This is one tough question! Especially for a 5th grader!

ahgong @ahgong (10064) • Singapore 24 Mar 09

Took me a long time to figure out the correct answer! And mind you, I did well in math in all my years in school! It is not at trick question. And the answer is achievable if you give it some time. But as a 5th grader...

jannike I got it in a minute or so. I think most people didn't consider the way the question was worded very well. There aren't 7 backpacks to start with (there are 49, because each of the 7 girls has 7, not 1, backpack), which is where most people went wrong in their...

Chicken or the egg?

Lore2009 @Lore2009 (7378) • United States 24 Jan 09

I started reading the Darwin book. Do you believe that the egg came first or the chicken came first?

jannike Neither- as someone has already mentioned, the chicken is a product of thousands of years of evolution. Technically, if you went back and found the exact point that the species we now recognise as a chicken actually became a chicken, the answer would be egg....

Who created men God or Darwin ?

K.Rajib G. @krajibg (11922) • Guwahati, India 3 Mar 09

Well, all religions are of the opinion that men ( both man and woman )are God's creation. In the "Genesis" of the Old Testament it is clearly stated that on the sixth day God created men and the seventh day He took rest. If we are...

jannike Ha, no one said that Darwin created human beings; he exposed us to the truth about how we came to be. I think that humans have a need to know why and how they are here- it is part of our nature. For thousands of years, religion has been the only way to answer...

jannike Barb42, you have no idea what you are talking about. Darwin never said that we were once monkeys, apes etc. Primates all evolved from a species that were around millions of years ago, which were neither humans nor apes, but which separated into different...

jannike Ok, I believe that you are studying for knowledge, but realistically, isn't to better yourself? Isn't it so that you can feel you understand the world better, so that you feel you have more control? I think the old line "make the world a better place" is a...
