I'm going to post a couple of quiz type questions.PM me when you think you have the right answer . After I get a few responses I'll post the answer & the names of those that got it right.

Q 1. Duncan Drivel thought it might be nice to join the army,
so he went to the local library to find a book on volunteers.
While walking along the rows of books,he sees one with VOLIX
written on its spine. How should the title of this book be
pronounced?

Q 2. A trafic cop was stopped at a red light. Professor Bumble,
who had his mind on a lecture he was about to give, drove his
car right by him and through the light without stopping. The
cop witnessed the entire scene but made no attemp to stop him.
Why not?

Q 3. What is the next letter in the following sequence?
M A M J J A S O

Q 4. All the letters of the alphabet, except Z,are printed above or below the line. Where does the Z belong and why?

1/2. new door is an anagram of "one word".

3. If his widow was his second wife, it works.

4. Not sure if this is technically correct, but water is the only substance that is less dense in its solid form than its liquid form. However, that's due to an increase in volume, not mass (I think.) Alternately, water on Earth weighs more than ice on Mars due to the differences in gravitational pull between the planets.

Actually Serges is one smart cookie he's answered them all correctly.
Here's how the answer to #4 appears:
At 32 degrees fahrenheit, the density of ice is .9175, whereas,
the density of water at 32 degrees is .9988. When you add ice to water,you will notice that it always floats.

Q 1. Which one of the following words does not belong with the others and why?

Father
Aunt
Sister
Cousin
Mother
Uncle

Q 2. Can you translate the following?
Y Y U R Y Y U B I C U R Y Y 4 M E

Q 3. What is the next letter in the following sequence?
