What are your tough questions?

8/28/2008:
I love this. Over at the Spanish Seventh-Day Adventist church on 9th and Bloomfield there’s a banner that reads “Tough Questions Welcomed.”
My first thought was, “will they be answered?”
Questions like:
- “Why is the city over $11 Million over-budget?”
- “How come there are so many potholes?”
- “Who is running for Mayor?”
- “When will an ice cream shop open uptown?”
- “When will a Cat 3 or larger hurricane hit the NYC area? How about Hanna?”
- “Where did the $1 million in quarters go?”
- “What are my chances to get lucky on Friday night?”
WHAT ARE YOUR TOUGH QUESTIONS?

You know, the couple feuding on T.G. Heins Hobotown?
Spencer got kicked in the head with a soccer ball by Heidi, who then went to Buskers with her bff Lauren Conrad and met Brodi there, who used to be friends with Spencer until the coma changed everything.

1. Who set the fire at 1213?
2. Why doesn’t the ticket person get ticketed for “No Horn Blowing” offense?
3. Why are (most) yuppies rude?
4. If someone is going 10-12 to pick up the “squeal”, what does that mean?
5. How come 500 Washington Street doesn’t have to fix the dilapidated storefront?

each side is 9 cubes, and there are 6 sides, so 6×9=54? I didn’t use Google, so i’m sure somehow i’m wrong.
Oh wait, i’m thinking about it now and there are SHARED sides, right? Each corner/side is shared by the opposing corner/side, so there should be less…oh damn now i’m drawing it out and realizing that there’s parts of a cube shared by 3 sides…this could take longer than 60 seconds to figure out.
so there should be 6 unique sides (the centers)
the corners will share 3 sides
the middles (between corners) will share 2 sides
ok my 60 seconds are up i think it would take me much longer to figure it out mathmatetically and of course 54 blocks makes no sense…
oh wait, it would be 9+9+9, so 27 i think. I dont know why i made this more complicated on me lol…now i have to go google it

RE #28 (Furey)
Tough, eh?
SiddFinch already solved the problem, and your first answer is correct = 54 (6 sides x 9 sticker squares each). The reason I gave you 54 seconds to solve it was because the answer was 54.
The 60 seconds alternate answer would take into account the 54 squares from 6 sides of 9 squares each plus the overall square face containing the 9 squares counts as a square - making it 54 + 6 = 60 squares. Answered in 60 seconds.
The best way to hide something is to put it in plain sight.

RE #24, I was just playing with you. Hobotown isn’t really about Spencer and Heidi. If you really want to get to know who they are and why the poster was to off them, watch The Soup, or The Hills (this time I’m not playing).

The Soup is on The E channel. Is The Hills on the E channel as well?

No, it’s on MTV (The Hills) do yourself a favor though, don’t get to watching that crap, I know way more about these two that I care to, and I don’t even watch that stupid show! UGH. Consider yourself lucky.
I want to know why people are famous for doing nothing (like Spencer and Heidi) I wish they’d mysteriously disappear.

1. Why are municipal employees so snotty?
2. If the police can park at yellow curbs, then are they REALLY necessary?
3. How could my bank charge me $34 dollars for an over-draft fee when the charge was $10?
4. How could Insurance companies deny ANY claim when they are in the business of RISK and accept premiums? Why do we pay for insurance then?
5. Why do Americans put up with Automated Telephone Systems?
6. Has anyone noticed that customer service doesn’t exist anymore? Since there are so few companies these days, customer service is like an old relationship between a man and a woman, someone is getting treated like crap. The reason is because there isn’t any competition so they don’t need to try. We should all support small businesses. Did you ever notice that at small companies or mom and pop shops you get treated like you do in a new relationship?
7. Was number six really a question or a statement disguised as a question?
8. Do I have to end at ten since I eclipsed 5?

‘what does the church think of ‘Artificial Intelligence’
Second
