1. If 6 # 6 = 0 and 6 @ 6 = 12, then 5 # 3 @ 2 # 4 = _______?

Explanation

The symbols '#' and '@' represent subtraction and addition, respectively. Following the order of operations from left to right:

5 # 3 = 2 (5 minus 3)

2 @ 2 = 4 (2 plus 2)

4 # 4 = 0 (4 minus 4)

Therefore, 5 # 3 @ 2 # 4 equals 0.

2. You're at a restaurant are about to give your order. You say, "I'll take a cheeseburger with no cheese and a diet water." The waitress gives you an odd looks and then writes it down on her pad.

Explanation

The correct answer is "Wouldn't your order just be a hamburger and some water?" because the person initially asks for a cheeseburger with no cheese, which essentially means they want a hamburger. Additionally, the phrase "diet water" is nonsensical as water is already calorie-free and does not require any modification. Therefore, the correct interpretation of the person's order would be a hamburger and water.

3. I'll give you a sentence/short story and you'll tell me whats wrong with it. Okay

Explanation

The given correct answer points out that there should be a question mark after the word "okay" in the sentence. The sentence is a question, so it requires a question mark at the end to indicate that it is interrogative in nature. The absence of the question mark makes the sentence grammatically incorrect.

4. A woman with russet hair goes to get her hair dyed dark red. Will her hair get lighter or darker?

Explanation



If a woman with russet hair (which is typically a reddish-brown shade) decides to dye her hair dark red, the outcome will be that her hair gets darker. Dark red dye will add more depth and darker tones compared to the lighter, more brownish-red tones of russet hair. Hence, her hair will become darker after the dyeing process.

5. Is this possible? A plane crashed on one side of a river and buries itself in the wet mud. The crash kills all of the survivors and no bodies are recovered.

Explanation

The phrase "kills all of the survivors" is a contradiction because if they were survivors, they wouldn't be killed. In the context of the question, it implies that there are survivors who are then killed, which doesn't make sense. Therefore, based on the logical inconsistency, the correct answer is "No."
