See if you can let your brain switch directions
to answer these questions:
2. How can you throw a ball as hard as you can
and have it come back to you, even if it doesn't

no one else catches or throws it?
3. Two students are sitting on opposite sides of
the same desk. There is nothing in between them

4. Jake was standing on one side of the river,
and his dog Scruffy was standing on the other side.
"Come on Scruffy, come, boy!" shouted Jake. Scruffy
crossed the river, ran to Jake, and got a treat for
being a good dog. The amazing thing was that
Scruffy didn't even get wet! How did Scruffy do that?

2. Beth refused to wear green or blue socks.
