Emily Davison hid in a cupboard during the night of the census so that she could put her address as the Palace of Westminster.

A few years ago, a girl from my hometown, Rockhampton, made worldwide headlines for hiding in a cupboard for five years. A serial killer had actually confessed to her murder - his trial was interrupted when the police walked in to the courtroom and announced that they had found her. He still went to jail though - had committed four other murders & only confessed to this one as part of a deal to avoid the general prison population...
 
Ok. In Switzerland all farmers must declare exactly how many animals they have. So, at the census a farmer replies that all of his animals apart from 2 are sheep. Upon reflection he then concedes that all apart from 2 are cows. Having thought about the question for a little longer he then finally states that all apart from 2 are goats. How many animals does he have ?

3 - one each of sheep, cow & goat.......
 
Must be six - two each of sheep, goats and cows!

Can't be 6 - that's wrong surely - if he has 6 animals then "all apart from 2 are sheep" - means that he would have 4 sheep.
"All apart from 2 are goats" means that he would have 4 goats. "All apart from 2 are cows" means he would have 4 cows.

Clearly impossible!

The only answer that fits is one of each.

Which I've already answered and set a new question! <ok>
 
That's very odd, when I displayed this thread before, it had your (incorrect) answer of 6, then straight underneath your acknowledgement of the answer and next question! Which is why I posted my response.

Apologies, then.

No worries Vic, I think there are a few gremlins today, I got an alert that Dan S had replied to my thread so I clicked on it, then told him he was wrong then 2 minutes later got another alert from Dan S and it took me back to the one I'd already seen! <doh>
 
Thank you sir, nice easy one now, everyone no doubt will reach for google ;)

What is the highest aggregate number of goals scored in an FA Cup final?

17 in the 1865-66 Final played at the Coke Works Stadium, Wombwell in South Yorkshire.

Brighouse Old Slubberians beat Royal Swashbucklerians 9-8 in a game restricted to just 380 minutes when the single floodlight on top of the adjacent slagheap failed in the gathering gloom. The former Cavalier regiment had been 8-5 ahead with only 93 minutes remaining until their goalkeeper was sent off for donning an unsportsmanlike woolly jumper.

Attendance was 87. Excited Slubberians fans broke the crossbar tape after the game when trying to swing on it.
