2. A man goes to a party , drinks some punch , and then leaves early. Everyone else at the party who drinks the punch dies of poison. Why didn't the man die?

These seem too obvious to be right but anyway......

1. It was a drive-in movie.
2. He poisoned it......

How did I do?

3. One day Kerry celebrates her birthday. Two days later her older twin brother Terry celebrates his birthday. How could this be when they were born a half-hour apart?

4. How quickly can you find out what is so unusual about this paragraph? It looks so ordinary that you would think that nothing is wrong with it at all-and in fact nothing is. But it is a bit odd. Why? If you study it and think about it , you may find out , but I'm not going to assist you in any way. You must do it with out coaching. No doubt , if you work at it for long , it will dawn on you. Who knows?

Since we're talking about John's mother, I assume that the third kid would be John!
