Their daughter.

This dates back to Sherlock Holmes. It's a white bear, inasmuch as the

Mount Everest is the answer most people want to shoot for, but the truth is

He's a priest, I'd wager.

Only once. Once you subtract it, it's gone. However, you can take a new

Fun thread, Erica. I enjoy reading the answers, and I suspect most
of them are accurate. Here's one for you...
At precisely 12 noon, car A leaves Chicago bound for Atlanta and
traveling at 50 mph. Two hours later, car B leaves Atlanta bound
for Chicago and traveling at 70 mph. Car A and Car B are
travelling the same highway, parallel to each other, and the
distance between Chicago and Atlanta is 716 miles. When the
two cars pass each other, which car will be further from Atlanta?

Willow, you're just too clever! I gave this problem to about
50 college students. About 6 of them were able to see through
the question (when they meet, both cars will be at the same
distance). Some began playing with the numbers until they
realized the logic behind the question and that they didn't
need to do any calculations to figure it out. Most students
tried approach after approach to figure it out and then gave up.
