Check these teasers out; have not figured out an easy way to tally these up without everyone else seeing your answers, so just reply here and I will amend this post in a couple of days with the REAL answers and we can see who got what right... :)

1. If a red house is made from red bricks and a yellow house is made from yellow bricks, what is a greenhouse made from?

2.Maggie Mathematical has five sons. One is called Alpha, another is called Beta, the third is called Gamma and the fourth is called Fred. What is the fifth son's name.

3. According to the American Constitution, in order to become President of the United States there are only five pre-requisites. The candidate must:

1. be at least 35 years old.
2. be a citizen of the United States.
3. have resided in the United States for at least 14 years.
4. have been born in the United States

What is the fifth requirement?

4. Why do scuba divers always fall backwards out of the boat?

5. We live in a large tower block, 10 floors high. My 5 year old son goes to school each day using the lift from the 10th floor to the ground floor. However, when he returns in the evening, he uses the lift to get to the 5th floor and then uses the stairs for the remaining 5 floors. Why?

6. What year comes next in this sequence:

1973 1979 1987 1993 1997 1999


Hope you all enjoy this type of thing ;) and good luck :D

As for the scuba diver thingy, isnt that so the seal does not break on the scuba mask (so water does not get in?)
