9. If you were running a race, and you passed the person in 2nd place, what place would you be in now?

10. Which is correct to say, "The yolk of the egg are white" or "The yolk of the egg is white"?
Answer: Neither, the yolk of the egg is yellow! [Duh]
11. If a farmer has 5 haystacks in one field and 4 haystacks in the other field, how many haystacks would he have if he combined them all in another field?
Answer: One. If he combines all of his haystacks, they all become one big one.
"The yolk of the egg are white" or "The yolk of the egg is white"?
Got me on this one. Guess the yolk is on me.
For #8, I answered "Barack Obama," which is the answer you were looking for. Subsequently I began to think more about it. In 1975 Obama was living in Honolulu with his mother and sister and attending Punahou school. His mother was still married to the Indonesian, Lolo Soetoro, whom she finally divorced in 1980. It is therefore possible that in 1975 Obama was going by the name Barry Soetoro, and was registered in school under that name. Since Obama's school records are all closed, there's no way to verify that. In any case, I submit there are two correct answers to question #8, Barry Soetoro or Barack Obama, either one being correct.
