Here are a few of 'Tickle's Teasers' from the website..


1 If a cat always lands on its feet and buttered bread always lands butter side down, what would happen if you tied buttered bread on top of a cat?

2 On the periodic table, why do some elements have symbols with letters that aren't even in the word?

3 Do cows drink milk?

4 If you were born exactly on 12:00 midnight on December 31st – January 1st, which year would you say you were born in?

5 Why can't we sneeze with our eyes open?

6 Why are there dents in a golf ball?

7 Why is it that when babies are born they only weigh like 7lbs yet the mum weighs 30lbs more?

8 Can you write in pencil on an eraser?

1 The cat would still land on its feet ofcourse. -.-'

I like Braniac, Braniac history abuse isn't that good though.

As some of their names have been given in Latin e.g. Calcium = Na and Na are letters out of the latin word for Calcium!

It's not going to be the same without Richard Hammond.
