irongambit Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 Moses built an ark too I knew I shouldn't have missed so much religious studies. Ken Yeah...problem was that all he brought were sticks and serpents. It was called "SNAKES ON AN ARK" and will be rehashed by Michael Bay starring Ben Affleck.

cornerstone Posted August 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 Moses built an ark too I knew I shouldn't have missed so much religious studies. Ken WINNER!! Apologies for leaving you with such a crap question. How many times do the hour and minute hand cross each other in a twelve hour period? (Start at 12:00 noon and count that as once).

KB Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 Ok I'm a sucker..........I'll say 12 because in the last hour they don't cross. But I know that's too easy to be right. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everybody knows that both Christmas day and New Year's day fall on the same day of the week. However, in 1939, the year of the outbreak of World War II, Christmas fell on a Monday, and New Year's fell on a Sunday. Why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pugwash Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 Everybody knows that both Christmas day and New Year's day fall on the same day of the week. However, in 1939, the year of the outbreak of World War II, Christmas fell on a Monday, and New Year's fell on a Sunday. Why? Ok, that's a very, very misleading statement. Christmas falls on one day and then, next year, 7 days later, you get new year, so to say "Christmas day and New Year's day fall on the same day of the week" is not at all correct unless you mean in different years. In 1939, New Years day fell on a Sunday, just like Christmas 1938. In 1940, New Years day fell on a Monday, just like Christmas 1939.

There are also two kings not counted as they were never crowned, ie Edward VIII and Edward V. Mary (of William and Mary fame) is included as she shared a coronation with William III, an event unusual enough to merit recognition. Will that do or are you going to say "But none of them was crowned in England, ha ha ha." or something similar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cornerstone Posted August 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 (edited) I should give up a hint since the rest of the question is essentially a history one not a logic one: they call it the 'UK' now, not England. I wonder why... EDIT: By the way, is the forum time messed up for anyone else? For me it says 9.17 am when it's 4.05 pm (and it's set to Australian EST in my settings?)
