I don't give rewards considering i'm relly poor but here goes 1.) It's more powerful than God. It's more evil than the devil. The poor have it. The rich need it. If you eat it, you'll die. What am I ~Answered 2.) The paragraph below is most unusual. How quickly can you find out what is so unusual about it? It looks so ordinary you'd think nothing was wrong with it - and in fact, nothing is wrong with it. It is unusual though. Why? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Gatsby was walking back from a visit down in Branton Hill's manufacturing district on a Saturday night. A busy day's traffic had had its noisy run; and with not many folks in sight, His Honor got along without having to stop to grasp a hand, or talk; for a mayor out of City Hall is a shining mark for any politician. And so, coming to Broadway, a booming bass drum and sounds of singing, told of a small Salvation Army unit carrying on amidst Broadway's night shopping crowds. Gatsby, walking towards that group, saw a young girl, back toward him, just finishing a long, soulful oration ... " The above passage is taken from the book "Gatsby" written by Ernest Vincent Wright in the late 1930's 3.) A horse is tied to a 15 ft. rope and there is a bail of hay 25 ft. away from him. Yet the horse is able to eat from the bail of hay. How is this possible ~answered 4.) A man walks into a bar and asks for a glass of water. The bartender pulls out a shotgun and points it at him. The man says, thank you and leaves. 5.) Easy- You are right next to a river and have a 5 gallon container and a 3 gallon container. You need to measure out 1 gallon of water. How do you do it? ~answered 6.) If u get this wrong i'll dm u till u cry (no i won't i don't wanna get banned =P) - How much dirt is in a hole 6 and a half feet wide, 8 feet deep, and 5 feet long ~answered |

Mines eaiser for Number 5 Fill the 3 Gallon, fill up the 5 gallon with 3 gallons, then fill up the 3 gallon again, and put water into the 5 gallon until its full. You then have one gallon left over in the 3 gallon. |

Question #4 The man needed a cure for his hickups, originally being the glass of water. When the bartender pulled a shotgun on the man, his hickups were scared away. The bartender then realized that the man he was pointing a shotgun at was Maxwell Murder but took a shot to the head before he could do anything about it. |
