    A rooster sitting on the roof of a barn lays an egg. Should the egg always roll down the shortest path?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The answer is false because roosters are male chickens, and male chickens do not lay eggs. Therefore, the premise of the question is incorrect, and there is no egg to roll down any path, let alone the shortest one.

    You got to take 3 pills, one every half an hour. When shall you take the last pill?

    • 2 hours later

    • 1.5 hours later

    • 1 hour later

    • 2.5 hours later

    Correct Answer
    A. 1 hour later
    Explanation
    To take one pill every half an hour, you would take the first pill immediately. Then, after 30 minutes, you would take the second pill. Finally, after another 30 minutes, you would take the third and last pill. Therefore, the correct answer is to take the last pill 1 hour later.

    Some months have 30 days and some have 31. How many have 28?

    • 5

    • 1

    • 10

    • 12

    Correct Answer
    A. 12
    Explanation
    Every month has at least 28 days, so all 12 months have 28 days. The question is a play on words, trying to trick the reader into thinking that only one month has 28 days. However, this is a trick question as all months have 28 days or more.
