12. A man filled a cup completely, and then he turned it over, but not even one drop of water spilled. How is that possible?
He put a piece of paper on the top of the glass.
19. We presume te switches are turned off from the start.
Turn a switch on. Wait a while, then turn other on, for a little time. Then, enter the room woth the bulbs.
Touch the bulbs: the verry hot bulb belong to the fisrt swithv you turned. The one who is hot a little is the one who belongs to the second switch. The cold bulb belongs to the thirsd switch: the one who was turned off all the time.
20. The baobab. That African tree filled by water.
The biggest best-seller is the Bible.

It's a logic riddle. Think well.

you obey me? (or respect me..depending on your preference)
No.
I'll give you all a hint because I see that you're having a hard time with it: the sentence comes from the commercial world. It's one of the first thing that you learn in advertising.

Nice!
16. The ancient Jerusalem has four quarters: The Muslim quarter, the Jewish quarter, the Christian quarter, and...?
Value - 2 points armenian quarter
Great!
It's the least impressive one, by the way. The others are really beautiful, the markets of the Muslim quarter, the Church of the Holy Sepulcher at the Christian and the Yeshivas at the Jewish... At the Armenian there are mostly old monasteries.
17. What is the greatest best-seller ever?
Value - 1 point the bible
Right!I'm sorry, I didn't notice that this has already been answered by Zamfir. Don't worry, it's only one point, and you nailed it with the two other questions.
4 points to Joonas.

Quote:
Exactly!
Cats are better than any snakes trap.
Why? Because the snake's attack is based on it's fast reaction speed. Snakes crawl sneakingly slowly to their victim and attack quickly at once. When someone tries to grab a snake, it reacts very quickly and bites the poor person before he reaches the snake.
Now, the cat is able to handle with all those problems:
1) The cat's speed reaction is faster than the snake's. When a snake tries to bite a cat, it reacts fast enough to evade the bite and to kill the snake with his nails by the time the snake relocates.
2) The cat always feels the snake by its senses, so a snake will never catch him in a surprise like it usually does to its victims.
false! If you don't beleve me you can try the Top 7 snake killers! "1.It's hard to imagine that such a slow and weak animal like a hedgehog can kill a viper."
No cats in the list actually.

Read the question again.
It's about things to keep in your house. I haven't heard of many people having hedgehogs as pets.
