Just what sort of intellectual level are we on on this site? Darkhorses or clotheshorses, answer the following simple questions and hopefully we'll find out:-

1) If you take 5 apples from 11 apples; what do you have?

2) Divide 30 by half and add 10; what is the answer?

3) If I let an inflated ballon go on Hartlepool Marina with a north-easterly wind which part of town would it drift towards, Clavering,the Headland or Rossmere?

4) A farmer has 17 sheep, all but 9 die, how many does he have left?

5) If a doctor gave you five pills and told you to take one every half hour, how long would they last?

6) Some months of the year have 31 days, some 28, how many have 30 days?

7) A man builds a rectangular house, each side has a Southern exposure. A big bear wanders by it, what colour is the bear?

8) If you had one match and you entered a cold, dark room where there was an oil-lamp, an oil heater, and some kindling wood; which would you light first?

Best of luck. (and yes I have been bored outa me skull ).

Snowy will probably know this .... but wasn't Mr Bimmler a charcter in a Monty Python sketch? The one where Adolf HILTER and co were in a Devon B&B and planning the invasion of Torquay?
