How many times does the letter S appear in the name of the longest river in the world?
Zero. The Nile is the longest river in the world. Some claim the Amazon as the longest, but that too has no “S”es (that looks weird but I don’t know how else to write the plural of “s”).

Fill in the missing numbers in this number series.
16, 26, ?, 43, 50, ?, 61, 65, ?, 70, 71
The method to create the series is start by adding 10, then decrease the addend by 1 for each new number in the sequence. That gives us:
16 + 10 = 26
26 + 9 = 35
35 + 8 = 43
43 + 7 = 50
50 + 6 = 56
56 + 5 = 61
61 + 4 = 65
65 + 3 = 68
68 + 2 = 70
70 + 1 = 71

Skin of stone, long I’ve stood.
My fingers short reach to the sky
Inside my heart men live and die.
A castle.
