          How many months have 28 days?

2)    You are a cyclist in a cross-country race. Just before the crossing finish line you overtake the person in second place!
          What place did you finish in?


3)    Froggie fell down a 10-metre well. He cannot hop out. He has to climb out. He climbs three metres a day, but during the night, while resting, he slips back two metres.
