A young man thought it might be nice to join the army, so he went to the local library to find a book on volunteers. While walking along the rows of books, he sees one with VOLIX written on its spine. How should the title of this book be pronounced?

A worm is at the bottom of a forty metre hole. It can crawl upwards at the rate of four metres in one day, but at night, it slips back three metres. At this rate, how long will it take the worm to crawl out of the hole?

When asked how old she was, Suzie replied, "In two years I will be twice as old as I was five years ago."
