Yes, quite a bit.

Pluto has not cleared its orbit of debris. A planet has to conform to 3 rules. 1/ It has to be a non-luminous body orbiting a central star or star system. 2/ It must have sufficient mass to form itself into a sphere. 3/ It must have cleared its orbit of major debris. If Pluto had a clear...

Sally does 1/4 of the work in 1 hour, and John does 1/6 in an hour. In x hours, Sally does x/4 of the work, and John does x/6 of the work. x/4 + x/6 = 1 house in x hours 3x/12 + 2x/12 = 12/12 5x = 12 x = 12/5 = 2 2/5 hours 1/5th of an hour is 60/5 = 12 minutes, so 2/5ths is 24 minutes. The...

It's the high-tech form of phone sex. Rather than talking, you chat through instant messengers in an attempt to get off. Lots of people do it.

See, this is what happens when there is such a stigma on sexuality of all sorts. People get worried that they don't conform, or that there is something odd about them. Are you ever intending on going to bed with a man, or doing anything sexual with one? If not, then you're straight. If you're...

6, 9 and 18. If you have a remainder of 4, the number has to be greater than 4. Also, if 4 remains, the number must divide evenly in the number-4, and 22-4 = 18. Therefore, the numbers have to be factors of 18, greater than 4. The only numbers that satisfy this are 6, 9 and 18.
