Check previous page.

[spacesailor]

I did . But it makes no sense to me ! . As there's no A .

' milonelion ' .

A I kept changing it to million .  Before I finished typing .

spacesailor

[red750]

There is no IN in the clue either. The question asked for a rare FOUR WORD expression. The ONE is in the MILLION.

 

     MILONELION

[spacesailor]

OK

Penny has dropped! .

Thanks

In preparation for next week’s audition for ‘Cats’, Britanny’s singing teacher has her perform the following sequence in order EACH DAY. What are the next two vowels Britanny must sing?

OA, UEA, EEA, UA, IA, AUA,  ??
 

More than 36 hours and no takers.

 

The answer is UA.   

 

The letters are the vowels in days of the week, MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY. The last day is SUNDAY.

 

 

 

OK, try this one.

 

Have a careful think about these letters. On reflection, which is the odd one out?
W  X  Y  Z

 

 

[Jerry_Atrick]

I would guess that W X and Y have a V shape in the and Z doesn't...

 

[red750]

Right answer, but not the reason. The question says "On reflection".

 

If you hold a mirror up to each letter, Z is the only one that's different.

 

[Jerry_Atrick]

Yes.. I though reflection, buy was thinking reflecting on its axes, not dounbling up the image. I knew it was something about the shape.

[red750]

What do you get if you multiply all of the numbers on a telephone keypad?

[Marty_d]

0

[red750]

Absolutely correct.

 

 

 

What is the next letter in this sequence?   1.f  2.e  3.i  4.r  5.?

[pmccarthy]

B

[red750]

No, Pete. Anyone else?

Looks like nobody else has a clue. The missing letter is "H". Each letter represents that number letter when spelt out.

 

FIRST   SECOND    THIRD    FOURTH    FIFTH

 

Don't ask me who comes up with these questions.

 

 

[red750]

When can you add two to eleven and get one as the correct answer?

[Marty_d]

On a clock

[red750]

On the ball again, Marty.

 

What  is the largest number between 1 and 1,000,000 that, when written out in words, does not contain the letter N.

[Marty_d]

Eighty-eight?

[red750]

Man, you're hot tonight. This one might take a little longer.

 

 

What is the next letter in this sequence?
SENTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
 

[red750]

Two days. No bites. But it was the 1% question. Only one contestant out of 100 made it to this point. If she could answer it, she would take home 100,000 pounds UK. She missed it and took home nothing.

The initals of every number from 17. 

Seventeen  Eighteen  Nineteen  Twenty  Twenty one >>>>>>>>Thirty  >>>>>>>>> Forty.

So the next letter in the sequence is F.

Try getting that in 30 seconds.

 

This one is a bit easier. 

Here is the next question, which is to ask you how many times is the word is being used in the question itself?

 

 

[spacesailor]

Three 

The fourth is before the question. 

spacesailor

 

[red750]

On the program, they said 4 was the correct answer, because the preamble finshed with a comma, not a full stop, so forms part of the question. Contestants who selected 3 were eliminated.

 

 

Which is the odd one out?
TROJAN
DISMAY
TRANSEPT
CONCOCT
JUSTIFY
