Trip to the Zoo
Mr. Smith's class took a field trip to the zoo. The zoo had four elephants that the class watched at lunchtime. They discovered that each of the elephants had a favorite fruit and a favorite place to rest. Use the clues below to figure out each elephant's name and his or her favorite fruit and resting place.
  • Jasper doesn't like bananas, but loves to relax on the grass.
  • The elephant that was resting by the rocks ate an apple.
  • The elephant that ate a pear did not sit by the tree.
  • Angie sat by the water, but did not eat a pear.
  • Harry didn't sit by the tree and Mac doesn't like oranges.
Band around the Earth Puzzle
The Puzzle:The circumference of the Earth is approximately 40,000 kilometers, and someone has just made a metal band that circles the Earth, touching the ground at all locations.

You come along at night, as a practical joke, and add just 10 meters to its length (one hundredth of one kilometer !)

It is now one four-millionth longer, and sits magically just above the ground at all locations

How far has it risen ... could a flea, a rabbit or even a man squeeze underneath it?

Rearrange these letters to make a single word:
