I'm fourteen. I have only a few close friends, and am more suited for being solitary. I love, love, love to read fiction, particuarly fanfiction and fantasy, and I love to write (have since I was ten), but have yet to actually finish one of my stories. I play the violin, and cannot stand rap, but like rock, alternative and pop. Even a little new age is all right for me. I love to cook, and I play in two sports: Softball and Fencing. I have one sister, two brothers and a yellow lab named Max. I live in Grosse Pointe, Michigan.

TRICK QUESTIONS:

1) How quickly can you find out what is unusual about this paragraph? It looks so ordinary that you would think that nothing was wrong with it at all, and in fact, nothing is. But it is unusual. Why? If you study it and think about it you may find out, but I am not going to assist you in any way. You must do it without coaching. No doubt if you work at it for long, it will dawn on you. I don't know. Now, go to work and try your luck.

2) If there are six apples and you take away 4, how many do you have?

3) If you had only one match, and entered a dark room containing an oil lamp, some newspaper, and some kindling wood, which would you light first?

4) Imagine you are driving a bus. When you start your trip there are an old lady named Johnson and a longhaired kid on the bus. At the first stop the lady leaves and a businessman enters. At the next stop Frankie, a young boy, enters with his little sister. Then three old ladies who have been shopping in the mall get on. After a short trip the long-haired kid leaves the bus and a man and lady enter. Paul with his dog Blue gets on, while Frankie and his sister get off, and, finally, the bus arrives at the bus station. What is the name of the bus driver?

5) Start with three coins: a penny, a nickel and a quarter. Say, "Tommy's mother has three children. The first child's name is Penny." (Hold up the penny while saying this.) "The second child's name is Nick." (Hold up the nickel.) What is the third child's name? (Hold up the quarter.)

6) Is it legal for a man to marry his widow's sister?

7) A man dressed all in black is walking down a country lane. Suddenly a large black car without any lights on comes round the corner and screeches to a halt.How did the driver know there was a man in the road?
