So, were do U,V, W, X, Y and Z go?  Above or below the line ????


Can I buy a clue?
On second thought I might have it.



Which reminds me ..

What is the rule by which the following numbers return these scores?



13 = 0
10 = 1
28 = 2
1928 = 3

12345678 = 4

Well, shit. I was going to ask for a hint, like it is modulo arithmetic, or something.

There are two balls in your mouth.
If I pull one out, will I lose half the intensity or gain double in one ball?

No hints for this one or I may accidentally give it away.

I came across one that may prove a right old poser:

It is a commonly accepted, but erroneous, belief that 7 x 13 = 91.  In fact, 7 x 13 = 28.  The can be checked by demonstrating that 28 / 7 = 13, and by showing that 13+13+13+13+13+13+13 = 28.

Hint:  Colgate Toothpaste

After a reasonable time for those who wish to have a go have had one, I'll post the solution.

Uh, if this was some prank to make me thoroughly examine my toothpaste it was indeed successful.
