Explain. > [@](#): > > 1. at any point in time the earth’s time zones can be viewed with 4 seperate peaks or corners, he views this as 4 different days each moving through is own day. Now why each time zone can’t be viewed as moving through its own day I can’t tell and viewed another way that is more concrete to me there are always three days existing simutaneusly (from where I live there is always someone a day ahead of me and someone a day behind. Maybe the theory is that is like a double Janus head each aspect (corner, peak) can only see from it’s point of view so it only sees it’s “day”. If it was viewed as each time had a sepaerate day the aspects could “see” the aspects nearest it. I can’t believe you passed up the opportunity to use the phrase [educated stupid](http://www.timecube.com/). 😃 Still, you had to slog through that website, and for that I salute you. 10 points! ---

[QUOTE=Gadarene] **adhemar:** Explain. Charles Wheeghman a restranteur built a baseball field for his fave team the the ChiFeds also known as the Whales. He soon sold the team and the field. the field later became Wrigley field apparently nicknamed the Friedndly Confines and the team the Chicago cubs. His daughter apparently about 8 at the time of his selling the field is Dorothy Jane and apparently the only female worth mentioning in his life. If you had asked for his “mistress” I would have said baseball of the ChiFeds/Whales/Cubs but that is a different question all together. ---

That’s exceptionally creative. Can you show me anything indicating that Mr. Wheeghman was commonly referred to as ‘Chad’? ---

**2) If I’m a hound and I see three lines, each above the other, extending in the same direction and not meeting, what should I do?** Try to remember what colour each line was, use that knowledge to figure out the colour of the bottles in front of the lines, and then pick the bottle with the antidote. (Or you could save your game and try the bottles one by one.) ---

> [@Gadarene](#): > > 1. For any N (N being a number), who’s greater than N? (10 points) Far too obvious to be correct (especially in light of the the word “who’s”), but: **N+1** Hmm…as I look at my answer in preview, the lateral thinking begins. Instead of **N+1** , we could look at as **N and 1**. And if we lateral think that over to Espanol, we get: Who’s greater than N? **N y 1**! 🙂 ---
