How can you make the following equation true by drawing only one straight line:
5+5+5=550
And no, drawing a diagonal line through the equals sign is unacceptable.
Make a diagonal line joining the left and top of the second plus sign:
5+5 +5=550 to 5+545=550

BY THE WAY...
I just saved us from 2 points, cause if I hadn't gotten #13, then LK might have swept em for a bonus 2 pts.

I KNOW IT!
ADD ONE LINE FROM THE FIRST PLUS UP TO MAKE THE PLUS SIGN A 4!
THAT MAKES 545 + 5 = 550
correct... Nate must have eaten his Wheaties this morning.

FOUR is HALF of FIVE.
Is this statement True or False? Explain.
True. The Roman number IV is half of the word FIVE. (F) IV (E)
Correct

Same hour and minute, but they beat you by seconds, hence their post being first.
Though the board does not display seconds, it does count them and use them to order posts.

Riddle #15
I soar without wings, I see without eyes.
I've traveled the universe to and fro.
I've conquered the world, yet I've never been anywhere but home.
What am I?
Riddle #16
A woman shoots her husband.
Then she holds him under water for over 5 minutes.
Finally, she hangs him.
But 5 minutes later they both go out together and enjoy a wonderful dinner together.
How can this be?
Riddle #17
I am the ruler of shovels
I have a double
I am as thin as a knife
I have a wife
What am I?
--------------------------------
A team sweep of these is good for a collective Super Riddle.... i.e. (3 x 3 or 9 pts)

The husband and wife are actors in a move
