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

Dang...I read it twice and missed that, lol

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?

[b][i][color=\"gray\"][font=\"tahoma\"]The ball bearing would float in mercury wouldn't it?[/b][/i][/color][/font]

[color=\"green\"]~73 cubic centimeters..if it doesnt float /smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':)\' /> [/color]

[quote]~73 cubic centimeters..if it doesnt float[/quote]
Unfortunately that is the wrong answer Vercz, but nice try.... I don\'t even remember how to find the volume of a sphere.

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.

its not dense, it just has learning difficulties /happy.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\'^_^\' />

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.

I _ _ R _ V _ _ A _ I _ N [/b][/i][/color][/font]

[b][i][color=\"gray\"][font=\"tahoma\"]Close... /blum.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':P\' />. [/b][/i][/color][/font]

How about IMPROVISATION?

Yall are too fast lol.. I was getting ready to ask that /cry.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':(\' /> *kicks jake\'s doggy tale*

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]
