YT: Your answer to question 2 is correct!

markwh: your answer to qustion 3 is correct!

I already knew the answers i was just seeing if anyone else can do lateral thinking questions!

Thaks!

Marsh

Are YT and I completely wrong about 1)? A knight (chess-piece shaped like a horse's head) jumps over a rook (or castle) and lands on a square already occupied by an opposing chessman (most likely a pawn). The pawn is thus taken and disappears from the board. In chess notation, NxP, though the castle has to be imagined.

Could you also explain 2) to me, please? The window cleaner "was really depressed with his boring job�. so he jumps out of a window" according to the question. marhwh has him jumping in and I can't see any connection with depression.

jno

Perhaps if question 3 was expressed "...so he jumps through a window"...?

keng

Perhaps the bottom 20 floors were below ground level.
