In school today we took this aptitude test just for fun and now i'm going to give it to you. There were 20 questions on the paper but i can only think of 9 right now if i think of more i will put them up.
1) I have 2 coins in my hand and they add up to 55 cents. One is not a nickel. What are the coins?
2) A man lives in a rectangular house with all 4 sides having southern exposure. A local bear walks by. What color is the bear?
3) How many people at minimum are there on the field in a baseball game?
4) How many outs are in an inning in a baseball game?
5) How far can a dog run into the woods?
6) A boat is sitting in the water with a ladder on the side of it. The rungs on the ladder are 6" apart and the bottom rung is just above water level. The tide rises at 3" per hour. How many rungs will be under water in 4 hours?
7) The nurse gives you 3 pills and tells you to take one every 1/2 hour. How long before the pills are gone?
8) An archaeologist says he found a coin that is dated 50 B.C. Do you believe him?
9) A guy goes to bed at 8 a.m. and sets an analog alarm clock for 9 p.m. How many hours of sleep does he get?

ok
1.) A fifty cent coin and a nickel. Because it said that only one coin was not a nickel they didn't say that the other one couldn't be one.
2.) probably brown
3.) 9?
4.) ??
5.) ??
6.) 4?
7.) an hour and a half
8.) ??
9.) 13
I'm sure that not even half of the oes I anwered were right

I thought of some more:
10) Some months have 30 days and some have 31. How many months have 28?
11) A man lives in North Carolina. Why can't he be buried west of the Mississippi River?
12) In the state of Pennsylvania, is a man allowed to marry his widow's sister?
13) What 4 words are on every denomination of U.S. coins.
14) There was a beggar on the street. A lady stopped and gave the beggar some money. The lady was the beggar's sister but the beggar wasn't her brother. How can that be?

Dang you girls are smart cookies. That's really cool. I didn't even get any of them right. I didn't do it on here so I wouldn't embarrass myself.
