ANSWERS: 1 Johnny, of course. 2 He weighs meat. 3 Mount. Everest; it just hadn’t been discovered yet. 4 There is no dirt in a hole. 5 Incorrectly. 6 Billy lives in Australia. 7 You can’t take pictures with a wooden leg. You need a camera to take pictures. 8 Same as is it now - Barack Obama. 9 You would be in second place. 10 Neither. The yolk of the egg is yellow. 11 One.
