Especially for you Adam. All other members (include you Scunner) are free to ignore this inane rubbish.

Q1. A mother had four daughters who were born on the same day in the same year but they were not quadruplets. How can this be ?

Q2. As I was going to St Ives
       I met a man with seven wives
       Each wife had seven sacks
       Each sack had seven cats
       Each cat had seven kittens
       Kittens, cats, sacks and wives
       Hope many were going to St Ives.

Q3. Houdini claimed to have an object that, if put in the middle of a wall would enable him to see directly through the wall. The wall could be made of any substance and Houdini was still able to back up his claim every time. What was the special object.

Q4. In every school from England to the USA there is one word that is consistently spelt correctly despite the fact that there are 3 syllables, a double letter and 9 letters in total in the word. What word could that be.

Q5. What do you brush your teeth with, sit on and sleep in.

Q6. A man headed has car North on Front Street (a relatively straight road). He drove for a hundred metres, yet he found himself a hundred metres South of where he started. How is this possible

Q7. Dr Jekyll keeps many flasks containing various liquids in his laboratory. They are all marked by code. One of them is marked with the following inscription.

       HIJKLMNO.

       What chemical is in the flask.

Q8.    What has eyes, yet has no sight
       Has a tongue yet has no speech
       And has a sole yet has no life.

Q9. Natal celebration devoid of colour, rather albino as in a
    hallucinatory phenomenon for me.

       Name the song.

Q10. A math teacher finds a student with a piece of paper on which
     is written:
     X1 + 1 = X.
     The teacher explains that eleven plus one is not equal to ten,
     but the student
     insists that the equation is correct. Is the student correct.
     Could this be a legitimate equation without changing it.

According to the game, the questions get harder from 1 to 10 (10 is alledgedly the hardest.

Sleep well...........
