Where on this planet can you build a house where each side has a souther exposure?
1 place
And the bears would likely be white in that case.

*veto Moritheil's veto*

North pole, everywhere but up is considered 'south'. Polar bears, composing phase III of my plan to enslave the earth (don't ask, cuz I won't tell), regularly kick it at the North pole.

Hehe, no, the answer to number 5 is 9. If he had 17 and all but 9 died, then 9 would still be alive because they didn't die...get it? Image

Divide 30 by 1/2-- you're dividing, so you invert the fraction, therefore multiplying 30 by 2/1.

30 / (1/2) = 60
60 + 10 = 70
when dividing by fractions, you can just multiply by its reciprocal instead. for example, dividing by half = multiplying by 2

Divide BY half is different from divide IN half. Divide in half means divide by 2. Divide BY half is a tricky way of saying divide by .5. So essentially, multiply 30 by 2 and add 10.

On #4... the answer could also be 12, considering the logic. 30 divide by half could also equate to 30/15, 15 being half of 30. Actually, it would make more sense that way, considering it takes an assumption to get "half" = .5 when the question does not specify half of 1.

Heh, I laugh at my own logic, too. But you can figger out what I meant and it still makes sense.
