I figured I'd have more takers on the brain teasers. They're more fun to answer.

So let's see how the three who answered scored:

Randomjunk: 9 out of 15. Your answer to #2 made me laugh. And even though your changed answer to #12 can work, it's not quite the one I had on the paper that I got these from.
Nuttz: 7 out of 15. Your answer for #8 also made me laugh. And I can understand why you didn't know #9 or #12 since you probably write your dates and times different from us and you're probably not used to the different US coins.
The-Muffin-Man: 9 out of 15. Your answer to #9 is close, but the numbers only go to 8. And your answer for #12 was funny and could also fit, but then again it moves wherever you go.

1. This one was probably the easiest: All months have 28 days.

2. I didn't understand this one myself until after reading over a couple times: The time is 1:45. The man gave away a total of $0.25. He divided it between two people, therefore he gave a quarter to two.

3. Another easy one: The match.

4. This one you have to kind of think about, but if you over think it the logic gets in the way: The bear is white because it is a polar bear.

5. This one all depends on how well you are in math: The answer is 3. Division before addition; half of 2 is 1, plus 2 is 3.

6. Muffy's answer still makes me laugh: Yes, they have a 4th of July in England. And a 5th and a 6th ...

7. Haha, this one you have to read closely in order to understand why you all got it wrong, Don't feel bad, though. I got it wrong at first too: NOAH had the Ark. Not Moses.

8. Muffy sort of had this right: A dog can only run halfway in to the woods. Then he could be running out.

9. This one can be confusing if you don't know how our calendar works: On an American-style calendar the significance makes is read: 12:34 5-6-78.

10. Gotta love a play on words: A man's widow implies that the man is dead. A woman can't be a widow otherwise.

11. Another play on words. I'm not really sure what the significance of them being placed in a specific field is though. Random has a point, too. The wording of the question implies that there are only two fields, however since I didn't make these up, here's the answer that was given: If he combines them all, they all become 1.

12. This one can be a variety of things, but the answer given: The temperature.

13. Yet another play on words, but you 'Tangers are smart and caught that only one of the two coins was not a nickel. No one said anything about the fact that the second coin couldn't be one: A nickel and a 50 Cent piece.

14. Some people will just do the math, but that's why you all got it right: 9 sheep are left, because all but 9 died.

15. Even if you used a calculator, that's fine: The answer is 70.

Derp. I feel dumb for getting #5 wrong. I read that as (2+2)/2 though. X| One of my math teachers in high school used to stomp around the room with his arms raised, yelling "GEMDAS! GEMDAS!" (Groups, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction), so you'd think I'd remember...
