I have not yet read Erics answers, I will do so after I post my own, in white ofcourse, and see how ours compare.




1. Two men are playing chess. Each won the same number of games (5) out of all 5 games they played. No draws. How can you figure this?
jThey are not playing against each other

2. A man is living in New York. Why can't he be buried west of the Mississippi River?
Well, he is still alive, so let's not bury him just yet

3. A man builds a house in which all four walls have southern exposure. A big bear wanders by. What color is the bear?

well, in order for all four walls to be facing south, the house needs to be at the North Pole, so the bear, a polar bear, is white

4. If you take two apples from a man with three apples, what do you have left?
You have only the two apples that you took

5. There are 17 sheep. If all but nine dies, how many sheep will be left?
This one confused me...is it something to do with "dies" rather than "die"? If not, then there are 9 sheep left
