1) A ship carrying coal leaves newcastle (england) and takes 2 weeks to sail to new york with its cargo, in a straight line

Which part of the ship travels the furthest?


2) A hunter gets hungry, he leaves his house looking for a bear, he travels 10 miles south, sees nothing, he then walks 10 miles

east, sees a bear, shoots it, he travels 10 miles north and he's home

What colour is the bear?


3) A E F H I .......Whats the next letter in the sequence?

[NotQuiteJesus]

1. How the fuck does it get straight through a landlocked city. xD
2. The bear is a hallucination. So purple.
3. S.

HOW'D I DO.

[♥i-love-you♥]

1. The edge of the propeller. The answer you have is probably the highest up part of the ship though.
2. White - He's starts at the north pole.
3. K - Letters that can be drawn using straight lines only.

*yawn* Next.

@ NQJ.....failed miserably lol

@ ILY......how the fuck did you get those right !!!!!!!!!!

it is the highest point of the ship, cause the world is oblate spheroidal, round if you want, so the highest point travels the furthest distance

i'm guessing ily heard them before !

[SaffronJava]

ILY is wrong!

A polar bear is not white, it's fur is actually transparent haha.

[DeAgon]

well he got it right, it was a polar bear, cause bears don't exist at the south pole

I hadn't heard the boat on before, but, well, it was easy.

Yes, and it's skin is black.

We perceive them as white though, so I said white.

[DeAgon]

you got some head on you bro

pity you heard two of them before

erm why the prop edge btw?

[♥i-love-you♥]

Because it not only traveled from the UK to the US, but it also spun round a hell of a lot, and the furthest point from the middle is turning the fastest, therefor, the edge of the prop.

No really, how does a boat barge straight through solid earth. :[

i said in a straight line, when dealing with logic look for the unnecessary, when you get rid of that its becomes clear

like the letters one, i took all the squiggly letters out just leaving the straight ones in.

@ ily, no it is definitely the tip of the mast

[♥i-love-you♥]

No, it's not. the properllor tip travels further. Also, if it's a straight line, it shouldn't go round the curvature of the earth; it should go through it.

[DeAgon]

ok, try this one!

9 25 49 whats the next number?

we are talking distance across the earths surface, the prop tip does not come into it

also the vessel is following a line of longitude, which is a straight line Arrrrrggggg

[♥i-love-you♥]

Ok, this is annoying me...

You didn't specify either of these pieces of information in the original question, so my answers are perfectly valid.

[DeAgon]

i agree, they are valid, you got them all correct

[DeAgon]

ok, try this one!

9 25 49 whats the next number?

[NotQuiteJesus]
