Answer: "bread." If you said "toast," then give up now and go do something else. Try not to hurt yourself. If you said, "bread," go to Question 2.

2. Say "silk" five times. Now spell " silk." What do cows drink?

Answer: Cows drink water. If you said "milk," please do not attempt the next question. Your brain is obviously over stressed and may even overheat.

It may be that you need to content yourself with reading something more appropriate such as Children's World. If you said "water"


Then proceed to question 3.

3. If a red house is made from red bricks and a blue house is made from blue bricks and a pink house is made from pink bricks and a black house is made from black bricks, what is a green house made from?

Answer: Greenhouses are made from glass. If you said "green bricks," what the devil are you still doing here reading these questions??? ?? If you said "glass,"

Then! Go on to Question 4.

4. Its twenty years ago, and a plane is flying at 20,000 feet over Germany(If you will recall, Germanyat the time was politically divided into West Germanyand East Germany.)


Anyway, during the flight, TWO of the engines fail. The pilot, realizing that the last remaining engine is also failing, decides on a crash landing procedure. Unfortunately the engine fails before he has time and the plane fatally crashes smack in the middle of "no man's land" between East Germanyand West Germany.

Where would you bury the survivors? East Germanyor West Germanyor in "no man's land"?

Answer: You don't, of course, bury survivors. If you said ANYTHING else,

You are a real dunce and you must NEVER try to rescue anyone from a plane crash. Your efforts would not be appreciated. If you said, "Don't bury the survivors",

Then proceed to the next question.

In Sweden, two people get off and four get on. In Cardiff, 11 people get off and 16 people get on.

In Swansea, three people get off and five people get on In Carmarthen, six people get off and three get on. You then arrive at MilfordHaven. What was the name of the bus driver?

Thanks so much for the help guys. >:(
OK, I've skipped #2.
For #3 I answered green glass bricks -- is 1/3-credit allowed? :-[
#4, Oh, Lord, help me! I've got the survivors buried under the debris from the wall and some mangled aircraft parts -- someone want to help me dig them out?
Can't go to #5 right now -- it'll be a while before we can get everyone out of here; we'll probably need a bus.
:P

Why would anyone in their right mind willingy go to Milford Haven????

I got them all.....(BPB)

There are however some ambiguities....

Baby cows do drink Milk....

All houses are made of red bricks....then the houses are painted....

To be honest...if A plane fatally crashes that implied noone survived....so even if you did bury the survivors there wouldnt be any ;)

OK, #5, on the bus. Had to dig up all that debris, was bussed across the channel; I'm tired, my vision blurred, then you wanted me to drive the bus out of London? I've got no idea who was driving when it arrived in Miliford Haven; I stumbled off in Cardiff... took a boat home.
Maybe we should forget #2, we've milked this enough.
:P
