TeaPots



16 ounces (about half of pot A).  The amount of tea that can be kept within each pot is determined by the height of the spout opening.  The tea level cannot rise above the spout opening since any extra tea would merely spill out from the spout.  A simple visual estimate would conclude that the spout of teapot B is approximately half the height of that of teapot A, therefore providing only half of the capacity, or 16 ounces.

Chris's Birthday

  If today is January 1st, and December 31st was Chris' birthday and she turned 8, and on December 30 Chris was 7, and this year Chris will turn 9, then next year Chris is turning 10.

What are we?

    The number 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 0 on a US keyboard when you hold the shift button down.

Murder!!!

   Ans : 16 Name the 10 people with letters: A, B, C, ... and so on. A through F each call any one of G, H, I, or J (it doesn't matter which one). That makes six calls so far. Then G calls H and I calls J, after which G calls I and H calls J. Now we've used 10 calls, and G, H, I, and J all know everything. Finally, each of A through F is called by someone in G through J - 6 more calls to get everyone knowing everything. 16 calls in all.
