Pugwash Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 If boiling water is poured into a thick drinking glass as well as a very thin wine glass, of the two, which is more likely to crack? Explain. A wine glass will expand more evenly and not crack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornerstone Posted August 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 Wot’s my prize? JTB Well fine sir, for you we have...two tickets... And, of course, had you actually got the answer right, I would have also given you the Tardis that goes with them! A wine glass will expand more evenly and not crack. And to Pugwsh, the Tardis. Well almost... Because glass conducts heat poorly, the thicker glass starts expanding unevenly, one side faster than the other. While I find another question, this one is still out there. It's even multiple choice. And it's not (a). Under what conditions would a rope be most likely to break? a. 20 men of equal strength with 10 pulling on each end. b. 10 of the same men pulling on one end and the other end being fastened to a tree. c.

cornerstone Posted August 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 A man of few words....WINNER! Does anyone even care why c was right? No? Okay, moving on... Barney Dribble is carrying a pillow case full of feathers. Hardy Pyle is carrying three pillow cases the same size as Barney's, yet Hardy's load is lighter. How can this be?

Ah the memories! JTB Let's just say I had a hunch. The avatar helped. Very cool! Ah, 1975. The haircuts. The shoes. The troosers. Hardy has only got the pillow cases. i.e. nowt inside them. JTB WINNER! And you find out that cornerstone was sitting in row E in the stalls 30 years later.............ships in the night. Ken Not quite! I was a bit wee for The Who concerts in 1975. Still, I did a fine job of raging around, screaming at the top of my lungs and smashing stuff up. So maybe in spirit I was there. This is a bit different: Often talked of, never seen, Ever coming, never been, Daily looked for, never here, Still approaching, coming near. Thousands for it's visit wait But alas for their fate, Tho' they expect me to appear, They will never find me here. What is the poem about? And no, it's not my ex's libido.

cornerstone Posted August 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 And apologies...tomorrow is how long it took me to reply! (sometimes I think there is a detector in my chair linked to a buzzer and flashing light in the baby's room, I sit down, "waaaaaaaa"). Aye, joint winners on that one I think - it could be a lot of things, couldn't it? But the answer was 'tomorrow'. WINNERS! Again, this is a bit different: John F Kennedy was the youngest person elected to the presidency. How did it come about that he was the second-youngest man to hold this office?

KB Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 Ok I know Roosevelt was the youngest President so I can only assume that there was a lapse of time between Kenndy's election and his Inaugurated. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irongambit Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 I just got back from an interview, so I've missed a few. Ken is right about TR. McKinley was assassinated by an anarchist, so TR took the reins. Oh, on the rope thing, as Ken said, C is right because either way, only 10 men worth of force is on either side of the rope.

Right, and right!! Hope the interview went well! Every Tuesday evening Hardy Pyle drives up to his cottage to visit his wife. On these weekly visits he drops off the clean clothes and picks up the dirty laundry. Since Mrs Pyle changes her underwear each morning, what is the minimum number of underwear she can own?

KB Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 The easy answer would be 7 but that would only cover the knickers add the bra's and it's 14 then corset's (?) and it's 21 and slips brings it up to 28 and then there is any number of womens frilly bits that I have forgotten Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KB Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 Yeah yeah Hardy takes a weeks worth with him and she still needs knickers until his return......................why don't I read these things more carefully.............and it wouldn't happen if Hardy would just visit his wife every night like the rest of us guys do.
