A boy was born in 1990. He turned 15 in 1995. How is this possible?

1990 is a venue not the year of birth?
No that doesn’t make sense. Withdrawing.
1990 was the room number.
Correct
3 doors. 1 let's you live. Choose.
Door 1 - inside an active volcano
Door 2 - an assassin hired to kill you
Door 3 - a lion who hasn't eaten in a month
3. Not scared of a dead cat
Yup.
Your turn @Rip
Cool, easy one...
What makes the number 8,549,176,320 unique?
I'll let someone else answer but its easy.
I thought so but it’s my sons favourite number so...
It's the only number of all numbers that is 8,549,176,320
It has all the numbers in alphabetical order.
Just to be "that guy", this is incorrect in Cyrillic or Arabic…Originally Posted by Rip
Just to be "that guy" again, lions can fast for over a month and you just were just dinner for a starving animal.
Nope, around 14 days average, in extreme cases an exceptionally well fed example might last a month but at that length of time it would be in no condition to bring down prey.

They would not be able to bring down a water buffalo at that point but an unarmed human would be rather easy.
Even the article states that’s a never before seen case.
Average lion? I’m backing it to be a rug.
I'd pay good money to see Rip fight a lion.
As long as it hasn’t been fed for a month and I get a good percentage of the gate and box office
This is correct also?

It is also the only number that is the sum of 8,549,176,319 + 1.
I also don't know why I assumed it would have water while locked in the closet. Even if it could survive without food, it could never survive without water.
Really I was just being a jack-ass.
I really don't have a good one so if anyone else has one that wants to go.
An Arab sheik is old and must leave his fortune to one of his two sons. He makes a proposition: Both sons will ride their camels in a race, and whichever camel crosses the finish line LAST will win the fortune for its owner. During the race, the two brothers wander aimlessly for days, neither willing to cross the finish line. In desperation, they ask a wise man for advice. He tells them something; then the brothers leap onto the camels and charge toward the finish line. What did the wise man say?
The camel's owner wins. They're on each other's camels now.
“Did the Sheik put in writing?”
CWE’s more than likely right.
They both cross at the same time.
To speed things along, I took the liberty and looked it up and @CWE is right.
His turn.
Do camels charge? Can they run? I don't think I've ever seen one run.
A sundial has the fewest moving parts of any timepiece. What has the most?
Time itself?
No.
Space?
If that’s wrong, I’ll let someone else guess.
No
Ach kicking myself after looking it up. I’ll let someone else get it.
An hourglass
Yup.
Well done Randolph, your shot!
A man with a fine reputation and no ill will towards anyone was entering an airplane. As he answered he happened to find his long-lost friend and greeted him from a distance. He was promptly arrested, why?
Thanks. My internet was down so I didn’t get to follow up he was correct.
His friends name is Jack and he said hijack.
Hahahahahahhahahahahahahaha

I like that one.
Clever!
This one was a classic when I was a kid.
A man and his son had a terrible car accident and were rushed to the hospital. The man died on the way, but the son was still barely alive. When they arrived, an old gray surgeon was called in to operate. Upon seeing the young boy, the surgeon said, “I can’t operate – this is my son.”
The surgeon is his mom
Yeah, definitely one that worked better in an older time.
Women doctors. A myth (sarcasm)
A man and his dog are separated by a river. The man whistles and the dog crosses the river without using a boat or a bridge. The dog doesn't get wet. How?
Cos it’s frozen.
Si.
Janine and Zoe both ordered Long Island iced teas. Zoe being a hardcore drinker pounded five of these and Janine being a lightweight only had one. The bartender being the underpaid misogynistic bastard that he is decided to poison their drinks when he asked for their phone numbers before pouring their drinks and they turned him down. Zoe lived but Janine didn’t. Why?
He poisoned their ice cubes. The fast Drinker didn't let his ice cubes melt and the slow drinker drank the poison because the ice cubes had melted.
Aye.
Depending on where you live, words can be spelled differently like colour and color, but still have the same meaning. Other words are homonyms, like fly or sign. Some are hard to spell like onamonapia. Despite all this there is always one word that is always spelled wrong. What is it?
”Wrong” is always spelled “wrong”.
Next up:
“You can always find me in the water, living in the sea. But I spend no time in boats. I only appear in your yesterdays, not your todays. I’ll appear once a year and I’ll be there at the end of time.”
What am I?

