Alright, folks, we just gonna let this one drop? No challenges left for the fount of all knowledge? Are you all cowering in the back trying to think of something to stop me in my tracks! Cloudy, I'm surprised. I haven't gotten a question in the last couple of hours. I think you're losing interest. **Pout**

The rest of ya: come on, no question to personal, no question to dumb. I am the answer Guru. Bring it . . .

(that ought to whip them into a frenzy of questions. Getting real bored at work again...)

Okay, BK, I can't resist.

First, an easy one: If 1 1/2 chickens lay 1 1/2 eggs in 1 1/2 days, how many eggs will six chickens lay in six days?

Second, a true/false: Noble gasses can not combine with any other atoms, T/F?

Third, something quite obscure: How could one become a slave in 18th century Scotland?

1. 24
2. The Noble Gases Helium (He), Neon (Ne), Argon (Ar), Krypton (Kr), Xenon (Xe), and Radon (Rn)have full outer electon shells, which make them a poor choice for Ionic or Covalent bonding.
3. By being a Highland farmer being sold by your land owner, who found out they could get more for the land by letting it grow wild and hunting on it.

BK -- the answer about the Highland farmer is a new one on me. I was thinking of a different process. Any other way you know?

I hadn't used any of these, but they are financial terms.

1 Consolidation of funds for the purpose of buying an ailing stock is the best def I have?
2 Illegal practice by traders who manipulate the market by buying and selling a security to create the illusion of high trading activity and to attract other traders who may push up the price.

3 Money saving Tip?
4A sudden drop in a stock's price resulting from failed or poor business deals gone bad or falling through.

5 A trust fund that doesn’t have to be dispersed at age 21 nor does the income have to be dispensed annually
6 Certificate of Deposit that doesn’t have a fixed interest rate
7 Slow and steady Growth fund
8Buying stocks just before prices fall and selling stocks just before prices rise in a volatile market, often as the result of misleading signals.

9 Went all in
