Q: Twenty years ago, a plane is flying at 20,000 feet over Germany.
If you will recall, Germany at the time was politically divided into
West Germany and East Germany.
Anyway, during the flight, TWO of the engines fail. The pilot,
realizing that the last remaining engine is also failing, decides on
a crash landing. Unfortunately, the engine fails before he has time
and the plane crashes smack in the middle of "no-man's-land" between
East Germany and West Germany. Where would you bury the survivors -
East Germany or West Germany or in "no-man's-land?"
*
*
*
*
A: You don't, of course, bury the survivors. If you said ANYTHING
else, you are a real dunce and you must NEVER try to rescue anyone
from a plane crash. Your efforts would not be appreciated... If you
said, "Don't bury the survivors" then proceed to the next question.

Q: If the hour hand on a clock moves 1/60th of a degree every
minute, then how many degrees will the hour hand move in one hour?
*

*
*
A: One degree. If you said "360 degrees" or anything else other
than "one degree", you are to be congratulated on getting this far,
but you are obviously out of your league.
Turn your pencil in and exit the room. Everyone else proceed to the
final question.
