Answers in the following article - no cheating now! GOOD LUCK!

Answers: 1) All of them. Every month has at least 28 days.
2) 1 hour. If you take a pill at 1 o'clock,then another at 1.30 and the last at 2 o'clock,they will be taken in 1 hour.
3) 1 hour. It is a wind up alarm clock which cannot discriminate between a.m. and p.m.
4) 70. Dividing by half is the same as multiplying by 2.
5) 9 live sheep.
6) The match.
7) White. If all walls face south, the house must be on the North Pole.
8) 2 apples. I HAVE 3 APPLES, YOU TAKE 2, WHAT DO YOU HAVE?
9) None. It was Noah, not Moses.
10) YOU are the driver.

LOL, this "real life" engineer got caught out just the once for a score of 9. OK, well, twice possibly, but I went back and corrected my first answer after realising from the wording of the 4th question that the answers required careful study of the questions to find what was really being asked!!!

And the one that got me - I was too much of an engineer and not being properly suspicious - I wanted to light the candle first because it was easier to light the others from it, then extinguish the candle to economise so it could be re-lit after the ...... awww crap, what was I thinking (sulks).

here's one:

If a plane crashes EXACTLY and I mean EXACTY!!!! on the border between two countries: Spain and Portugal where do they bury the survivors??? In SPAIN or PORTUGAL???

A tractor has to harvest crops in a equilateral triangle! It takes 2 hours to do one side, another 2 hours to do the 2nd, but takes 120min to do the third!
Same speed, no slopes, why?
