      ty :)


      There is a common English word that is nine letters long. Each time you remove a letter from it, it still remains an English word - from nine letters right down to a single letter. What is the original word, and what are the words that it becomes after removing one letter at a time?

        can you take any letter from the nine or do you start at the last one and work your way down to the first???

          Oh i heard this one, so i can answer it!!

          The word is:
          startling
          starting
          staring
          string
          sting
          sing
          sin
          in
          I

            Man, you guys are smart...:)

            This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it? It looks so plain you would think nothing was wrong with it! In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is unusual though. Study it, and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out! Try to do so without any coaching!

              Ah! I can't believe I missed all the good ones. There aren't any E's in the paragraph. That's weird. Or interesting.

                A man takes a barrel that weighs 20 pounds, and then puts something in it. It now weighs less than 20 pounds.

                What did he put in the barrel?

                    He put a hole in the barrel to make it weigh less.


                    There is a town in Texas where 5% of all the people living there have unlisted phone numbers. If you selected 100 names at random from the town's phone directory, on average, how many of these people would have unlisted phone numbers?

                        You are right: Mercury!

                        I guess the answer would be 5% or 5 people if 5% of the hundred hold true to the average.

                          None. You will not find unlisted phone numbers in a phone directory.

                              Correct!:)

                              The 22nd and 24th presidents of the United States had the same mother and the same father, but were not brothers. How can this be possible?

                                Same guy. He was the only president elected to two terms non-consecutively!
