Robert Biviano from Herkimer County Community College submitted all of his
correct answers and even came up with an alternate way of performing the math
calculation in question 5. Great work!

Celebrating Mother's Day… Some family fun questions!
- When Jane and Jim describe their children, they say: "They are all
blondes but two, all redheads but two, and all brunettes but two." How
many children do they have?
- If a man's mother-in-law can marry his son, and a woman's father can marry
her sister-in-law, can a man marry his widow's sister?
- A man owned an exquisite oil portrait known to have been painted by a world
famous 17th Century Dutch painter. When asked whom the painting was of, he
replied, "I have neither sister nor brother, but my mother's daughter
is that man's mother." Who was in the painting?
- A father asks his three sons, Gary, Nick, and Paul, to repeat three times
that they are sorry for upsetting their mother. They apologize in unison:
Gary: We are sorry. We are sorry. We are sorry.
Paul: We are sorry. We are sorry.
Nick: We are sorry. We are sorry. We are sorry. We are sorry.
Which boy did exactly as his father had asked?
