close enough. If he had just driven 500 km on a hot day, it would be too hot to touch at all.


Q15: During World War II, several British naval spies on the lookout for enemy ships and activities, posed as Canadian lobster fishermen. They had large numbers of plastic, orange-colored lobsters made for their covert operation. The lobsters came in various sizes with authentic markings. At night, the spies loaded the lobsters into traps and threw them overboard. At daybreak, they would hoist up thr traps aboard the ship. The locals spotted them as fraudulent fishermen from quite a distance. How were they so easily detected?

correct.

Q14: It was a hot, muggy, day. Shadow was waiting on the lawn when Sid Shady came out of his house wearing a pair of shorts and a wrist watch. "There was a robbery in town about two hours ago," said Shadow. "Apparently, the robber fits your description." Shady laughed as he laid back on the hood of his pickup. "This truck and I just returned from Pine Ridge about ten minutes ago. That is over 500 kilometers away in case you didn't know. YOu can call my cousin I was visiting and he'll verify my story." Shadow looked at his watch and said, "It's 4pm now, what time did you leave Pine Ridge?" Shady glanced at his watch and said, "I guess it must have been about 7am."
"You're obviously lying,"replied Shadow. Why?


If the truck had done 500km, the hood would be too hot for Sid Shady to lean on (espacially since he is only wearing shorts)

Because the lobsters were orange. Edit: I really have to stop trying to answer these, I'll waste my 3k post. Edit 2: Yes, they only turn orange when cooked.

correct.
You get credit, because you were the first to explain why the color mattered.


Q16: Based on the US constitution, there are five requirements a person must meet in order to become President of the United States of America:
The candidate:
* Must be at least 35 years old.
* Must be a citizen of the United States.
* Must have resided in the US for at least 14 years.
* Must have been born in the US.
There is one more requirement. What is it?



PS
And yea, if you guys are googling the answers, stop answering please.

Q17: Shadow flipped the tent flap open and surveryed the scene. On the floor, in the center of the tent, a man lay dead from self inflicted gunshot wounds. In the corner of the tent was a small cot. A package of cigarettes and an empty bottle lay on the bedside table next to a kerosene lamp. Shadow combed the tent for additional clues to the possible motive. Other than the articles mentioned, the only things Shadow found were a half dozen small circular wooden disks under the cot, the man's personal effects, and a variety of scrapbooks and news clippings. Shadow found the last articles particularly strange since it was learned that the suicide victim was completely illiterate. What was the reason for the apparent suicide?

ps- lol this one is pretty ridiculous. I don't know how anyone could come to the answer.

lol one of these easy riddles says; "it is estimated that the earth weighs 6 sextillion tons. how much would the earth weigh if you took 1 sextillion tons of concrete and stone and built a large wall?"
Didn't know that was how much it weighed.

By working backwards, the answer becomes very easy. 9/10 of 1k is 900, 8/9 of 900 is 800, etc. all the way down to 100


Q19: Jed Recluse lived alone and he preferred it that way. Jed never had any visitors and he never visited anyone. Since Jed never left his house it was necessary to have his supplies delivered every two weeks. One dark and stormy night Jed lost control of his senses, and turned off all the lights and went to sleep. The next morning it was discovered that Jed's actions resulted in the deaths of several people. Why?
