Because it's not the right answer. Duh.

I'll give the correct answer if y'all give up. Not many lateral thinkers out there?

Well, I've taken my truck out with some vegetables in the back, to test your theory. I couldn't get an eggplant, so I substituted an aubergine, but luckily the pumpkins are in season, so I got a nice large one of those, and e have loads of tomatos, so I got 4. one really big one, a medium one, a small one, and a spare one for eating. In case you had different ones, you understand.

I rigged up a video camera in the back, and went a-driving. Around some sharp bends, and come home.

Watch the tape. The aubergine spins around in circles, the pumpkin sits its fat ass where it is no matter what the truck's doing, and the tomatos go all over the place. Which I judge to be "fallen". Or whatever word you wanna use on that side of the pond.

TOMATO!

(unless the answer is the eggplant, which describes a fairly tight curve as it rolls around in the back, but then its falling in a sharp curve, not on.)

I vaguely remembered how to solve this one, because I've seen it before and the solution was given with it. So I can't take all the credit for figuring out the answer. Other problems on the same site have links to the solutions, but not this one, so you can't cheat. (Not directly. I suppose someone could look it up elsewhere, but where's the fun in that? If you do decide to do that, please keep the answer to yourself.)

Six friends are playing a word game. To see who will start, they each draw a letter tile from a bag containg all the letters of the alphabet. Anna pulls out a J, Simon pulls out an R, Lauren pulls out and H, Joe pulls out a P and Marie Claire pulls out a C. Jaqueline's letter completes the sequence perfectly. WHAT IS IT??

Odds, were in your favor. but WRONG. But now since people will know it's a vowel, I expect to see some logic associated with the answer.

But yes, E is correct. Would you provide the associated reason.

Number of letters in a girls name, subtracted from 14 -> letter in alphabet.

14 - 9 = 5 -> E

Very good, using the middle of the alphabet, m-n, girls subtracted number of letters in their names, and the boys added theirs.

Nope, no one got the answer to mine yet. It's strangely paradoxical, yet in a strange way, it makes perfect logical sense. I think. It's not at all obvious. If no one can figure it out, I'll give the answer if you all give up.

Hint: Think recursively. Or rather, assume that the men in the problem will.
