Kelly and Jeff Tied!!! The long awaited answers to Wuzzlers With A Twist.
1. One day Kerry celebrated her birthday. Two days later her older twin brother, Terry, celebrated his birthday. How could this be?
Answer: At the time the mother of the twins went into labor she was travelling by boat. The older twin, Terry, was born first, early on March 1st. The boat then crossed the International Date Line and the younger twin, Kerry, was born on February 28th. In a leap year the birthdays are two days apart.
2. A man went to a party and drank some of the punch. He then left early. Everyone else at the party who drank the same punch were poisoned and became very sick. Why did the man not get sick?
Answer: Because the poison was in the ice cubes. The ice cubes had not melted yet when he drank the punch.
3. Why is it better to have round manhole covers than square ones?
Answer: A square manhole cover can be turned and dropped down the manhole diagonally. A round monhole cover cannot. So manhole covers are round for safety.
4. A woman had two sons who were born on the same hour of the same day of the same year. But they were not twins. How could this be so?
Answer: They were two of a set of triplets or quadruplets. Alternate answer: one was adopted.
5. Why can't a man living in the USA be buried in Canada?
Answer: Neither country buries the living.
