oh good one Maz, that fooled me.

2.If you wrote down all the numbers between 1 and a hundred how many 9s would you have written?

20? Assuming we mean whole numbers of course.

1. Two coins total 55 pence one of them isn’t a 50 pence piece what are the coins?

50p and 5p - the other one is a 50p.

2.If you wrote down all the numbers between 1 and a hundred how many 9s would you have written?

Assuming you mean integers, and assuming you're not using a very unusual way of phrasing the question - 20. Ten nines in each position. Alternatively you could be on a metaphysical jaunt and mean either a countable infinity (if you are talking about the rationals, which are theoretically writable if you can write each infinitesimally quickly) or an uncountable infinity (if you are talking about the reals).

3.What can you put in a glass but not remove from it?

A crack.

4.Where would you find cities with no houses forests with no trees and rivers with no water?

On a map.


5. how many times can you subtract 22 from 2,222?

The usual answer is only once - the second subtraction would be from 2,200.

6.What kind of edible nut does not have a shell ?

Pine nut. Corn nut would do just as well, and there's probably some kind of cereal called a nut.

7. Rearrange the following letters to make just one word.
DEJNOORSTUW.

JUST ONE WORD

8.How many animals of each species did Moses take onto the Ark?

Trick question - Moses didn't go on the ark.

9. Joe’s Mum has three children .first one is named Tom –The second is called Dick –What is the third one called ??

Joe.

10 What are the next two letters in the sequence?
O T T F F S S E N

Far too easy.

Yeah, but then it helps when the others have already stated most, if not all, of the answers!!
