My first is in biscuit but never in cake
My second's in awesome but not in great
My third is in mother but not seen in dad
My fourth is in sunny but never in sad
My fifth is a vowel found in water not creek
My sixth is found only in one day of the week
My seventh's two of three that you learn when you're young
My eighth's not in song but it's there when it's sung
My ninth's in eleven and twelve, not thirteen
My tenth is in island and river, not stream
My eleventh's in precious and secret and paste
My twelfth is in phantom and spectre and haste
My whole stalks the night in a quiet dreamlike state
With no memories the next day of being out late

36 is on the nail.

When manufacturing bars of soap, the cutting machine produces scraps. The scraps from 11 bars of soap can be made into one extra bar. What is the total number of bars that can be made after cutting 250 bars of soap?

Easy math one:

A team of 9 players had just won and they began shaking hands. Each player only shook hands with every other player just once. How many times did the players shake hands in total?

Hmm I remember acting this one out at primary school.

Both kids row across
one kid rows back
Mum rows across
other kid rows back
both kids row across
one kid comes back
Dad rows across
other kid comes back
both kids row across.
