Stop cutting down our forests! Use the natural way, simply rub your ass directly on the tree.
It's enviro-friendly and stops local kids from climbing in your garden.

Hmm, I'm not a teenager by any means, middle aged even! But I can hear that sound just fine and I'm not surprised.
I just tested that sound and it's at 14.9 Khz, far to low for the purpose. at least 17khz would be much better to rule out us oldies.

I can hear OK up to 16.5Khz and that's not exceptionally good for my age (too many years in bands killed my ears). Teenagers can usually hear up to 20Khz

Test your hearing

"Mr Welch, who weighs 111/2 stone"

It took me a while to decipher that number. I worked it out as 111/2 = 55.5 stone. Then I realised what was going on.

eleven and a half stone.

OK, carry on.

If my suit 'moved me' at the speed of a bullet I'm pretty sure I would make a loud snapping noise as all my bones broke in unison.

Moving me about at around 1000 meters per second?
I'm probably better off taking the bullet!

I think if I was actually a fan of American Football and was watching the Super Bowl I would be much more annoyed that it was interrupted three minutes from the end! It wouldn't matter what it was, three minutes from time is the wrong moment for anything!

BTW: I put "treated" in quotation marks mainly because Jenna Jameson is just not my idea of an erotic beauty. The sight of Jenna Jameson going at it would not turn me on.

Lastly, and most redundantly of all; The little I know about American Football is :

1) there are big guys who count out loud and then run into each other

2) it's a bit like Rugby, but played wearing spacesuits

3)the adverts are at least as important as the actual game.

oops, somehow a chunk of text dropped out of this post!
the second paragraph should have read:

With less than three minutes to play viewers were 'treated' to an unexpected interruption. The local broadcaster (Tucson-based KVOA-TV ) had somehow mixed up the feed from Super Bowl XLIII with a 30-second excerpt from Club Jenna, an adult cable TV channel featuring Jenna Jameson, one of America's most famous porn actresses.

sorry about that!

yep, certainly a UFO..

erm, or fireworks.

The Guardian is able to reveal one possible explanation. Late on Saturday night, the Guardian's director of digital content, Emily Bell, was a mere two miles from the Ecotricity plant when she witnessed an unusual light show in the night sky: the firework display she and her brother had arranged in their parents' garden to mark their father Peter's 80th birthday.

"There were several roman candles, and some of those ones which are orange and have the little blue dots when they go off," Bell said yesterday. Because it's so flat in that part of the world, you can see for miles and miles."

I agree with Violet, some of the questions are odd. The paris example is a good one, there needs to be a third clause "3: there is only one place in the world called Paris"

without that clause there can be many places called Paris, one of which is stated as being in New Zealand. So without the limiting clause Jenny could actually live in Paris, Texas, or Paris, France.

In other places the quiz setter makes use of 'unstated evidence' to support a result of 'invalid', for example the murderer is supposedly not Mary because there may be other evidence. Well, if we can't include an un-stated Paris, surely we can't include an un-stated cache of evidence in our deductions.

The use of a fictional character to justify that one is ridiculous "Sherlock Holmes made his name in such cases"

Er, someone better tell the author that Sherlock Holmes is a fictional character !

what about "facebook login"?

yeah, if only I could remember how to reach Facebook.com , what is the address for that place?
Hey, I know, I'll use Google. I'll just Yahoo up google's address because I can never remember that thing. Now, where did I write down how to access Yahoo.com.

etc.
