1. To get into the mood for his main event Ray

SWISH MINCING SYNDROME
3. In Ubongia 100 centibongs make a bong and the smallest unit of currency is the centibong. The exchange rate is exactly 3 bongs to 2 Australian dollars. As a result AB:CD Ubongi bongs is equivalent to DC:BA Ozzie dollars. Find AB:CD
4. You are stuck out in the outback in totally inappropriate clothes with just a bottle of Chardonnay for company as you wait to be rescued by indigenous peoples. How can you be sure whether you’ve drunk less than or more than half of it?
(And, no, you don’t have any thing to measure the wine out into…)
5. What is interesting about the sum:16 X 68 = 6608?
