The question doesn't say a 'dozen' of what. If it said a dozen stamps, the answer would be 12.
As written, the question cannot be answered IMHO :)
If a doctor gives you three pills, telling you to take one every half hour, how many minutes will the pills last?
60 min. or an hour. You take the first one as soon as the dr. gives them to you.
Similar problem as the one above. What does 'pills lasting' mean, and how do you know that the MD said 'take one now'?
If it's their quantity, and you started right away, it's 60 min; if it's their impact 90 minutes. If you were to start taking them after 30 minutes, impact would still be 90 minutes. Unless 'last' means cure, which means they would last forever lol.
I got them all right except the baseball one! and even now that i know the answer i still dont understand!!! lol
Shame on me....I missed the one about the ark........And I used to read Bible stories to my little sisters and brothers evey night :o
