Confusing and unsatisfactory.

Should I remove it or keep it and give you the points anyhow?

I'll let you decide, since you answered correctly first.

I didn't figure out the answer, I just remembered it. No points.

An ordinary man walks on water.

Explain how this could be.

Familial relation puzzles are not a strong point.

Water in its solid form is ice and easy to walk on. Convenient numbing effect when you fall down too.

Bingo. 3 points.

A local newspaper reported that Jacques Dubois finished first in a race held in France. His average speed was given, correctly, as 19,475 km/hour.

How could that be?

A woman meets the king, cries "Pain!", and loses consciousness.

Explain this true occurence (multiple answers possible, but one is more relevant)

A mob of people went to Versaille to petition the king to do something about the problem. A small delegation was admitted to meet the king. One woman, overcome with emotion, could only cry "Pain" (French for "bread") and faint.

French comma usage is different from English. In this case it translates to 19.475 kph.

Yup. But the "problem" you refer to is not explained. I'm getting a vague smell of "Essence of Google" from this... 1 point because incomplete. https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2005/03/1.gif

To prevent confusion, please indicate which question it is you are answering in your reply.



Dutch Schwartz introduced Benny Heinz to his friend as "Uncle Ben".

Benny Heinz introduced Dutch Schwartz to his friend as "Uncle Dutch".

"If you are uncles to each other," queried one of the friends, "you must also be nephews to each other."

"That's correct," replied Dutch.

Since there has been no breach of marriage law, how could such a relationship come to be?

---

They aren't actually uncle's to each other. Uncle Ben and Uncle Dutch are pop culture references. Thus the statement "If you are uncles to each other, you must also be nephews to each other" is logical but irrelevant as they arent actually related.

How's that for a work of imagination?
