Hmmm… didn’t think of that one.

Clever!

Throw away the outside and cook the inside, then eat the outside and throw away the inside. What is it?

There are two planes. One is going from New York to London at a speed of 600 MPH. The other is traveling from London to New York at a speed of 500 MPH.

When the planes meet which one will be closer to London?

When the planes meet, they will be at the same place, so they will both be the same distance to London.

EDIT: I hope the planes are represented by sprites, and we only have a sprite collision to deal with. :evil:
