解答Biddles

1. Why did the boy sprinkle sugar on his pillow before he went to sleep?

「sprinkle」是均勻的灑（糖），為什麼那男孩睡前要在枕頭上灑糖粉呢？

答案是→So he could have Sweet dreams.（那麼他才可以一夜美夢）

祝別人睡得安穩，通常會說「sweet dreams！」對幼童有時會捉狹地說：「sleep tight, don't let the bug bite！」（好好睡，別被蟲咬了）也是希望他「一覺到天亮」的意思。

2. There is a family with 5 kids and exactly half of them are boys. How is this possible?

有一家人有五個小孩，剛剛好一半是男孩，這怎麼可能呢？

答案是 →They're all boys!

「exactly half 」是「正好一半」，五除以二是二點五，怎麼會有兩個半小孩？除非是五個小孩都是男的，怎麼分都行！

3. What is green on the outside, red when you eat and black when you spit out?

什麼東西外面是綠的，吃它的時候是紅的，吐出來又變成黑的？

答案是→Watermelon（西瓜）

西瓜皮是綠的，切開是紅的，吐的籽是黑的。如果覺得這謎語流傳已久，改用英文問答，就不會嫌「太簡單了！」