Winner, winner chicken dinner.
Too bad I can't come up with one...pass.
Surely his paws would get wet
There is a seven letter word in the English language that contains eight words without rearranging any of its letters. The words contained therein must be of at least two letters in length. What is this word and the eight words found within it?
If you ask this question to kids now you will also get the answer of the boy has 2 dads and they either talk about divorce and remarry or they talk about the men being married.
Randolf: Ra, Ran, An, And, Ando, Do, Dol, Dolf
How dare you!
If people need a hint for this the answer is in the question.
"Therein".
1. There
2. The
3. Ere
4. He
5. Her
6. Rein
7. Herein
8. In
8.5. Here
"Ere" is kind of an archaic word, so obviously "Here".

Yep
Nice.
Besides the obvious; Race, eye color, hair color, and general appearance - What else is hereditary 100% of the time? No exceptions?
Note: Its not disease, propensity to gain weight, or political affiliation. You also pass it down to your children 100% of the time.
Surname?
Nope. Not always.
That’s a good guess. But think about it, if two people are married, and the woman doesn’t take her husband’s last name, she could decide that her child won’t either.
Yeah I figured that after but didn’t want to edit.
Nobody’s been able to get it. So I’ll spoiler pop the answer and somebody else can post a new one.
I’ll admit, it’s a stretch. It takes a little lateral thinking, but it’s 100% true.

I'm unable to have children because I'm a male.
A man left home one morning. He turned right and ran straight ahead. Then he turned left. After awhile, he turned left again, running faster than ever. Then he turned left once more and decided to go home. In the distance he could see two masked men waiting for him. Who were they?
The Umpire and Catcher
I liked that one.
I did too. I will have a whole bunch if I can find my old Mindtrap game. You are correct by the way.
I think it's your turn Pablo.
I don't have anything good though.
That was my favorite game.
A magician was doing stunts outside on a busy street corner, made of nothing but concrete. He is standing with a raw egg in his outstretched hand. Without the aid of any objects or tools, he is able to drop the egg two meters without breaking its shell. How is he able to do this?
Is it a chocolate egg?
Nope, just an egg egg.
Hmm, only other thing I can think of, and it's a stretch, but if he dropped it from like, 2.1 meters, then it would fall 2 meters without breaking, but break at the .1 meters.
That's correct! It would fall two meters before finally falling to the ground breaking. 2.1 meters or more, it doesn't matter.
Drops it into a car?
The "outstretched hand" seems like clue…
An undercover police officer needs to infiltrate an illegal gambling club, but does not know the password required for the entrance to the building. The day before he plants a microphone in the door knob and listens to the recorded conversation. He listens that a man strolls up and knocks on the door. The doorman says, "twelve" and the man replies, "six" and he is let in. A second man arrives and the doorman says "six" and the man replies, "three" and is let in. The police officer now is confident that he knows the password for the entry. So, he walks up to the door. The doorman says "ten" so he replies, "five". A gun appears through a slot in the door and the police officer is asked to leave. Why? What should he have said?
He is asked to leave because he had the wrong password. He should have said "Candy gram"
Or he should have said "three" because the code is to give the number of the guy who came in before him. Whatever the doorman says doesn't matter, each guy states his own number, and records who came in last.
3
Just beat me to it
Yes 3 is correct.
Your turn, Rip, your explanation works better than mine
@Rip
I both like and fucking hate a load of these.
Three people (Andy, Belle, Colin) are held at gunpoint by Rip The Knee Surgeon. They are buried in the ground right up to their necks, heads sticking out, in a row all facing north, in one line. They are blindfolded. Three hats get put on them - two black, one white. They do not know what colour hat they are wearing, but they are told that there are two of one colour and one of the other colour.
(facing forward in a line this way)
---------------------->
Andy - Belle - Colin - - - - Rip the Knee Surgeon
Rip The Knee Surgeon takes off their blindfolds, stands in front of them, and says "if one if you can tell me what colour hat you are wearing, I will let you all go free. If you are wrong, I will tell you stories of my rugby days for eight straight days then kill you all horribly."
After a short time, one person says the colour of their hat confidently, and they are released.
Who says it, and why?
PS THERE IS NO AARON JUST ANDY

Aaron, cause he's last in line and can see the two people in front of him?
