Why do crackers have holes?

Answer 20

“The holes in the crackers are called docking holes. In order to stop these bubbles from expanding and bursting, a machine called a docker pricks holes in the dough to allow the air to escape so that the cracker can bake properly. This method reduces the air bubbles and ensures that the crackers are flat and crispy.”

Question 42

Wow! People have made Mind Reading medicine! I took it, and look at this!
Step 1: Choose a number from 1 to 100. Step 2: Add 10 to that. Step 3: Double that answer. Step 4: Add 100 to that ansswer. Step 5: Take half of that answer. Step 6: Subtract your original number you chose in the beginning from that answer.

Answer 42

Now I’m going to read your mind… Is Your Answer 60?

Here’s how it works:
Step 1: You choose a number, let’s call it x.
Step 2: x + 10 Step 3: 2(x + 10) = 2x + 20 Step 4: 2x + 20 + 100 = 2x + 120
Step 5: (2x + 120) / 2 = x + 60 Step 6: (x + 60) - x = 60

Question 43

How can you write 100 with 6 nines?

Step 3: Add 3 to that answer. Step 4: Double that answer.
Step 5: Add the OTHER number you chose in step 1 to that answer.
Step 6: Subtract 6 from that number.

Answer 44

The digits in the answer are the 2 numbers you chose.
Here’s how it works:
Step 1: Let’s call 1 number you chose x and the other y.
Step 2: x * 5 Step 3: x * 5 + 3 Step 4: 2(x * 5 + 3) = 2(5x + 3) = 10x + 6
Step 5: 10x + 6 + y Step 6: 10x + 6 + y - 6 = 10x + y
That means x will be the tens digit and y is the ones digit.

It’s cool, right? Here’s how it works!
Step 1: You picked a number, let’s call it x.
Step 2: Writing x twice is basically multiplying it by 1001.
Step 3: x1001 divided by 11 = x91 Step 4: x91 divided by 13 = x7
Step 5: x*7 divided by 7 equals x Step 6: x is the original number.

Question 50

Math Time! Jim took 15 minutes to walk 1 lap around the park, 5 minutes to walk from home to the park, and 5 minutes to go home. Jim walked 3 laps. Each lap is 2/3 of a mile. Going to the park and back is 1/2 miles. How many miles per hour did Jim walk?

Answer 50

Jim took (15*3)+5+5 = 55 minutes. Let's call that t, for time.
He walked 2 + 0.5 = 2.5 miles in all. That is d, for distance.
Remember that speed = dist/time (or s=d/t) so he walked about 2.5/55 = 0.04545... miles per minute. 0.04545... times 60 minutes = about 2.727... miles per hour.
