I will give Kern credit for 25, since the wording is not quite how I remember hearing it before when I was in school. If I am not mistaken it should go something like this "Jack and Jill are lying on the floor inside the house, dead. They died from lack of water. There is shattered glass next to them, yet the floor is all wet. How is this possible?" No big deal I guess...anyways, on to the second part.

I think I had 14 if you count answers that are right but not the accepted "correct" answers, but whatever. I'm deducting a half point from your standings for your Pirates' answer not being completely partly correct.
Haha, what other ones did you think deserved credit? If you can convince me, then yeah I will give it to you.
Obviously Midget in a Satellite deserves a point...but I'm unsre which you didn't give me credit for. Let me go over some of the "incorrect" ones I think should count:
#1. A railing is basically the same as carpet, and I would argue that railings are more common than carpet on stairs.
#4. A refrigerated runs, if it's a pun you're after it works just as well as nose.
#15. The more "Time" you take to do something, the more you leave behind. That works right? Maybe that one is pushing it...
#20. And laughter can obviously fill a room, it's a saying right?
That should give me at least 1 more point. I obviously take this very seriously, haha. I will have some answers for today's quiz shortly...
