Captian Kirk has been captured by evil Braingaloids. They bring him before the Big Braingaloid, who says to him:

"Captain Kirk, you are accused of meddling in our affairs. You may make one statement, but beware. If your statement is false, you will be fed to the lions. If you rstatement is true, you will be buried alive. If you don't say anything or if we can't verify your statement, you will be forced to drink poison. If your statement is not a statement or is a paradox, we will toss you into a pool of acid."

What should Captain Kirk say to get out of this mess?

Take the last letter from the first word and add it to the front of the second word...it forms a new word (Hale).

Take the second to last letter from the second word and add it to the front of the third word, it makes another word (Lable).

Keep working backwards and you get more words (Bear, Ebony).

But it does have a last letter...which is actually the first letter...lol lol There doesn't have to be a "fourth to last letter", there just has to be a pattern. However, for all I know it's the wrong answer and the real answer is something like what Sammi said...

Here's an even better (and more satisfying) answer than "Beam me up, Scotty"..lol

The statement Captain Kirk could have said was this: "You will not bury me alive, make me drink poison, or toss me into a pool of acid."

They wouldn't be able to do anything if he said that...lol

I gave up and looked in the book.
WHAT A STUPID ANSWER!


The answer: paper

"Great" trees are used to make paper. Trees are the largest living things on the planet and are therefore our grandest kin. A "se of paperwork" is a common phrase. With the development of the computer chip, we were promised a "pwperless society", which has not developed. rolleyes

Grandma has five apples and five grandchildren. She wants to feed all of her grandchildren an equal amount of apple, but the apples are all different sizes, so she can't figure out how to give each grandchild an equal amount.
Can you help her?

Turn them into apple pie or apple juice, and then divide the pie or juice 5 ways.

yes, give each child one apple; that is an equal amount.

Or cut the apples, weigh the parts and evenly distribute the weight.
