I got eleven out of eleven right, but I answered the "How many outs are there in an inning ?" without knowing what the answer was.

I got 10 out of 11. The question about a husband marrying his widow's sister is faulty. Since this is technically impossible, I seriously doubt there is any law forbidding it.

i didn't know the innings one. I also got the pills one and Moses one wrong because I didn't think about them.

The rest were easy.

The inning one is clearly wrong anyway - everyone knows there are 20 wickets per inning, my dear old thing......

There is 1 thing I stink at really bad:

math

4/11

In math class last semester, we would always have to do these things everyday. I was the only one in the class who never answered 1 right. Several of those are familiar from that math class.

Too right!

Though you must remember that if you are in you have to go out, and if you are out you have to go in.

10/11

30 / 1/2 is like 30*2.
When you divide a number (call it a, for instance) by an integer, you get a number which is smaller than a. It is like when you cut a cake : if you cut it into several parts for several people, each part is smaller than the cake.
So dividing by one means keeping the cake as it is. a divided by one is a.
But if you divide by something which is smaller than one, then you get something which is bigger than a, because instead of cutting it, you make another cake. In this case, you can visualize it as : "1/2 means I have half the quantity of cake needed for all the guests." So 30 divided by 1/2 is like 30*2 = 60.

Add 10 and you get 70.

That still doesn't make sense to me, how do u write it as an equation?

I thought 30/1 X 1/2 which makes 15.
