You are too good at this Guinevere. Try this one then: If an average hen's egg is 5cm long and weighs 300 grams, and an average peacock's egg is exactly twice the length and 2.5 times the weight, which has the greater circumference? Aileen ps I'm going to put the kettle on, back in a few minutes.

You were on the ball that time Guinevere. Here's another: Five men were travelling along a lane. It began to rain. Four of the men quickened their step and got wet. The fifth man did not quicken his step but remained quite dry. He did not have an umbrella or hat. How can this be?

Yes you intelligent cheeky chunky monkey, sweety out the jar for you. Try this one: If a man's mother in law can marry his son, and a woman's father can marry her sister in law, can a man marry his widow's sister? Aileen

Moses didn't build the ark - Noah did. So Moses had nothing to do with it. Gwynne

I'm being very generous here Arthur. Wrong answer. Look at the question again and then at Guinevere's answer. Aileen

Dunno, but he must have loaded the Giraffes last as they would be the only ones with their heads still out of the water.

If it rained for forty days and forty nights, and the animals entered in pairs at a rate of thirty pairs per day. How many days did it take Moses to get all three hundred and sixty animals onto the Ark?
