Yep, you got them right R.

8 He cant, because the moment he enters it he runs IN it

9 it it were 21 secs after the time you gave it would be:

[Ereinion]

:o number 9 is too cool!

[Ranger]

8. Good answer Ridn, but not the one I'm looking for :p

[Mirkgirl]

8. I guess you're looking after halfway
but my own answer is till the first tree on its way ;)

[Iarfirithwen]

8. As far as he wants to ;), OR half way (as Mirkgirl has already said) 'cause after that he's running out of the woods.

9. 12:345/6/78 (but that one really depends on where you live. I don't write date-time like that, but I'm guessing these are US-centric questions ;))

[Ranger]

Yep and yep :thumbs:

10. Is it legal in California for a man to marry his widow's sister?
11. If a farmer has 5 haystacks in one field and 4 haystacks in the other field, how many haystacks would he have if he combined them all in the center field?

[Nessa the Dancer]

I guess to 11 would be 1 haystack because they are all combined ;)

[Galadhrim]

Aha! He can't marry her anyways - if it's his WIDOW's sister, that means he's dead! lol
