2) How many birthdays does the average man have?

3) Some months have 31 days; how many have 28?

4) How many outs are there in an inning?

5) Is it legal for a man in California to marry his widow's sister? Yes/No

6) Divide 30 by 1/2 and add 10. What is the answer?

7) If there are 3 apples and you take away 2, how many do you have?

8) A doctor gives you three pills telling you to take one every half hour. How many minutes would the pills last?

9) A farmer has 17 sheep, and all but 9 die. How many are left?

10) How many animals of each sex did Moses take on the ark?
