			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I know it&#8217;s been awhile, but I&#8217;ve a lot of things going on&#8230;<br />
Here&#8217;s some all new material.</p>
<p>1. 62 = 49. You may move the digits however and wherever you choose, but you may not add or remove any digits or symbols. Make the equation correct. (alert: math)<br />
2. If it takes 5 birds 5 minutes to catch 5 bugs, how long would it take for 1000 birds to catch 1000 bugs? (alert: math)<br />
3. A man was 35 years old in the year 1935. In the year 1945, he was 25 years old. How is that possible? (alert: social studies)<br />
4. What US state has the name of another US state in it?  (alert: geography &#8211; not a trick)<br />
5. This little dialogue is called &#8220;Pi.&#8221;  Why? (alert: math)<br />
&#8220;Can I have a chewy chocolate to devour?&#8221; asked Kat.<br />
Uncle answered, &#8220;Certainly dearest Katherine. Can we get anything else?&#8221;<br />
&#8220;Really?&#8221;<br />
&#8220;Of course, dear!&#8221;<br />
&#8220;Pie!&#8221;</p>
<p>6. Two sisters walked up to a house. They were dressed in dirty clothes, and did their best to look starving. They knocked on the door, and when it was answered, the elder sister spoke,<br />
     &#8220;We are in need of money. My name is Jamie, and this is my little sister Dot,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Our mother died giving birth to me, and our father died just recently after a long illness. We are out of money and starving. Would you be so kind as to give us money?&#8221;<br />
     The lady who answered the door thought for just a minute, and then said, &#8220;You are lying. I will not give you any money.&#8221;<br />
     How did she know?</p>

1. I have three of the same digit. Added together they make twelve. The digit is not 4. What is it?<br />
2. Why do black sheep eat less grass overall than white sheep?<br />
3.Without rearranging the letters that follow, make a word that is intelligible (that means understandable; in other words, a real word) by adding three more letters.   NTGB<br />
4. How can 1 and 5 = 4?<br />
5. I&#8217;m the best jumper in the school. I can jump the highest and the longest. But when Mr. Coward laid a pencil on the ground and told me to jump over it, I tried and I tried, and I just couldn&#8217;t. Why?</p>
