I am seriously thinking of pulling the trigger......oh, wait. Wrong website.

This was one of the toughest questions so far, I've had it up my sleeve for over a week. But there can only be one winner - and it is VICTORY @ PUGWASH That's not just for the correct answer, but also the best explanation. Using his 10cl cup: JUG 1 = 100 cl milk JUG 2 = 100 cl SANGRIA The cup of Sangria is put into the milk JUG 1 = 100 cl milk, 10 cl sangria JUG 2 = 90 cl of Sangria The cup from Jug 1 is 10/11 milk, 1/11 sangria. So we deduct that from jug 1, and add it to jug 2 JUG 1 = 90.91 cl milk, 9.091 cl sangria JUG 2 = 90.91 cl sangria, 9.091 cl milk Sam is in prison and planning his escape. The cell he is in measures 3m by 3m by 3m. The walls are made of reinforced concrete and they extend 2m beneath the dirt floor. The only openings in the cell are a locked door and a skylight 1m in diametre. Sam thinks he has found a way to escape so he begins digging a tunnel. He knows he can't tunnel himself out, but digging a tunnel is crucial for his plan. How does he plan to escape?

No one has quite nailed this one yet...

What fathers learn the hard way: If any of those things happen to mother, they're working overtime next week. You can't put jelly in a pool and walk on water, but it does work with custard - so that's a top tip if you're bored.

WINNER!! That wasn't an easy one, so kudos! I think the time he saves going faster downstream doesn't compensate for the extra time he spent going slower upstream. Picture a litre of milk and a litre of Sangria. A cup of Sangria is poured into the milk and mixed thoroughly. Then, a cup of this mixture is poured back into the Sangria. Is the amount of Sangria now in the milk more, less, or the same as the amount of milk in Sangria?

Your question, you award the winner!! When I first read that question I started totting up rounds, until I realised that it was matches. Today is red day, obviously Suppose there is a river that has no current. Buck Shot got into his canoe and paddled upstream from his dock to the river's bend five km away. At that point he turned around and paddled back to his dock. He checked his watch and saw that the trip took 40 minutes. Now, suppose the river has a current of two km per hour, and Buck makes exactly the same trip. With the river flowing at two km per hour, will the trip be longer than 40 minutes, shorter than 40 minutes, or will it take the same amount of time?

Until two minutes ago I didn't even know there was a polite entendre!

WINNER!! How many cubic metres of dirt are in a hole 6 metres long, 2 metres wide, and 1 metre deep?

Working... (Huge deadline at the end of August ) But until then - question time! Justin Summers walks up and down a hill which is 6 km for a round trip. His dog being slower, walks at half the speed. When Justin reaches the top of the hill he turns around and walks down meeting his dog part way. Justin continues walking to the bottom of the hill at the same speed. The dog follows him, also maintaining his original speed. How far does the dog walk?

Hey - the picture just changed.

It's not that twisted! Not yet - that was the first time I'd seen it. Will keep an eye out now!

"It's good but it's not right!" Amazing new sig BTW!

WINNER!! I agree, the idea of real people running for ten minutes straight is at the hypothetical fantasy end of the spectrum based on my life experience As for ten km....running? Here we go: Ari and Charles took turns driving on a round trip using the same route both ways. Ari drove the first 40 km and then Charles drove the rest of the way. Ari started to drive on the return trip and then Charles drove the last 50km. Which of the two drove more km and how many more did he drive?

GOAL!! Yes - WINNER!! Since a person uses about the same amount of energy walking for ten km as running for ten km, would a person use more energy running for ten minutes, walking for ten minutes, or is the same amount of energy spent?

WINNER!! It happened in midtown Manhattan during the July 4th celebrations, that Sam walked several km from West 32nd Street all the way to West 63rd Street without seeing anyone or being seen by anyone. It was a clear sunny day and he could see where he was going. He did not use any disguise or unusual method of transportation. Even though Manhattan was swarming with people not one person saw him. How could this be possible?

WINNER!! Jim Queep works on the 35th floor of an office tower. Most mornings Jim will ride the elevator as far as the 25th floor, then climb the stairs to the 35th. On mornings when it's raining, however, he will always ride the elevator to the 35th floor. Since Jim is neither fond of exercise nor superstitious, what could be the reason for this rather bizarre behaviour?

WINNER!! This question was next, normally I would say it's rubbish and discard it, but it's watch / clock related, so here it is for giggles... As a rule, how long will a so-called 'Eight Day Clock' run without winding?

Good answers!! But there can only be one winner....they were musicians! WINNER@ Melvin!! What is very unusual about the following words? BOUGH COUGH DOUGH ROUGH THROUGH

Gotta love Australia... This is tonight's news (from AAP) Miss Universe finalist fined for pie theft A finalist in the Miss Universe Australia pageant has been fined $300 in Perth for stealing pies from a supermarket. Model and part-time TV presenter Edwina Joyce Nattrass... pleaded guilty today in the Perth Magistrates Court to stealing three pies in Perth on July 7.

Yeah, it's a sad tale of drinking and womanizing. A bottle of tequila before an episode of Red Faces, a drunken 1-1 start score, and it was gong time for his 100% record.... WINNER@Irongambit!! A riddler for you poker fiends out there (and everyone else! ) Four men sat down to play, They played all night 'till break of day, They played for gold and not for fun, With separate scores for everyone, When they came to square accounts, They had all made fair amounts. Can you the paradox explain, If no one lost, how could all gain?

.....GENIUS! WINNER! The Amazing Jason, the famous magician, claims he can tell the score of any football game before it even starts. Many think he is psychic and possesses supernatural powers. How is it that he can be accurate about the score 99 per cent of the time?

Welcome!! Personally I don't stress about watch winding, perhaps others do.

Hold your horses..... Hold it...... Holding them....? Ah you're right! WINNER!! While lounging in the bath, Hardy decided to play with his two foot long plastic boat which was filled with metal nuts and bolts. While 'playing' he accidentally tipped the boat over, dumping the contents into the water. With the nuts and bolts in the water, will the water level in the bathtub rise, fall or stay the same as it was when the nuts and bolts were in the boat?

WINNER!! This is a most unusual paragraph. How quickly can you find out what is so unusual about it? It looks so ordinary you'd think nothing was wrong with it - and in fact, nothing is wrong with it. It is unusual though. Why? Study it, think about it, and you may find out. Try to do it without coaching (or Googling). If you work at it for a bit it will dawn on you. So jump to it and try your skill at figuring it out. Good luck - don't blow your cool!
