CONGRATULATIONS!  ps2gamer_59 has won the game!  May your knowledge of word puzzles get you far in life!  (It\'s done wonders for me!)

Never fear, I feel a second season coming along.  Who will have the guts to face our champion!

.

Here are the answers:

1) 13579 AZ

"Odds" and "Ends"

2) Pot O O O O O O O O

Pot 8 o\'s ===> potatoes

3) chawhowhorge

cha who who rge  ===> who\'s in "charge"

4) There are 10 socks of each of the following colors in a drawer: blue, green, red, yellow & white, for a total of 50 socks. If the socks are randomly distributed in the drawer (i.e. not in pairs or any other grouping), & you are blindfolded, what is the minimum number socks you must draw from the drawer in order to be certain you have at least 2 socks of the same color?

6 ===> Just your luck, you pull 1 blue, then 1 green, 1 red, 1 yellow, and 1 white.  No matter what you get next, it will match with one of the previous 5.  So. . . 6[/u].

5) If you are in the same situation as in the preceding problem, how many socks must you draw from the drawer in order to be certain you have at least 2 socks of different colors?

11 ===> With bad/good luck, you pull out all the yellow socks, no matter what the next one is, it won\'t be yellow.  So. . . 11[/u].

6) Decide what number comes next in this stately series: 4, 0, 3, 1, 0, 1, _

1 ===> "STATELY"  4 states begin with \'A\' : 0 with \'b\' : 3 \'c\' : 1 \'d\' : 0 \'e\' : 1 \'f\' : 1[/u] \'g\'

7) If a plane crashed on the border of the USA and Canada, where should the survivors be buried?

Only sick, sick people would bury survivors!

8) How many species of each animal did Moses take aboard the ark?

Uh, didn\'t Noah have the Ark?  Oh yeah!

9) How many months have 28 days?

All of them!  Ha!

10) How far can a bear walk into the woods?

Half way, \'cause after that he\'s walking out of the woods.

11) A camper leaves her camp, hikes 1 mile south, then 1 mile east where she sees a bear. Then she hikes 1 mile north to arrive at her camp. What color is the bear?

White ===> The only place in the world where you can follow that particular route and end up in the exact same place as where you started, is the North Pole.  That bear has to be white, a polar bear.

12) If a rooster lays an egg on the peak of a roof, will the egg roll to the left side or to the right side?

Rooster don\'t lay eggs!  Doh!

13) If a south bound electric train is traveling at a rate of 66 miles per hour and the wind is blowing to the north at 35 miles per hour, which way will the smoke blow?

Purely electric trains don\'t blow smoke!  Doh! (again)

That was fun Trog, looking forward to more. Too bad I missd out on most of the contest. The way you did the last one was good though.
