    Then they poured out the 5 gallon jug and put the 1 remaining gallon into the 5 gallon jug. So now there is one gallon in the 5 gallon. now all you have to do is fill the 3 gal. up again and pour it into the 5 gallon.

    All I know is I want a drink now. :D

    Okay, super easy one.

    I am lighter than a feather, yet no man can hold me for very long. What am I?

    Air. Or his breath.


    You throw away the outside and cook the inside. Then you eat the outside and throw away the inside. What did you eat?

    Air is close. To be specific, it's breath. :)

    So easy my kids could do it.

    Can you name five days of the week without saying (or writing) Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday or Saturday?

    Even easier. My husband could do this one. ;)

    Count every " F" in the following sentence (What could be easier than that?):

    Finished files are the result of years of scientific study combined with the experience of years.

    There are three words in the English language that end in -GRY. Two are HUNGRY and ANGRY. The third one everyone uses every day and knows what it stands for.

    The news letter thingy was put there by accident. Do not count the f's in that. This is what you get when you copy and past. :o

    Did you count the F's in the newsletter part?

    This is the sentence;

    Finished files are the result of years of scientific study combined with the experience of years.

    Sorry about that all. I did edit it. :o

    Sorry, I was off getting strokes from my buddy Vanheart. ;)

    I'd say the days in Spanish. Is that cheating?

    Lol aww sorry, I was just kidding...

    Nope I didn't count those F's. Just the ones in the sentence.

    Sadly I've heard this one before, and it drove me nuts. There are a few answers to it. I'll give you one of them. :)

    First, there are only two actual words in the English language ending in "gry". That part of the puzzle isn't important. The part that is, is this;

    There are only three words in "the English language" what is the third word.

    The answer is language. It's the third word in "The English Language"

    Well you're right. There are 6. Interesting fact though. Most people only count 4. For some reason the f's in of don't register for most people.
