Five Vowels

There are several english words that contain all 5 vowels (aeiou). How many can you name? For an extra challenge, can you name one or two that have the vowels in order? What about throwing in y?




For those of you who have been around for a while, I've had this question (in a slightly different format) before.

Logical Tire Use

A Farmer and His Stones

A farmer had a stone that he used to measure grain on his scale. One day his neighbor borrowed the stone, and when he returned, it was broken into four pieces. The neighbor was very apologetic, but the farmer thanked the neighbor for doing him a big favor. The farmer said that now he can measure his grain in one pound increments starting at one pound all the way to forty pounds (1, 2, 3, 17, 29, 37, etc.) using these four stones.

How much do the four stones weigh?


Stuck? There are some hints below:

Hint 1: The stones have broken (miraculously) into four parts that are each X pounds each, where X is a whole number. In other words, there's no stone that weighs 5 and 1/2 pounds, but there could be one that weighs 5 pounds.

Hint 2: Each stone is different in size.

Old One Eye

She has but one eye,
And a long tail that she would let fly.
Every time she went over a gap,
Part of her tail would get caught in a trap.
Who is she?

Think Hard

I am never quite what I appear to be. Straight-forward I seem, but it's only skin deep, for mystery most often lies beneath my simple speech. Sharpen your wits, open your eyes, look beyond my exteriors, read me backwards, forwards, upside down. Think critically and answer the question...what am I?

The Purple House

See the house? It is the purple house. The purple house is one story and every thing in it is purple. The doors are purple, the sofa is purple, the refrigerator is purple (go on as long as you like) now what color are the stairs?
