Number 7 ain’t so crazy- in 1983 three blue Jays were picked off of first by Tippy Martinez in the 10th inning of a game against Baltimore. They were rather eager to steal because Baltimore had pulled both their catchers and had a reserve infielder behind the plate (not to mention outfielders playing 2nd and 3rd) . Then the guy filling in at catcher hit a home run in the bottom of the 10th to win it. Ouch.

Okay, for #2, there are not zero apples. The answer is 7. Half of seven plus half is 4, leaving 3. Half of three plus half is 2, leaving 1. Half of 1 plus half is 1, leaving none.

#3: Correct, 7 billion years old.
#4: Correct, $31.63
#5: Correct (Chris): it will rotate twice.
#6: Correct, 6 cuts. (the cube in the center is proof).

Now, for my favourite, number seven, Casey at the Bat.

The answer is ZERO, that’s right, NONE.
In the first inning, Casey comes to bat. He walks, and the next two batters walk. The next three batters strike out.
In the second inning, the first three men walk, bringing Casey to the plate. The pitcher proceeds to pickoff all three baserunners, meaning, Casey leads off in the next inning (the third).
This process is continued until the end of the game.

There is no joy in Mudville!

2) Am I missing a beat but doesn’t that just mean that he took no apples?

3) The Crimson City is 7 billion years old.

4) The amount of the check was $31.63.

5) It will rotate once.

6) six cuts

7) 8 runs?

Hey, it’s noon already and Tien and Lynh haven’t yet answered every question. Is this bizarro-world?
