Answers:
1) 1/2 egg + 1/2 egg = 1 egg
all 3 customers bought 1 egg
Thus, he sold only 3 eggs!!!
2) Incorrectly, of course!
3) I dunno!. My Chemistry's very lousy!. 79 is gold, 29 is copper, 80 is Mercury and 47 is silver!. So I think you're Gold!? (You're 79 in the periodic table right!?)
4) Not possible!?!?!?
5) He's Too Short, So he could only reach the 7th floor and must climb the stairs to his apartment!. He goes down to the 1st floor when he wants to go out because he could reach the 1st floor button!. On rainy days he could press the button to the 10th floor because he has his umbrella to help him!.
6) Step 1: Take 2 marbles from each container!.
Step 2: There should be 1 pair each with both red and blue marbles!. If the other pair has both red and blue marbles, you're lucky cos you can correctly label them correctly!
Step 3: If you're unlucky, and the other pair happens to be of the same colour too, take the odd oneout and label
Step 4: Take one out and see if it happens to be the other colour!. Repeat if there is still the same colour!.
Step 5: If you get a different colour, Then label them correctly! Done! Www@Enter-QA@Com
