Why do crackers have holes?

This method reduces the air bubbles and ensures that the crackers are flat and crispy.”

Question 42

Wow! People have made Mind Reading medicine! I took it, and look at this! Step 1: Choose a number from 1 to 100. Step 2: Add 10 to that. Step 3: Double that answer. Step 4: Add 100 to that ansswer. Step 5: Take half of that answer. Step 6: Subtract your original number you chose in the beginning from that answer.

Answer 42

Now I'm going to read your mind... Is Your Answer 60? Here's how it works: Step 1: You choose a number, let's call it x. Step 2: x + 10 Step 3: 2(x + 10) = 2x + 20 Step 4: 2x + 20 + 100 = 2x + 120 Step 5: (2x + 120) / 2 = x + 60 Step 6: (x + 60) - x = 60

Question 43

How can you write 100 with 6 nines?

Step 6: Subtract 6 from that number.

Answer 44

The digits in the answer are the 2 numbers you chose. Here's how it works: Step 1: Let's call 1 number you chose x and the other y. Step 2: x * 5 Step 3: x * 5 + 3 Step 4: 2(x * 5 + 3) = 2(5x + 3) = 10x + 6 Step 5: 10x + 6 + y Step 6: 10x + 6 + y - 6 = 10x + y That means x will be the tens digit and y is the ones digit.

Question 50

Math Time! Jim took 15 minutes to walk 1 lap around the park, 5 minutes to walk from home to the park, and 5 minutes to go home. Jim walked 3 laps. Each lap is 2/3 of a mile. Going to the park and back is 1/2 miles. How many miles per hour did Jim walk?

Answer 50

``` Jim took (15*3)+5+5 = 55 minutes. Let's call that t, for time. He walked 2 + 0.5 = 2.5 miles in all. That is d, for distance. Remember that speed = dist/time (or s=d/t) so he walked about 2.5/55 = 0.04545... miles per minute. 0.04545... times 60 minutes = about 2.727... miles per hour. ```
