Cue. A cue tells you when to start, or if you forget your lines in a play. A cue ball is used to break at the beginning of a game of pool and the cue stick is used to push the cue ball on the break.
Another interesting tidbit is that cue is how you spell the letter q if you’re writing it out.
1 lb = A 2 lbs + A = B 3 lbs = B 4 lbs = A + B 5 lbs + A + B = C 6 lbs + B = C 7 lbs + B = A + C 8 lbs + A = C 9 lbs = C 10 lbs = A + C 11 lbs + A = B + C 12 lbs = B + C 13 lbs = A + B + C 14 lbs + B = D 15 lbs + B = A + D 16 lbs + A = D 17 lbs = D 18 lbs = A + D 19 lbs + A = B + D 20 lbs = B + D 21 lbs = A + B + D 22 lbs + A + B = C + D 23 lbs + B = C + D 24 lbs + B = A + C + D 25 lbs + A = C + D 26 lbs = C + D 27 lbs = A + C + D 28 lbs + A = B + C + D 29 lbs = B + C + D 30 lbs = A + B + C + D
Breath. Air is light, but even Stig Severinsen, the world record holder can only hold his breath for 22 minutes. The world’s strongest man can’t beat that, but you can have the pleasure of telling him to his face.
A bookworm eats from the first page of an encyclopedia to the last page in a straight line. The encyclopedia consists of ten 1000-page volumes and is sitting on a bookshelf in the usual order. Not counting covers, title pages, etc., how many pages does the bookworm eat through?
On a book shelf the first page of the first volume is on the “inside”, so the bookworm eats only through the cover of the first volume, then 8 times 1000 pages of Volumes 2 – 9, then through the cover to the 1st page of Vol 10 for a total of 8,000 pages.
Note: The question asks how many pages, not how many sheets of paper.
It’s against the rules for you to play fair, I always win but you don’t care, I’ve ruined lives and crushed dreams, But the allure is too much it seems.
A casino. If you use methods to make the odds more fair to you, they kick you out. The house always wins, yet people continue to play. Gambling has ruined countless lives and crushed dreams of making millions, but the hope of winning continues to draw people in.
