1. Never. Every second cycle their right fee will go forward together, but never their left.


2. When jedwards received the first bowl, he tasted it and found it to be quite bland. Consequently he salted it rather heavily. When the waiter returned the bowl of stew and jedwards tasted it, he found it to have allready been salted.


3. Neither. Since they are flying off the coast of South America, both objects will hit the ocean.


4. Since there are only two barbers in town, it is safe to assume that the barbers would cut each other's hair. This being the case, Mickey should sit down in the chair of the barber who has the awful haircut.


5. Karry Queen is a dwarf. He is only able to reach as high as the 25th floor button on the elevator, unless he has his umbrella.


6. A desert is a region so arid that it supports little or no vegetation. Many areas of the far north are also considered deserts, which is where Jack made his ten day crossing. He survived by eating ice and snow.

Well the first one is wrong and the last one is dumb.

1. A man and a boy who are walking together step out with their right feet first. The boy walks three paces while the man walks two. When will they both put their left feet forward together? Explain.
1. Never. Every second cycle their right fee will go forward together, but never their left.
This is wrong. The boy walks R-L-R and the man walks R-L. *Then* the boy walks L-R-L and the man walks R-L. On the boy's 6th step and the man's 4th they are Left and Left. End of story.

6. It is impossible for anyone to survive longer than one week without drinking, yet Jack managed a ten day desert crossing without finding water or bringing any along. How was this possible?
6. A desert is a region so arid that it supports little or no vegetation. Many areas of the far north are also considered deserts, which is where Jack made his ten day crossing. He survived by eating ice and snow.
This is true but dumb. Yes I know that Antarctica is a desert or nearly so and has little precipitation as are the desert regions of northern Asia and North America. This makes it true. But there are many many other wordplay solutions (such as the one I posed). Why not 'he found oases' or 'it was the desert east of LA and he stayed in a hotel in Palm Springs.

I like the other four though and I'm annoyed at myself for not getting them.
