[csmaster2005]

Post your answers to the questions below:

1. Even when starving polar bears will not eat penguin eggs. Why?

2. I travel to all the corners of the globe yet remain in only one. What am I?

3. If you were to spell out numbers, how far would you have to go until you would find the letter "A"?

4. This breaks the moment it is uttered. What is it?

5. Who killed one quarter of mankind?

 

[TWM]

dunno, what are the answers

 

[Coastalguy]

1. Penguins don't lay eggs.
2. Don't know (yet)...No corners on a globe?... The sun?
3. There is not an "A" in "numbers" (if that is not the correct answer than you would have to go to 101...one hundred And one).
4. Silence
5. Don't know (yet)...God?

How'd I do?

[csmaster2005]

aww you ruined it, wanted to see what other members would say for #1. How'd you figure it out?
Also, #3 is right.

Maybe another more intelligent member can figure out the rest? :tu: :lol: j/k heh

 

[RJ]

I'll attempt the rest.


1. Even when starving polar bears will not eat penguin eggs. Why?

They taste awful.

2. I travel to all the corners of the globe yet remain in only one. What am I?

????



3. If you were to spell out numbers, how far would you have to go until you would find the letter "A"?

One Thousand!

5. Who killed one quarter of mankind?

AOL

 

[Coastalguy]

Just had to think a bit more for #1. Have fried all my brain cells. #2 and #5 are up for grabs folks!

ST

 

[RJ]

But would a starving polar bear eat a penguin egg?

I think #5 has to do with fleas and/or rats and not AOL as I previously speculated.

 

[csmaster2005]

heh, i'll tell you it isn't AOL
Comeon RJ, I know you're smarter than that

#2 and #5 haven't been solved yet.. think guys!

 

[Coastalguy]

Any hints?

#2 The moon?
#5 "Who" implies a person or persons...Is it a biblical answer?

My head hurts,
ST

 

[csmaster2005]

ok i'll give some hints.
#2 - think of something that gets sent everywhere, or is required as part of something

#5 - it is a person, and is ancient

 

[Coastalguy]

#2 A stamp!

Come on RJ. I'm counting on you to get #5 (no pressure).

:hehe:

Cain killed his brother Abel when there were only four humans on Earth.

Is that it? :D

 

[csmaster2005]

Good job Chap! Cain IS the answer
Cain killed his brother Abel. They were the sons of Adam and Eve. These were the first 4 people on Earth (no religious debate please) so by killing Abel Cain did away with 1/4 of the population.

and yes, #2 is a stamp!
See how intelligent the NP community is?

 

[Coastalguy]

Thanks for the hints!

That was kinda fun,
