What the hell. I did this quiz a few days ago, but it had a few differences.

"Can a man marry his widow's sister?"

@ Xan I saw you change something too! We're both cheats! *Quickly looks at everyone elses answers*

Logic and math aren't my thing really.

Well unless she, the widow's sister, is into necrophilia, then I'd answer no. :)

Ah, it seems as though we have a few bright ones here :) Not fooled by simple trickery, either that or you've done it before! :D

Here are the official answers:

CORRECT ANSWERS

1) All of them
Every month has at least 28 days.

2) 1 hour
If you take a pill at 1 o'clock, then another at 1:30 and the last at 2 o'clock, they will be taken in 1 hour.

3) 1 hour
It is a wind up alarm clock which cannot discriminate between a.m. and p.m.

4) 70
Dividing by half is the same as multiplying by 2.

5) 9 live sheep

6) the match

7) white
If all walls face south, the house must be on the north pole.

8) 2 apples
I HAVE 3 APPLES,YOU TAKE 2,WHAT DO YOU HAVE?

9) none
It was Noah

10) YOU are the driver


Score (based on how many you got right)

If you got:

7 or more elementary school level
6 high school level
5 college level
4 teacher
3 junior college lecturer
2 university lecturer
0-1 member of parliament
