He was born on a craft travelling through space at about 170% of the speed of light. 26 years passed for him but only 20 years passed on earth.
Wish he had of told us all how to do it before he died!
Where did he get the infinite energy he needed?

That's easy, he got it from Uranus.

I will let you know if you are right when I get the answers. Thanks for the reply.
Although for some reason I think you are a liar.

Only half the time. :wink:

By the way welcome to the site. Can I assume you're an Aussie?
Would you like to discuss the other questions on the link?
The last one is really easy.

I am a non-Aussie.

Just like everything else, the last question is easy, once you know the answer. (...sentettf...)

Sure, you can talk about the other questions. I have guesses for all of them but the first one so I posted it up. How 'bout this one:

Quote:

While driving alone out of Dallas to Chicago, a woman notices that many of the cars on the road in front of her are pulling over to the shoulder. She has not heard any sirens or seen any flashing lights. The weather is clear. There are no obstructions in the road. Nothing looks out of the ordinary. The people who pull over do not get out of their cars. The cars seem operable. What are they doing?

1973 and 1993 could be house numbers or room numbers in a hospital.

Presumably the cars in the second question are pulling over to get out of her way.

If she was driving on the wrong side of the road, you hope that she would think that seeing cars coming toward her was "out of the ordinary"! Smile

Perhaps she cannot see the flashing lights on her own vehicle or it is oversize?

I think I know the last three, but will wait to see your answers.

Somewhat strange choice of avatar then kangol.

That's a much better answer than mine! But at least mine involves crappy pseudoscience. Laughing

As for the cars, mabye she's at the head of a funeral procession. Mabye there was an eclipse occuring and everyone was pulling over to look (and destroy their eyesight.)
