Bear in mind that the answers are all together, so if you're checking the solution to (1), you'll unavoidably see the solution to (2), too. (Heck yeah, all three to/two/too's in a row.)
1. In the English language, only one number is spelled with its letters in alphabetical order. What is that number? 3. Imagine that you have three boxes: one containing two black marbles, one containing two white marbles, and the third containing one black marble and one white marble. The boxes were labeled for their contents--BB, WW, BW--but someone has switched the labels so that every box is now incorrectly labeled. You are allowed to take one marble at a time out of any box, without looking inside, and by this process of sampling you are to determine the contents of all three boxes. What is the smallest number of drawings needed to do this?

He is allowed to say only two words every seven years. After the first seven years, the elders bring him in and ask for his two words. “Cold floors,” he says. They nod and send him away. Seven more years pass. They bring him back in and ask for his two words. He clears his throats and says, “Bad food.” They nod and send him away. Seven more years pass. They bring him in for his two words. “I quit,” he says. “That’s not surprising,” the elders say. “You’ve done nothing but complain since you got here.” A woman gets on a bus with her baby. The bus driver says, “Ugh, that’s the ugliest baby I’ve ever seen!” Fuming, the woman walks to the rear of the bus and sits down. She says to a man next to her, “The driver just insulted me!” “That's awful!" the man replies. "You should go up there and tell him off. Go ahead, I’ll hold your monkey for you.'' A beagle goes to a telegram office, takes out a blank form, and writes, “Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof.” The clerk examines the paper and politely tells the dog, “There are only nine words here. You could send another ‘Woof’ for the same price.” “But,” the dog replies, “that would make no sense at all.” I went to a fight the other night and a hockey game broke out. Here are some of my favorite last words attributed to famous people:
“Now why did I do that?” -- General William Erskine, after jumping from a window “Hey, fellas! How about this for a headline for tomorrow’s paper? ‘French Fries’!” -- James French, shouting to the press before his execution by electric chair “It’s stopped.” -- Joseph Henry Green, upon checking his own pulse “Is it my birthday or am I dying?” -- Lady Nancy Astor, upon seeing all her children assembled at her bedside “Die? I should say not, dear fellow. No Barrymore would allow such a conventional thing to happen to him.” -- John Barrymore “I don't feel good.” -- Luther Burbank “Take a step forward, lads. It will be easier that way.” --Robert Childers, before his execution by firing squad. “Doctor, do you think it could have been the sausage?” -- Paul Caludel (to his doctor, who had told him a joke) “That is indeed very good. I shall have to repeat that on the Golden Floor!” -- A.E. Housman “Don't worry, it's not loaded.” -- Terry Alan Kath (when asked if he had a final request before his execution by firing squad) “Why yes, a bulletproof vest!” -- James W. Rodgers “Nonsense, they couldn't hit an elephant at this distance.” -- John Sedgwick, in response to a suggestion that he should not show himself over the wall during the Battle of the Wilderness “I have just had eighteen whiskeys in a row. I do believe that is a record.” -- Dylan Thomas “Either this wallpaper goes, or I do!” -- Oscar Wilde “Go away... I'm all right.” -- H.G. Wells “Die, my dear? Why that's the last thing I'll do!” -- Groucho Marx “Don't let it end like this. Tell them I said something.” -- Francisco ("Pancho") Villa “I'd rather be fishing.” -- Jimmy Glass “I wonder why he shot me?” -- Huey P. Long, governor of Louisiana “I have a terrific headache.” -- Franklin Delano Roosevelt (when told by his doctors that angels were waiting for him) “Waiting, are they? Well let 'em wait!” -- General Mad Anthony Wayne “So, you are a cannibal?” -- Priyanka Bomb “Call the office and tell them I won't be in on Monday.” -- Betty Allen, who worked until her death at 93 “That was the best ice-cream soda I ever tasted.” -- Lou Costello (when asked why he was reading the Bible on his deathbed) “I'm looking for loopholes.” -- W.C. Fields “I'm bored.” -- St. John Philby "French is useful because the French speak English but pretend not to." -- John Green
