ANSWERS:

1. The word “incorrectly.”

polar bear.

5. Three. Well, it seems that it could almost be either, but if you follow the mathematical orders
of operation, division is performed before addition. So… half of two is one.
Then add two, and the answer is three.

6. Sloppy is a (gold)fish. The wind blew the shutters in, which knocked his goldfish-bowl off

The question said nothing about that bucket having anything in it.
Therefore, there is no water(or ice) to slow the ball down…
