  1. 8. God can create anything hence he could create a stone and then state that he himself would not be able to lift it. As God has decreed it then so shall it be.

  2. 1. Let's say that the armor is 10 cm thick (or however thick it is). Since the bullet is capable of shooting through anything, when the bullet hits the armor it will penetrate 5 cm of that armor. The bullet still gets through half of the armor (true), and does not penetrate the armor at all (true). 2. Yes he can. But whether he dies or not is another problem. 3. No. There's no point in accepting a mission that is bound to fail from the start. 4. I agree with the previous posts. Go to the time when the girl was already born, and there should be no problem at all. 5. "Twice as cold" is rather subjective. Instead of measuring the temperature, maybe we can try this: if today I wear a coat, maybe tomorrow I should wear two coats. 6. "Yes" is false, "No" will confuse the asker. 7. I will travel together with the light from my headlights. 8. "God has the power to create anything. He also has the power to lift anything. Can he create something that he cannot lift?" this is a very nice paradox. If he is a God, then he is (supposed to be) able to create anything. He is also (supposed to be) capable of lifting anything. But if he is to create a stone that is supposed to be unliftable, yet he is capable of lifting it; that would neglect the fact that he can create anything out of his will.

  3. Keep asking weird/stupid questions. (Why are your eyes brown? Why is a banana yellow? What color is an orange? How does my shoe smell *hold shoe to their nose* ? What's the difference between god and the devil? Why are you putting rope around your neck?)

  4. I don't really think it's a question entirely about math. Wouldn't the word "makes" or "equals" need to be in there to make you add? or "the sum of seven and five is..." The words is and are imply a state of being which numbers by themselves do not have. To me the only way this statement makes sense is to say that seven and five are numbers of some kind of nouns. I guess they would be pronouns in the statement. And 13 is another sort of designation. Apples and oranges are fruit. That being said I didn't see it as asking me to add the numbers together. I saw them as seperate objects. Maybe 13 year old students (wouldn't that be about right for the age group of this sort of question?) Seven and five are thirteen. Seven is thirteen Five is thirteen Seven and five equal twelve... The sum of seven and five is twelve... Also, another point. The information given by the question supports my logic. I just made up my own story as to how either statement could be correct. To me it asks which statement is correct. Not if 7+5=13. If I had a teacher ask my kid this, then tell him he was wrong because he answered "ARE" I would be pretty pissed. This question is probably why half of people that speak english say "apples IS good" instead of "apples ARE good"
