What is at the beginning of eternity, and the end of time and space; the beginning of every end and the end of every place?
The same thing that is at the beginning of everything and at the end of foot-loose.
If you look at a clock and the time is 3:15, what is the angle between the hour and the minute hands?
0°
The grand old Duke of York, he had 100 hundred men. He had them march up to the top of the hill and turn around and shake the hands of every man they passed. How many hand-shakes were there?
9900? Unless the Duke is doing the marching as well in which case it would be 10,000.
Three horses are in a field, starting in a triangular formation, 100m apart from each other, facing the centre. Each horse starts running towards the horse to it's left until it meets the horse. Assuming that the horses are running at the same speed as each other, how far does each horse run?
Hmm. Assuming that the horses are running towards each other then they would constantly correct where they were running to. Therefore they would all reach the centre of the triangle at the same time.
It's a long, long time since I did maths like that, but Id say roughly 43 meters? Maybe
An old professor has decided to paint the 20 steps leading to his house. He buys two colours, red and blue, and paints the steps so that there aren't two blue steps next to each other. What is the name of the professor? (Hint: Find out how many permutations the steps can be painted in)
I've no idea. But he should take up golf.
