Challenge 2 - Omega
Team
TEASERS "The rules are pretty simple... 1. At least half your team must participate... that's 2 for the Omegas, and 2.5 for the Alphas (3!). 2. Keep them numbered, so I can find them. I had originally for a lot fewer, but considering how fast you did the last one, I figured this one needed to be bigger. 3. The first team to get them all correct wins. Barring that, the team to get the most right by 11:59pm CST (the time clocked here) Sunday night 9-24-2000 wins immunity. 4. I don't mind you getting help, but don't post for help. 5. The answers are pretty specific, but if another one works, AND you can prove it, I'll allow it. 6. You have all day Monday to argue your answers, but once I post at 11:59pm 9-25-2000 the winner, it would be unfair to them to change it. I'm not perfect, but I'll try to be. The voting will be Tuesday, for 24 hours. 7. Every so often, I'll go thru and post which ones you have correct and which ones you do not. 8. What have I forgotten? ==================================== Tease #1 In the land of Liars and Truthtellers there were two families a little different from the general population. The Smith's, who told the truth only in the morning and lie in the afternoon, and the Jones' who speak the truth only in the afternoon and lie in the morning. You meet one person from each of these families on the street but you are not sure which is which. They make the following statements: A: It is afternoon B: My last name is Jones. Who is who, and is it morning or afternoon? Tease 2 What does man love more than life Fear more than death or mortal strife What the poor have, the rich require, and what contented men desire, What the miser spends and the spendthrift saves And all men carry to their graves? Tease 3 We are little creatures; all of us have different features. One of us in glass is set; one of us you'll find in jet. Another you may see in tin, and the fourth is boxed within. If the fifth you should pursue, it can never fly from you. What are we? TEASE 4: "Now you listen to me," yelled Art to buck, the owner of the football club, "I've been producing television sports for 20 yrs. and rule #1 is this; if you want to win you have to control the ball. In order to control the ball you have to have an offensive star who can put the points on the board. Sign a major quarterback & I'll give you the deal. Otherwise, forget it." As Buck got up to leave, Art yelled again, "Now remember, I don't care if you're talking basketball, soccer or polo, the team that's on offense has control of the ball!" "Well that's where you're wrong," replied Buck. What situation was Buck referring to? TEASE 5: Which of these numbers is the odd-one-out? 43 26 50 37 17 82 Tease 6: Replace the asterisks by the correct mathematical signs to make the expression equal to 99. 16*12*2*3= 99 Tease 7 There is a cage at the zoo that contained both peacocks and wild pigs. If there is a total of 30 eyes and 44 feet, how many of each are in the cage? TEASE: 8 What is the one thing that all wise men, regardless of their religion or politics, agree is between heaven and earth? Tease 9 Can you name the ten body parts that are only 3 letters long. None of them are slang or sleeze. Five are below the neck and five are above. Tease 10 When the day after tomorrow is yesterday, today will be as far from Wednesday as today was from Wednesday when the day before yesterday was tomorrow. What is the day after this day? Tease 11 If nine thousand, nine hundred nine dollars is written as $9,909, how should twelve thousand, twelve hundred twelve dollars be written. Tease 12 My first is a creature whose breeding is unclear. My second, a price you must pay. My whole can be found in the river of Time and refers to events of today. What am I? Tease 13 I'm as small as an ant, as big as a whale. I'll approach like a breeeze, but can come like a gale. By some I get hit, but all have shown fear. I'll dance to the music, though I can't hear. Of names I have many, of names I have one. I'm as slow as a snail, but from me you can't run. Tease 14 I can be written, I can be spoken, I can be exposed, I can be broken, What am I? Tease 15 Assign every letter of the alphabet its numerical value: A=1, B=2, C=3, and so on, up to z=26. Can you think of a familiar 7 letter word whose letter values total only 21? HINT: It's edible. Tease 16 If you look, you can't see me. If you see me, you cannot see anything else. I can make you walk if you can't. Sometimes I speak the truth. And sometimes I lie. If I lie, I am nearer the truth. What Am I? Tease 17 Never resting, never still. Moving silently from hill to hill. It does not walk, run or trot, All is cool where it is not. What is it? Tease 18 I have a mouth but do not speak, I have a bed but do not sleep. I run but have no feet. What am I? Tease 19 What demands an answer, but asks no question? Tease 20 We are all around, yet to us you are half blind. Sunlight makes us invisible, and difficult to find. What are we? Tease 21 Some try to hide, Some try to cheat, But time will show, We always will meet. Try as you might, To guess my name, I promise you'll know, When you I do claim. Who am I? Tease 22 Some will use me, while others will not, Some have remembered, while others have forgot. For profit or gain, I'm used expertly, I can't be picked off the ground Or tossed into the sea. Only gained from patience and time, Can you unravel my rhyme? Tease 23 Always old, sometimes new, Never sad, sometimes blue. Never empty, sometimes full, Never pushes, always pulls. What am I? Tease 24 What is open when it is closed, and closed when it is open? Tease 25 What is long and slim, works in light; has but one eye, and an awful bite? Tease 26: My host thinks I'm an irritation, a bother, a pain. But he can't evict me, so here I will remain. Then one day I'm taken and ranked among my peers. Can you guess just what I am? Then you might call me dear. Tease 27 Born Motherless and Fatherless, Into this world without a sin Made a loud roar as I entered And never spoke again. What am I?

Tease 29 I have keys that open no locks, I have space, but there is no room, You can enter, but you can't go in. What am I? Tease 30 "Whoever makes it, tells it not. Whoever takes it, knows it not. And whoever knows it, wants it not. Can you tell me what I speak of?"

My 10, 9, 8, 2 is a short letter. My whole is a celebrated warrior. Who am I? Tease 33 This is an unusual day, and so is this paragraph. How quickly can you find what is so uncommon about it? It looks so ordinary that you may think nothing is odd about it until you match it with most paragraphs this long. If you put your mind to it, and study it, you will find out. Do it without any coaching. Go to work and try your skill at figuring it out. Good Luck! Tease 34 Complete the following series: 32, 30, 34, 34, 36, 36, 38, 39, 39, 41, ??, ??

Tease 45 A man is walking down a road with a basket of eggs. As he is walking he meets someone who buys one-half of his eggs plus one-half of an egg. He walks a little further and meets another person who buys one-half of his eggs plus one-half of an egg. After proceeding further he meets another person who buys one-half of his eggs plus one half an egg. At this point he has sold all of his eggs, and he never broke an egg. How many eggs did the man have to start with? Started with 7 eggs. 1st customer: sold 3 and one-half eggs plus half an egg = 4 eggs. 2nd customer: sold 1 and one-half eggs plus half and egg = 2 eggs This leaves 1 egg left. 3rd customer: sold half of 1 egg and half an egg which left none left.
