Fishy Wager
Science brain teasers require understanding of the physical or biological world and the laws that govern it.
One day, John and Sue were out fishing in the Atlantic Ocean. When a shark swam by, Sue said, "I'll bet you ten dollars that the shark over there doesn't have a bone in its skeletal structure." John thought he would win this one, but he didn't.
How can this be?
Answer
With sharks being in class Chondrichthyes, the group of fish containing skeletons of cartilage, sharks do not have a skeletal structure of bones.

| well yeah i did because a shark can have a bone in its body. not its own bone, but sharks do eat fish with bones as a skeletal structure |

| im not trying to get involved, i just arrived at that teaser at the right time.
anyways you shouldnt put down others unless you have back-up information. TROT did write a decent trick teaser, and yet you insulted him and his capability. this is unfair because you have no teasers to bite back with. and please dont insult my teasers because they are easy for you to solve. |

| Sorry to rain on your parade, but sharks do have bones. Ever notice the jaws of sharks hanging on the walls of seafood joints and fishermens shacks? They are made of bone. Sorry but John would have won. |
