Got an answer?

"We learn more by looking for the answer to a question and not finding it than we do from learning the answer itself." - Lloyd Alexander (American author)


These are some of the interesting unanswered questions - from daily life and experience. Have you got a clue?

  • Why is it so much easier to drink a whole pint of beer or orange squash, say, in one go than it is to down a pint of water?
  • Why are pears pear-shaped and not spherical like apples?
  • What causes cells to stick together in the human body rather than simply falling apart?
  • In a worst-case scenario, if one had to eat parts of oneself, which non-organs would be the most nutritious? Nails? Hair? Earwax?
  • Do elephants sneeze?
  • Do fish get thirsty?
  • How many human faces will I, an average person, see in my lifetime?
  • Why do humans feel compelled to dance to music and are we the only species that does so?
  • How do toothpaste makers get the stripes in toothpaste? And why do they persist until the tube is used up?
