I tell you when to start,
I smash others to break them apart,
What am I?
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.

What word in the English dictionary has a silent z?

Turns out rendezvous isn’t the only one. Another word is oyez.

Two women apply for a job. They are identical and have the same mother, father and birthday. The interviewer asks, “Are you twins?” to which they honestly reply, “No”.
How is this possible?
They are triplets.
I am one of very few, perhaps the only one, to look like what I represent. What am I?
The word ‘bed’, which looks like an actual bed. The ‘b’ is the headboard, the ‘e’ is the mattress and the ‘d’ is the foot board.
If you know of another word that looks like the object it represents, add it in the comments.

Here are five rolls of dice, with their score.
Roll #1 – Score: 6
Roll #2 – Score: 4
Roll #3 – Score: 4
Roll #4 – Score: 8
Roll #5: 0
This is what you know:
1. The name of this game is significant (Petals Around the Rose)
How is the score determined?
The solution is to count the dots (petals) surrounding the center dot (the rose).
Only odd numbers have a center dot, so even numbers (2, 4 and 6) are worth zero.
1 doesn’t have any surrounding dots, so it too is worth zero.
The three has two dots surrounding the center, so it’s worth two.
A five has four petals around the rose making it worth four.
