Peep a Cheep, Test time,

No cheating, the test is timed, It must be turned in by New Years day 2034.

1) How many "beware of Alligator" signs does JR have behind his garage? - JR has 3 signs. One in english, one in pictogram, and one in chicken.

2) How many white chickens does Jessica own? - Um...72? How about, as many as Jessica wants!

3) How many chickens is too many? - There can only be too many chickens if you run out of adequate space to make the little peeps happy. Otherwise, have fun and what's a few more?

4) Figure the hatch rate on the following:
A woman gets 25 eggs by mail and 25 from her neighbor, and 6 of her own eggs. After 10 weeks in the incubator 6 have hatched the rest rotted and exploded. What is the hatch rate? Wow - these eggs hatched after 10 weeks? Were they dinosaur eggs, because that is a different kind of story problem entirely. The eggs are hatching right around 11 percent, unfortunately there is noone there to take care of the 6 dinosaurs that hatched, because the rotting and ensuing explosions took care of all the people.


5: If you have a chickadee tapping on your window everyday for a week straight, what is wrong with the chickadee? What should you do? You have one of two problems on your hand. Problem one: The chickadee sees himself and thinks it's his mortal enemy, Other Chickadee. In this case, make popcorn and watch, it's funny. Problem two (more common at my house) - Chickadee really likes the food in the bird feeder, and it's empty. Resolution - fill the feeder, then make popcorn and watch.

6, If you are out of vodka on camp day what is the first step in assuring a good camp day? You have a few options here. Option 1: Drink the Gin, or Scotch, or Whiskey, or Rum, or Pisco, or Bourbon, or Brandy that are in your bar instead. (yes, all of those are in my bar, along with a few liqueurs). Option 2: Send the Squeemish friend who has offered to help to the store to buy MORE vodka. I live in WI, we can buy this on any day of the week.

7) How many eggs did MM get from Ethel? Ever?!!! Ethel's probably been making eggs for a while, this is a loaded question.

8) How many hatched? 5.

9) How long did she go without talking to her DH after hatching day? Long enough to play with ALL the chicks! Then he brought her vodka, and all was forgiven.

10) How many Alligators does Linda raise? ...You do all realize that Alligators are out to take over the world, right? Seriously - every plot that is evil, conniving or ruthless can be brought back to having an alligator behind it. Sometimes, those alligators dress up like humans, but really, they are alligators. Once in a great while, an alligator desires to change its skin, and be a good guy. I'm hoping Linda is raising a few of these kinds. Or maybe Linda says she is raising alligators, but what she is doing is really brainwashing them and turning them into her own evil minions?

11) Why doe Morrigan hang out here with us? - because you are all awesome people, that's why!


11) why is there no scrap lumber or boards anywhere around Homs' Grandpa's farm? Because all the scrap lumber has been turned in to chicken tractors, or burned in one heck of a bonfire.


Good luck, hopefully we will still talk to you after the test...

Ok, how'd I do? Do I get to stay?

 

[holm25]

Oh wow u did great I think. But the real judge has not yet decided!! Ralphie

 

[duluthralphie]

Ok - Since I haven't quite finished all the posts, bad me not doing my homework, I'm going to do what I did (maybe too much) during school. I'm going to give each question a creative and well though out response, and hope for partial credit.

1) How many "beware of Alligator" signs does JR have behind his garage? - JR has 3 signs. One in english, one in pictogram, and one in chicken. No one really knows is the correct answer, every time he is questioned about the signs he requests an attorney.

2) How many white chickens does Jessica own? - Um...72? How about, as many as Jessica wants! I think the answer is 2, but We can never be sure whenever asked about the number of chickens of any kind or color, she asks for her attorney and takes the 5th

3) How many chickens is too many? - There can only be too many chickens if you run out of adequate space to make the little peeps happy. Otherwise, have fun and what's a few more? Once again the correct answer is nobody knows, anyone that has owned a chicken claims they have not reached the maximum number yet,,, However, Spouses of said chicken owners think they have too many already..

4) Figure the hatch rate on the following:
A woman gets 25 eggs by mail and 25 from her neighbor, and 6 of her own eggs. After 10 weeks in the incubator 6 have hatched the rest rotted and exploded. What is the hatch rate? Wow - these eggs hatched after 10 weeks? Were they dinosaur eggs, because that is a different kind of story problem entirely. The eggs are hatching right around 11 percent, unfortunately there is noone there to take care of the 6 dinosaurs that hatched, because the rotting and ensuing explosions took care of all the people. This was a basic chicken math question, you failed. If an egg has to be mailed or travel over a public road you need to exclude it from the total number of eggs placed in the hatcher, Plus if a mailed egg hatches you count it as 2, because of the hardships a shipped egg suffers. The correct answer is 137%.


5: If you have a chickadee tapping on your window everyday for a week straight, what is wrong with the chickadee? What should you do? You have one of two problems on your hand. Problem one: The chickadee sees himself and thinks it's his mortal enemy, Other Chickadee. In this case, make popcorn and watch, it's funny. Problem two (more common at my house) - Chickadee really likes the food in the bird feeder, and it's empty. Resolution - fill the feeder, then make popcorn and watch. You have again failed, You missed the obvious, the Chickadee is a zombie bird or a re-incarnation of someone you wronged. The correct answer is move to a new house hours away.

6, If you are out of vodka on camp day what is the first step in assuring a good camp day? You have a few options here. Option 1: Drink the Gin, or Scotch, or Whiskey, or Rum, or Pisco, or Bourbon, or Brandy that are in your bar instead. (yes, all of those are in my bar, along with a few liqueurs). Option 2: Send the Squeemish friend who has offered to help to the store to buy MORE vodka. I live in WI, we can buy this on any day of the week. I give you 50% on this answer while your solution works it is the wrong one, what if you had a medical emergency while the friend was getting the vodka? You would be screwed. You must postpone camp day until there is Vodka on the premises!

7) How many eggs did MM get from Ethel? Ever?!!! Ethel's probably been making eggs for a while, this is a loaded question. The correct answer is 5, they were mailed to her.

8) How many hatched? 5. None hatched, Hubby caused a hatching failure. However, referring back to question 4, you will see MM at a hatch rate of 100% on Ethels eggs.

9) How long did she go without talking to her DH after hatching day? Long enough to play with ALL the chicks! Then he brought her vodka, and all was forgiven. She started talking to him again, when he decided to wear a turkey on his shoulder while hoisting a beer.

10) How many Alligators does Linda raise? ...You do all realize that Alligators are out to take over the world, right? Seriously - every plot that is evil, conniving or ruthless can be brought back to having an alligator behind it. Sometimes, those alligators dress up like humans, but really, they are alligators. Once in a great while, an alligator desires to change its skin, and be a good guy. I'm hoping Linda is raising a few of these kinds. Or maybe Linda says she is raising alligators, but what she is doing is really brainwashing them and turning them into her own evil minions? Again no one knows, Linda also takes the 5th asks for and attorney and then denies she owns any alligators.

11) Why doe Morrigan hang out here with us? - because you are all awesome people, that's why! We have all wondered that, some have pondered her normalcy.


11) why is there no scrap lumber or boards anywhere around Homs' Grandpa's farm? Because all the scrap lumber has been turned in to chicken tractors, or burned in one heck of a bonfire. You were right to start with, you went too far so you lost 50%

When I add it up you got almost 10% That is passing here, so welcome aboard,,


Good luck, hopefully we will still talk to you after the test...

Ok, how'd I do? Do I get to stay?
