I didn't bother here because I don't get baseball.

WTF?

70.

7) If there are 3 apples and you take away 2, how many do you have?

I have 2. There's still 1 on the table.

One.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Rambo', '
')10) How many animals of each sex did Moses take on the ark?


Even if this wasn't a trick question with Moses tossed in there the answer isn't that clear!

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '
')Genesis 6:19
You are to bring into the ark two of all living creatures, male and female, to keep them alive with you.

Genesis 7:2-3
Take with you seven of every kind of clean animal, a male and its mate, and two of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate, and also seven of every kind of bird, male and female, to keep their various kinds alive throughout the earth.


So, technically Noah brought both seven and one at the same time. Depending on how you read it, it could also mean 3.5. What was he smoking when he decided to mess with quantum physics like that? :)

Says the man who posts a day after the answers are given.

I don't hate to be rude, but it's not a knowlege test, it's a mental dexterity test. The idea is to answer many trick questions as quickly as possible and see how you do.

Is it legal for a man to marry his widow's sister?

With "his widow" you would conclude that they were married and he is dead. However, being dead robs him of the capacity to possess anything, much less his still-living wife. If he is dead, she is not "his" widow, just a widow.

Because of the way the question is worded, I conclude he is still alive, and "his" widow might refer to owning her, like chattel. Slavery is obviously illegal. But marrying his slave's sister, nothing inherently illegal in that.

Yes.
