What animal comes next in the series?
Giraffe Elephant Tiger Snake Gnu Oryx Anoa ___________
A. Chipmunk
D. Tomcat
The number of letters of each animal corresponds to the number of the letters in each month. And the first letters spell “Gets Goat”.
January / Giraffe = 7 letters

I serve many, confirmed by how healthy those I serve are. Yet after they’re successful they forget about me. It’s true, sometimes I hit them and they’re often bloody, but they don’t mind.
What am I?
A doctor (more specifically, an obstetrician) or a midwife. They deliver thousands of healthy babies but they are soon forgotten. Sometimes they smack the baby on the butt to clear the airway, and newborn babies can have blood on them from the placenta being pulled from the walls of the uterus or from an episiotomy.

Round and round and round it goes,
A spinning wheel. It goes around in circles and makes the thread that is used in clothing and anyone who isn’t wearing clothes would be barer boned.

What number belongs at the beginning of this sequence?
?, 3, 2, 3, 9, 2, 4, 8, 4, 3, 7, 6
3 ½.
If you break up the numbers into groups of 4, a,b,c,d, then 2 × |a – d| = |b – c|.
9 2 4 8 → 2 × |9 – 8| = |2 – 4|, or 2 × 1 = 2
I’m not sure this is the correct solution, but it’s the best I’ve found so far. Email me if you know of a better one.

What 5-digit number satisfies the following requirements?
1. No zeroes
33264.
There are several ways of solving this. One way is to represent each spot with a letter, A – E.
Then you have these equations:
A = B
By simplifying, you get:
4 * A + 3 * C = 18
Plug in values for A and C to find that A = 3 C = 2.

You are given eight coins and told that one of them is counterfeit. The counterfeit one is slightly heavier than the other seven. Otherwise, the coins look identical. Using a simple balance scale, how can you determine which coin is counterfeit using the scale only twice?
First weigh three coins against three others. If the weights are equal, weigh the remaining two against each other. The heavier one is the counterfeit. If one of the groups of three is heavier, weigh two of those coins against each other. If one is heavier, it’s the counterfeit. If they’re equal weight, the third coin is the counterfeit.

Physicists have built devices to make me move quickly. My last eight letters can be commonly found in newspapers, magazines, and journals.
What am I?
Particles. Physicists use particle accelerators and newspapers, magazines and journals have articles.

What 4-digit number abcd satisfies this equation?
4 × abcd = dcba
2178
4 × 2178 = 8712
What is put on a table and cut but never eaten?
A deck of cards. You put the cards on the table to play, and you cut the cards to mix them up, but you don’t eat them. Flowers is another possible answer.
