Is it some sort of wind related weather phenomenon?

 

[Ginger_Ale]

Not really, but it does have to do with weather.

 

[Perfection]

Is it a Leaf?

 

[Ginger_Ale]

Close enough - a tree. It 'dies' in the winter (half the year, give or take your location).

What Am I?

Spoiler :

"Aunt"

What did you think I was going to say?

 

[Perfection]

I thought you were making an allusion to "Mad About You" actress, Helen Hunt.

In the following series, which can be evenly divided by two?

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

Anyone?

 

[CivFan91]

Can't all the even numbers be divided by two?

 

[WildWeazel]

8 can be evenly divided by 2 and 4

 

[Turner]

*Sigh* Y'all are over-thinking this one too.....

 

[Pentium]

Turner, is it 4 and 8?

They give even numbers when divided by 2.

 

[Souron]

All the numbers can be devided by 2. Odd and Even, they can still be devided by 2.

 

[Pentium]

But not "evenly" divided (not sure what it means, tho)

 

[WildWeazel]

I thought I had it... 8 can be evenly divided by two of the the numbers- 2 and 4.

 

[Turner]

All the numbers can be devided by 2. Odd and Even, they can still be devided by 2.

That is correct.

 

[WildWeazel]

But... how? Doesn't "evenly divided" mean the result is a whole number?

 

[Turner]

Even = both sides the same in this instance, not an 'even' number.

 

[CivFan91]

Aaaugh!!!!

 

[Trogg]

I hope this one hasn't been done yet. Here goes...
You must measure eexactly 9 minutes and you have 2 hourglasses to use, one measures four minutes and the other measures 7 minutes. how do you measure 9 minutes with a 4 minute glass and a 7 mintue glass?? enjoy

 

[seasmath]

Fill the 7 minute one up, and then fill the 4 minute one halfway.

Right?
