6 = 11. Is that it?

[Dearest Candice]

haha! I have to go to bed too. I'll come back tomarrow when all the @forumz brains solve it for me. Then I'll e-mail Tracy the answers, pretending I did it all by myself. :D

[IceQuake]

oops... "holey underwear" is not that... it's "hole in my underwear"
:e

[Dearest Candice]

8) painless operation

Yup!!

Thanks guys. I appreciate it. All of you.:)

12) keep inside the circle?

[Marco]

Yes. I'm one stupid dumbfuck.

[IceQuake]

Yes. I'm one stupid dumbfuck.

Is this another brain teaser? ;G

[Marco]

LOL! Nope, my brain is dead from attempting to do the previous ones to no avail. I'm really quite stupid.

[TheSkeptic]

25 = NOON
27 = envelope

Oooh, I worked out 8!

It's "painless operation"
(the letters, p,a,i,n are missing from operation.)

Matt :O

[TheSkeptic]

Ok, so if you write out 5, you spell it
FIVE.
Take away half of it, (the F and E) and you're left with IV, which is Roman Numeral IV??? I dunno if that's how you do it though. Ok, must work now!
Matt :O

Thanks again for the help.


Thought that I would bump this up since some were having so much fun with trivia. Here are some new mind teasers:

(1) There's one "sport" in which neither the spectators nor the participants know the score or the leader until the contest ends. What is it?

(2) What famous North American landmark is constantly moving backward?

(3) Of all vegetables, only two can live to produce on their own for several growing seasons. All other vegetables must be replanted every year. What are the only two perennial vegetables?

(4) Name the only sport in which the ball is always in possession of the team on defense, and the offensive team can score without touching the ball?

(5) What fruit has its seeds on the outside?

[TheSkeptic]

No, 26 is envelope :) begins with an e, ends with an e and contains one letter (as in the written kind, not the alphabet.)

27 is because every one of those words begins with e??

Your new questions,
5 is a strawberry :)

MAtt :O

MAtt :O

Now I get why it's envelope, since you explained it. :D

You got #5 right too.

[TheSkeptic]

Is 4 baseball???

Matt :O

[Dearest Candice]

Is 4 baseball???

Matt :O

Yes.:)

#1 is boxing.

[Dillinger]

(2) What famous North American landmark is constantly moving backward?

Niagra Falls

[mjk_pushit_mjk]

"NOON" is not the same upside down. The only possible answers that I can think of are BOB, BOOB, and DID.

[IceQuake]

on the new one...#3- isn't one of them asparagus?
I didn't/don't know any of these except 5! I like the first ones best! They made me feel smart!!! :e

[mjk_pushit_mjk]

I knew all those by the way, from both sets of questions.

[TheSkeptic]

"NOON" is not the same upside down. The only possible answers that I can think of are BOB, BOOB, and DID.
it is the same upside down mate! And it is the answer. I've known that one since I was a kid.

Matt :O

It appears that you are incorrect. Flip the N, and the slash .. \ will appear as so .. / [bang]

I can only think of OH

[TheSkeptic]

You don't "mirror image" it...you "turn" it upside down.
