Is it that there isn\'t a single \"e\" in the paragraph?

Cool

/smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':)\' /> ..... okay I\'ve got one:

Suppose you have an open topped box that is 5cm x 5cm x 5cm. (capacity: 125 cubic centimeters) Inside the box is a steel ball-bearing that is 25 cubic centimeters in size. Next to the box is a two liter pail filled with mercury. How many cubic centimeters of mercury would you have to pour into the box to completely submerge the ball bearing?

Unfortunately that is the wrong answer Vercz, but nice try.... I don\'t even remember how to find the volume of a sphere.

[quote]The ball bearing would float in mercury wouldn\'t it?[/quote]
Way to go mobil! ..... yes that\'s correct, mercury is so dense that steel floats in it, therefore it would be impossible to submerge the ball-bearing in an open topped box.

Hmmm, another brain twister, here's a good one:

Twist your mental abilities and see if you can make another word (from the english language) by filling in the gaps.

How about IMPROVISATION?

lol.... Yelp!

Okay, well I\'ll assume that IMPROVISATION is the correct answer and put up a new one:

There are several possible answers to this one and it\'s rather easy.
[b]Name a word in the english language that has seven syllables.[/b]

[b][i][color=\"gray\"][font=\"tahoma\"]Congrats fdj, "Improvisation" was correct.

And as for your 7 syllable one... hmmm... not too sure on that, will think about it at work today lol... not like i have anything better to do at work. [/b][/i][/color][/font]
