Wally Test

From the Worls Association of Learning, Laughter, and Youth (WALLY)
comes the WALLY Test! It is a set of quick-fire questions. They may
look easy, but be warned - they are designed to trick you. Write down
your answers and then see how many you got right. The time limit is
three minutes.

1. What is the last thing you take off before going to bed at night?
2. What gets longer when it is cut at both ends?
3. What was the first name of King George VI of England?
4. What do you call a fly without wings?
5. How many squares are there on a standard chessboard?
6. How many seconds are there in a year?
7. A man throws a ball three feet, it stops, and then returns to his
   hand without touching anything. How come?

   discovered?
9. Why can a policeman never open the door in his pajamas?
10. If 5 dogs kill 5 rats in 5 minutes, how long does it take 15 dogs
    to kill 15 rats?
