Nature

[teacher1]

There were 18 in 2005. What were they. ( A work colleague has asked me to try and find out ) Can any body help please.

[ontarioice]

Perhaps hurricanes as they were very active in 2005?

If this is in the UK it could be flood warnings.

[teacher1]

Hello and thanks ontarioice. That has been suggested, but I am unable to confirm it at the moment.

[gen2]

That is the Impossible Question.

Just read that there were 14 hurricanes, so that's out.
See http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/climate/research/2 005/hurricanes05.html
And Good Morning, Teacher1.

Join up to Red Dragon's VIP page and see all the answers that it isn't. Remember: After you have eliminated the impossible, whatever you are left with, however improbable, must be the answer.

[geo0939]

Ah! I take it the word impossible refers not to the question but rather the questioners. Anyway, surely by definition, the answer is more likely to be impossible than the question.

[teacher1]

Thanks gen2. I have just signed up, and a number of possibilities have just gone by the way. Pity.

[teacher1]

Gen2. Are you from the Red Dragon area ?

[gen2]

No, Im from Fife. I just found that using Google.

[teacher1]

That's a long way from Cardiff !

Was it survivors of WW1?

[teacher1]

Thank you Aquagility, but the clue was nature.

[catfish]

Is it the number of letters if you spell out 2005, ie: two thousand and five?

[teacher1]

Thanks catfish, but that has already been suggested and unfortunately is not the correct answer, even though it is true.
