- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Gary has only forty-eight dollars, which is not enough to buy a bicycle that costs one hundred twenty dollars. However, if he borrows fifty-seven dollars from Jane and fifteen dollars from Jill, he will have a total of forty-eight dollars (his own money) + fifty-seven dollars (borrowed from Jane) + fifteen dollars (borrowed from Jill) = one hundred twenty dollars. Therefore, the statement is true.Rate this question:

- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
When a round wall clock is rotated until it is hanging upside down, the minute hand will not point to your right when it is two forty-five.

- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
The sentence is not grammatically correct because it uses the word "quane" twice in the same sentence, which is redundant. If "quane" is understood to mean the same as "den," then the correct sentence would be: "Looking out from my den, I could see a wolf enter den."Rate this question:

If Richard looks into a mirror and touches his left ear with his right hand, Richard's image seems to touch its right ear with its left hand.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
This statement is true because when we look into a mirror, our image appears to be flipped horizontally. So, if Richard touches his left ear with his right hand, his image in the mirror will appear to touch its right ear with its left hand. This is due to the reflection of light in the mirror, which reverses the orientation of our image.Rate this question:

. If you leave the letters in the same order, but rearrange the spaces in the phrase, "Them eats on," it can be read as, "Theme at son."
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
By rearranging the spaces in the phrase "Them eats on," we can form the phrase "Theme at son." This means that if we keep the letters in the same order but rearrange the spaces, we can create a new phrase that makes sense. Therefore, the statement "If you leave the letters in the same order, but rearrange the spaces in the phrase 'Them eats on,' it can be read as 'Theme at son'" is true.Rate this question:

John weighs 85 pounds. Jeff weighs 105 pounds. Jake weighs 115 pounds. Two of them standing together on the same scale could weigh 200 pounds.
- A.
True
- B.

A. TrueExplanation
If John and Jeff stand together on the scale, they would weigh 85 + 105 = 190 pounds. If Jeff and Jake stand together on the scale, they would weigh 105 + 115 = 220 pounds. Therefore, it is possible for two of them standing together on the same scale to weigh 200 pounds, making the statement true.Rate this question:

Nine chickens, two dogs, and three cats have a total of forty legs
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
Let's calculate the total number of legs:
Nine chickens have 9 * 2 = 18 legs.
Two dogs have 2 * 4 = 8 legs.
Three cats have 3 * 4 = 12 legs.
Total legs = 18 (chickens) + 8 (dogs) + 12 (cats) = 38 legs.
Since the total number of legs is 38, not 40, the statement is false.Rate this question:

Sixteen hours are to one day as twenty days are to June's length
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The statement is comparing the ratio of hours to a day with the ratio of days to the length of June. It is saying that just as there are 16 hours in a day, there are 20 days in the length of June. This is true because June has 30 days, and if we multiply 16 hours by 20 days, we get 320 hours, which is the same as the number of hours in June. Therefore, the answer is true.Rate this question:

- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The word "TAN" is written under the word "SLY," forming a diagonal line. Then, the word "TOT" is written under "TAN," also forming a diagonal line. Therefore, it is logical to assume that the word "SAT" can be formed diagonally as well. Therefore, the answer is true.Rate this question:

- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
False. While a thumb is indeed considered a finger anatomically, the phrase "three gloves and three shoes" implies a total of six items, each of which would be designed to accommodate five fingers or toes. Therefore, there would be a total of 6 * 5 = 30 fingers and toes, not 35.Rate this question:

The words, "every, how, hand, ever," can form common compound words using, respectively, "one, ever, finger, more."
- A.

The statement is false because the given words cannot form common compound words using the suggested replacements. "Every" cannot be replaced with "one" to form a common compound word. Similarly, "how" cannot be replaced with "ever," "hand" cannot be replaced with "finger," and "ever" cannot be replaced with "more" to form common compound words. Therefore, the correct answer is false.Rate this question:

Fred will be four blocks from his starting place if he travels two blocks north, then three blocks east, and then two blocks south.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
If Fred travels two blocks north, then three blocks east, and finally two blocks south, he will end up one block east of his starting place. This is because the three blocks he travels east cancel out the two blocks he travels north and south. Therefore, Fred will be one block east, not four blocks from his starting place.Rate this question:

Six identical triangles can be formed by drawing two straight lines through an octagon's center point
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
Six identical triangles cannot be formed by drawing two straight lines through an octagon's center point. An octagon has eight sides, so drawing two straight lines through the center point would divide it into four equal sections. Each section would be a trapezoid, not a triangle.

The sum of all the odd numbers from zero to 16 is an even number
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The sum of all odd numbers from zero to 16 is an even number because when adding odd numbers, the result is always an even number. This is because odd numbers can be represented as 2n+1, where n is an integer. When adding these odd numbers, the 2n part will always be even, and adding 1 to an even number does not change its parity, therefore the sum will always be even.Rate this question:

If each of seven persons in a group shakes hands with each of the other six persons, then a total of forty-two handshakes occurs
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
In a group of seven people, each person shakes hands with the other six people. To calculate the total number of handshakes, we can use the formula n(n-1)/2, where n is the number of people. In this case, n=7, so the total number of handshakes would be 7(7-1)/2 = 7(6)/2 = 42/2 = 21. Therefore, the given statement is false as there would be 21 handshakes, not 42.Rate this question:

If a doughnut shaped house has two doors to the outside and three doors to the inner courtyard, then it's possible to end up back at your starting place by walking through all five doors of the house without ever walking through the same door twice
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
Since the doughnut shaped house has two doors to the outside and three doors to the inner courtyard, it is not possible to end up back at the starting place by walking through all five doors without walking through the same door twice. This is because there are only five doors in total, and in order to end up back at the starting place, one would need to walk through all five doors. However, since there are only two doors to the outside and three doors to the inner courtyard, it is not possible to accomplish this without walking through the same door twice. Therefore, the statement is false.Rate this question:
