Brain Teaser Mania: Episode One

I have a liking for brain teasers and riddles, so I thought I would build some interactivity with my readers.

Here is Brain Teaser Mania Episode One

Lets see who’s the smartest:)

  1. What is the only word in the English language that ends in mt?
  2. What do a ‘racecar’ and a ‘kayak’ have in common?
  3. A man drives from Detroit to Chicago, leaving at 8 in the morning. The next day he leaves Chicago at 8 and drives the same highway back to Detroit. If his speed varies, will there be any spot along the route that he passes at exactly the same time each day?
  4. When is this sentence true: There are eleven letters in the alphabet.
  5. A boy has a peculiar quirk; he repeats everything he hears. However, when his father said, “dinner is at six”, the boy said nothing. Why?
  6. This is the only type of cheese that is made backwards. What kind is it?

Now lets see who gets the most answers correct :)
The answers will be provided in 4-5 days ;)

Update: I did not receive a lot of interactivity in this post, but here are the answers anyway.
