You can tell you both have seen these before . Unless I'm really stupid . When I first saw them (ages ago), I got tricked out on nearly all of them! .

[Abbie]

Lol believe it or not I havent seen them before, but knew I was going to be tricked so thought about it carefully and slowly

[CrazyLea]

Although actually, looking at Kaths answer for number 8, don't think she has seen them before .

[Abbie]

Lol well yeah, all you have to do is read them slowly and it makes sense

[Chloe O'brien]

What's wrong with my answer for number 8? It makes perfect sense to me. Noah took the animals into the ark 2-by-2 i.e. 2 elephants and two monkeys. Therefore there would have had to have been 1 male elephant and 1 female elephant.

[Behemoth]

Read the question again? Noah took the animals on the Ark.

The question states how many animals Moses took on the Ark. I fell for that the first time I was asked those questions. Abbie is right, you have to think very carefully about the questions and answers.
