1: Do they have a 4th of July in England?
Yes, but they don't celebrate Independence Day on that date.

All of them.

How can he? He's dead.

6: Divide 30 by 1/2 and add 10. What is the answer?

3. However you have 1 LEFT in the pile that once had three.

8: A doctor gives you three pills telling you to take one every half hour. How many minutes would the pills last?
1 hour. You take one immediately, take one at the half hour mark and take one at the hour mark.

9.

10: How many animals of each sex did Moses take on the ark?
Moses had an ark? And I suppose Noah had the Ten Commandments.

It's a baseball question. Each team has 3 outs in an inning. Since each team gets a turn at bat...2 x 3 = 6. Got it?

How can number 7 be 3? It never said that you owned the pile of apples. Plus, since you take 2 of the apples in the pile, you now have 2 apples and there is one apple in the pile that you do not have. So, I think the answer should be 2, not 3.

EDIT: Okay, after re-reading this, I thought that Mediascribe had posted "the official answers". Anyway, the answer is still 2.
