That's the same logic I had for my answer. Although you seem to know more animals than I do. :pQuote:

I think that this is fitting, since it is the symbol of the republicans: ELEPHANT!!!Quote:

The first letter of the animals spells out the word eclips(e). :thumbs:
An explanation of why "emu" is a correct answer.Quote:

The other point goes to you.
In farmer Brown's hay loft there are a number of animals, in particular crows, mice and cockroaches.
Being bored one day, I decided to count the animals and found there were exactly 150 feet and 50 heads in total, and there were twice as many cockroaches as mice.
How many of each animal were there?
__________
10 cockroaches, 5 mice and 35 crows.
10 CockroachesQuote:

x = Crows
y = Mice
z = Roaches
x + y + z = 50
2x + 4y + 6z = 150
z = 2y
x + y + 2y = 50, x + 3y = 50
Ahhh, screw it... You don't want to see this. :p
I've lost track, is this the way to the bus stop?
Just down the street sir.Quote:

In the room you are in are 2 individuals. The first is a knight, who always tells the truth, and a knave, who always lies. Both of these individuals know what is behind each door.
You do not know which individual is the knight, or which one is the knave. You may ask one of the individuals exactly 1 question.
What should you ask in order to be certain that you will open the door with the coffer behind it, instead of the hungry lion?
__________
You ask one of the individuals what the other one would say if you asked him which door is holding back the hungry lion and then open this door.
Ah, a classic. Ask either one, which would the other person say is the door to the coffer and take the other one. The knave, knowing the knight would give the correct answer, will direct you to the wrong door. The knight, knowing the knave would direct you to the wrong door, would answer truthfully and direct you to the wrong door as well.Quote:

What creature walks on four legs in the morning, two legs in the afternoon and three legs in the evening?
Easy one:
Are there more 2s or 8s in the numbers from 1 to 50,000?
__________
There are more 2s because of the numbers beginning with 20,000.
Already done. :cool:Quote:
