No, mate. At that time my eyes are still firmly closed! My heart doesn't even start beating until my second cup.

You should see the neat 'burrow' that mantis shrimp create for themselves out of broken coral... They sit inside with just their heads sticking out, and duck back in when they see something dangerous!

Anyway... An easy one...

What was the capital of Japan before Tokyo?

I know the capital was at Kyoto for a good long time, but I don't remember if it was somewhere else between being at Kyoto and Tokyo.

Wasn't it Edo?

Yes!! Natasha_fawn has the correct answer. The early capital was indeed right here in Kyoto. The ancient Imperial Palace makes for an interesting exploration!

A question please, Natasha!

This one's a riddle:

A man is trapped in a room. There are no doors, no windows, and nothing is in the room with him except for a mirror and a table. How does he get out?

poohbear_nc · 02-22-2011, 07:36 PM

Using the mirror, he sees there's no ceiling on the room, and uses the table to climb out over the wall.

Edo was the ancient name for Tokyo.

Clever, but no. The room is entirely enclosed, walls, ceiling, floor.

*mutter, mutter* only said no doors or windows. *mutter, mutter*

OK - he uses the mirror to reflect light and burn his way out?

SneakySnake · 02-22-2011, 07:56 PM

I wondered about that. There was no mention of a light to reflect though..... hmmmm

puts the table up against the wall so it looks like a door in the mirror and opens the reflection that looks like a door and walks out?
