Yeah, the answer saud because they had no distortion in the 1950s. But close enough!

 

In forests I'm leafy

In deserts I'm like sand

You'll find it hard to see me

Even if I'm in your hand.

Lol! Maybe! Well, the answer was chameleon, whic was your 3rd guess. :P

 

Though my gray beginnings are not so pretty,

I grow quite well into my beauty.

Alabaster white or black as night,

My grace is known world wide.

I may make my home in the chilly Arctic,

I'm also known well down under,

From North America to South America I may be known to trumpet.

As a female I may Pen my name,

While the males may prefer to pick at a Cob.

But near or far my beauty is known by lore and by myth.

Yeah. :) What a cute story. Also, a female swan is a Pen and a male is a Cob.

 

 

What 8 letter word has KST in the middle, in the beginning, and at the end?

Yeah. :D That was rated a hard one, so good job! If you got that, you'll probably get the next one.

 

We're 5 little items of an everyday sort,

you'll find us all in a tennis court.

What are we?

Wow, you guys are quick. :O I'll post another one, because that was quite easy.

 

Used left or right, I get to travel,

Over cobblestone or gravel.

Used up, I vie for sweet success,

Used down, I cause men great duress.

 

What am I?

Lol, you can get this one! It's a paper one. I don't think i've ever done one of these.

 

You will need a working pen and a sheet of paper for this one. Orient the paper into landscape form, and write this on the paper:

 

620 = 3000

 

Your challenge: Add only two lines to make the equation valid.

 

You cannot:

Cross the equation sign to obtain a "not-equal" sign.

Fold the paper in any way.

Draw any curves.

Place any decimal points.

Place any middle dots (for multiplication).

Use "000" as a distinct number.

I was thinking of putting down to lines making an x

260 = 3000x

or 260x = 3000...

But that's not it, is it? Because why put it in landscape form then...?
