Overdue brain teasers
I haven't done brain teasers in a while, so here are a few to get us back on track:________________________
1. How much mud (measured in liters) is there in a rectangular hole 2 meters wide, 3 meters long, and 3 meters deep?_______________________________
2. What two two-digit numbers are each equal to their right-most digit squared?______________________
3. Each of the following words contains the letters NOV (There may be more than one of each of those letters, but they are not shown.) ______________________
Using the definitions, fill in the words.
_____________
A dispute or argument:
_ _ N _ _ OV_ _ _ _.________
An astronomical feature:
_ _ _ _ _ NOV_.__________
New or original:
_ _ NOV_ _ _ _ _._______________
4. What special quality does this limerick possess?_____
When an expert burlesque queen named Maizy, _____
Stripping velvet, became very lazy,______________
She would quickly exhibit just one jeweled explicit,__
Gliding off from the jokesters like crazy.__________
There, that should keep you busy for a while.________
And sorry for the lines, my layout is acting weird.

1. Assuming that the hole is a whole hole and not a half or partial whole, the whole hole should be empty. Therefore no mud.
2. 25 and 36
3. Controversy, Supernova, Innovative
4. the alphabet is there three times
Carrie-
Correct. There is no mud in an empty hole.
Mike-
Correct, correct, correct, and correct.
How did you figure all of those out?
Does the army need to give you more work to keep you busy?
