5 Simple But Logical Questions by Greatzeus(m): 6:02pm On Sep 16, 2015
1. What is the largest possible number you can write using only 2 digits - just 2 digits, nothing else?

2. Before Mt. Everest was discovered, what was the tallest mountain in the world?

3. How many birth days does the average man have?

4. Mom, Dad, and 2 kids (John and James) have come to a river, and they find a boat. It is small and can only carry one adult or 2 kids at a time. Both kids are good rowers, and the adults of course, but how can the whole family reach the other side of the river?

5. What English word can have 4 of its 5 letters removed and still retain it's original pronunciation?

Tah, using only 2 digits, it is 99. The question states "only" two digits, not two digits+symbols.

Lol, I knew you were going to hit me with that but oga really grin grin grin, I can't even type 9 raised to power 9 with my laptop sef. When I was typing the first comment, I wanted to state that exponents do not count but I thought I should leave it out and make this more interesting.

Lol, the only one here I have seen before is the one of Mt. Everest, my little brother asked me that last year via a text message even though we were both at home together and I got it right after thinking about it for some minutes. The questions are based on logic, I handle logic quite well. By the way, I knew question 5 would have to be an obscure alphabet so I cancelled all others except q,x,w,z, luckily for me, q was the first one I tackled. Also, the fact that I got them once doesn't mean I saw the questions and knew the answers immediately, I started typing about 10 minutes before the post was made. That was how long it took me to figure out. The toughest for me was the one about the family as I had to make the arrangement of the trips in my head and there are quite a number of trips.
