You wake up and you are on Venus! From a small speaker you hear a voice that says, "We will leave you here either for a day or a year. If you choose to stay a day, we will give you $1 million. If you choose to stay a year, we will give you $2 million. Either way, you will have enough food and water. We will make sure the temperature is a constant 70 degrees Fahrenheit. We will also supply cable TV."
What is your choice? (Hint: Don't let money decide your answer. Think about Venus and the Sun.)
A farmer is trying to cross a river with a bag of corn, a hen, and a fox. The farmer's boat is only big enough to take himself and one other item per trip. The hen cannot be left alone with the corn or she will eat it. Likewise the fox cannot be left with the hen, or the hen will be eaten. How does the farmer get all three items across the river?
Good Luck! Bring me your answer and you'll get a prize.
So this weekly challenge is a bit easier than the last 2 weeks. BUT...you will have to look up your answers! I know you will learn something while you are doing this quiz.
Good luck!
