A black car is driving towards him with its lights off, there is no moon in the sky, there is no GPS or Sat Nav. However, somehow the driver manages to stop in time.

How did the driver see the man



Guess this riddle now you must:
Stone is fire, and fire is dust,
Black is red, and red is white,
Come and view the wondrous sight.

What am I

Shari and Butterfly were playfully splashing in the pool with Ralph and Francis when Shari calls Mark to consider the expansion of the binomial (2a-b)^12.

Try stops laughing and gets off the lawnmower when Butterfly asks; in the collected term Ha^5b^7, what is the numerical value of H

Wingless flutters,
