Some puzzles

[fuzz]

There are three boxes containing 2 balls each. In one there are two white balls, in another two black balls, and in the third one ball is black, the other is white. Boxes have been labeled to indicate their contents. However, whoever did the job got all labels wrong. The task is to straighten things out. You may select only 1 box and blindly pick up a ball out of it. How can you be sure to label them correctly?


Though only five letters,
From my start to my end,
I can have the meaning,
Of "Gone out with a friend."

Add two letters of negation
If you follow this rhyme
And my meaning is now
"Not classified according to time."

Add two more letters in front,
Again that mean "Not"
Now my meaning is "flooded."
So the answer is what?

Can you give an English word with the same letter three times in a row? No hyphens are allowed, so bee-eater wouldn't do.

The sentence "The unclear creator is the course of chum peach greeny," can be anagrammed to "The nuclear reactor is the source of much cheap energy" anagramming each word of four or more letters of the original sentence.

Can you do the same with these 4 sentences (the anagrammed sentences must still be grammatically correct and make sense, as the example above)?

1. Do spoilt eden plaices silences to fly percussion panels?

2. Few enumerations veer adverb the eighths speak in the meteor anger.

3. Myna taste allegorists praise to be treasons in the optical.

4. The pertain dues his shrub to drapes stokers in clarets and magnate silo.

You guys are good

I hadn't done the anagrams myself, but I've got the third, which is good for me as I'm crap at anagrams

There is a pole in a lake. One-half of the pole is in the ground, another one-third of it is covered by water, and 12 ft is out of the water. What is the total length of the pole in ft?

A cylinder 108 cm high has a circumference of 24 cm. A string makes exactly 6 complete turns round the cylinder while its two ends touch the cylinder's top and bottom. How long is the string in cm?

If you were to construct a 7 x 7 checkered square (i.e., a 7 x 7 chess board), how many squares would there be in total?

The answer to the first one is 32. -4 and +4 are the two numbers.

The pole is 36 ft long.

Can't be bothered with the rest.

is the string 180cm long?

i.e.

√((24x6)^2) + (108^2) = 180
√(20736 + 11664) = 180
√32400 = 180

[John C]

140 squares on a 7x7?

[John C]

168 on a 7x8?
