3. Where do lost tennis balls really go?

4. Why is the alphabet in that order?

5. How do you connect all nine dots in a square grid, using four straight lines only and never taking the pencil off the paper until it's done?

  3. A can inform you that Mermaids do not procreate, they spawn... its a half-full half empty kinda thing: you presume Mermaids are half human, i say they're half fish.

  4. No.4: If it were in another order it may well have been called the Betalph.

  6. The solution to question 5 is the source of that cringe-inducing cliche "thinking outside the box". Extend a line beyond the perimeter before bringing it back through another dot.
