1. In which month does Santa Claus eat the least?
2. At the North Pole you cannot take a picture of an elf with a red shirt. Why not?
3. What kind of water never freezes?
4. What do reindeer have that no other animals on earth have?
5. Assume that penguins live with a density of 1,000 penguins per square mile and can run at an average speed of 7 miles per hour on land and swim at 20 miles per hour. Also assume that a polar bear has a territory of 10 square miles, can run at 25 miles per hour and swim at 10 miles per hour, how many penguins will an average polar bear eat in any given month, remembering that a polar bear could, as a maximum, only eat one penguin per hour and 7% of the land is next to the sea.
6. Farmer Stone has 6 pigs, 4 chickens and 3 cows. Farmer Morton has 5 pigs, 3 chickens and 5 cows. How many of Farmer Stone's animals can say they are the same animal as Farmer Morton's?
7. In the olden days, a man rode into town on his horse. He arrived on Monday, spent six days in town and left on Friday. How is that possible?
8. How many legs does an elephant have if you call its trunk a leg?
9. Which is greater, the number of grooves on one side of a vinyl record (if you can remember them!) or the number of days in the year?
10. Why do scuba divers always fall backwards out of the boat?
-
A couple to get things started.
I will ignore number 5 and allow someone else to calculate it to 0.37 of a penguin and then be proved wrong.
7. The horse is called Friday
9. There is only one groove on each side of a record so there are more days in a year.
-
Regarding number 5: don't bother calculating anything - polar bears cannot eat penguins since penguins live in the Antarctic, polar bears in the Arctic.
Number 2 - I've never managed to take pictures with a red shirt and find that cameras are the best for that kind of thing.
Number 8 - Doesn't matter what you call it's trunk (Fred, for instance), elephants still only have four legs.

1: February, it has fewer days
3: Boiling water :crazy:

1. In which month does Santa Claus eat the least?
Santa Claus doesn't exist (and the saint on which he was based lived and died many centuries ago). If he did exist, I'd go with cosworth151's answer.
2. At the North Pole you cannot take a picture of an elf with a red shirt. Why not?
The North Pole hasn't got any elves, red-shirted or otherwise. Besides, the probability of
an elf being dumb enough to stand in the freezing cold with only a shirt on would be frozen solid. Not to mention I wouldn't have the manual dexterity to take a picture of anything with thick gloves on!
4. What do reindeer have that no other animals on earth have?
A rein?
5. Assume that penguins live with a density of 1,000 penguins per square mile and can run at an average speed of 7 miles per hour on land and swim at 20 miles per hour. Also assume that a polar bear has a territory of 10 square miles, can run at 25 miles per hour and swim at 10 miles per hour, how many penguins will an average polar bear eat in any given month, remembering that a polar bear could, as a maximum, only eat one penguin per hour and 7% of the land is next to the sea.
Assuming that this was a land where both polar bears and penguins lived (i.e, not on real Earth - Chameleon's already pointed out that it would take a lot of air miles for at least one species!), none. All the penguins would live in the sea, drink the salt water and eat the fish in the sea, and the polar bears would never catch them. The penguin chicks would have to live in a surface huddle or something until they'd fledged.
6. Farmer Stone has 6 pigs, 4 chickens and 3 cows. Farmer Morton has 5 pigs, 3 chickens and 5 cows. How many of Farmer Stone's animals can say they are the same animal as Farmer Morton's?
None. They're all different animals, even the ones from the same species (which is to say all of them are the same species as Farmer Morton's).
8. How many legs does an elephant have if you call its trunk a leg?
Four.

Santa Claus doesn't exist
Guess who will be getting a lump of coal for Christmas this year? :nono:

:DD Some coal would actually be quite useful at my house at the moment...
