I would take my DVD and say, "Here is AC Milan vs ManU, 3-0 at the San Siro in 2007. One of the best game's Iv ever seen. I was in the stands, see if you can spot me whilst you watch it and see how the game is played"

Answer 21

You're in a shoe shop, second in the queue for the till. Behind the shop

assistant on the till is a pair of shoes which you have seen and which you

must have.

The shopper in front of you has seen them also and is eyeing them with

desire.

Both of you have forgotten your purses.

It would be totally rude to push in front of the first woman if you had no

money to pay for the shoes.

The shop assistant remains at the till waiting.

Your friend is trying on another pair of shoes at the back of the shop and

sees your dilemma.

She prepares to throw her purse to you.

If she does so, you can catch the purse, then walk round the other shopper

and buy the shoes.

At a pinch she could throw the purse ahead of the other shopper and, *whilst

it is in flight* you could nip around the other shopper, catch the purse and

buy the shoes.

Always remembering that until the purse has *actually been thrown* it would

be plain wrong to be forward of the other shopper

Answer 22

Two teams of eleven people with one purpose: get the ball into the opposite net as many times as possible...without using their hands. Simple yet utterly captivating.

Answer 24
