Quiz of the day ....

I thought I would start a thread where odd little questions about odd little things could be asked for fun.

Here's an example to get started.

What's the real name of the symbol on your phone at the bottom right that is commonly referred to as the pound sign?

ok.
Question 2 is "life"
Question 7 is "4 / 1 + 9 - 8 = 97"

the rest, I'm completely clueless on. And probably completely wrong on 2&7 too *s*.

Q3: A man walks up to you and says - "everything I say to you is a lie."
Is he telling you the truth or is he lying?

Q4: A woman has 7 children, half of them are boys.
How can this be possible?

Q5:
A boy was at a carnival and went to a booth where a man said to the boy, "If I write your exact weight on this piece of paper then you have to give me $50, but if I cannot, I will pay you $50."

The boy looked around and saw no scale so he agrees, thinking no matter what the carny writes he'll just say he weighs more or less.

In the end the boy ended up paying the man $50. How did the man win the bet?

Have fun
