2. 1:45. The man gave away a

performed before addition.
So... half of two is one. Then add two, and
the answer is three.
********
6. Sloppy is a (gold)fish. The
wind blew the shutters in, which knocked his goldfish-bowl off the table, and it

questions, same answer: the ball in the bucket of 45 degree F water hits the
bottom of the bucket last. Did you think that the water in the 30 degree F
bucket is frozen? Think again.
The question said nothing about that
bucket having anything in it. Therefore, there is no water (or ice) to slow the
ball down...
