Ready for the answers from last week?

- The fishing party consisted of three people – a grandmother, a mother and a daughter. The mother is both a mother and a daughter.
- Throw the ball straight up, or against a wall.
- Mt. Everest was still the highest mountain even before it was discovered!
- Distribute 1 orange each to the four people. And then give the fifth orange together with the basket to the last person.
How many did you get right?
