YES first to comment again......Great teaser, I hope to see more of these
So is the second 'in' s'posed to be a clue? Thought maybe it meant "Indiana".
good try but that was really lame
actually, if he traveled at all, he was travelling east of the Mississippi
I got the answer, but at first I thought my answer was confusing then I remembered, I am in the "trick" catagory!"
Got toagree with EyeCon - if Smartee moved out of the room he was born in, he travelled. Since he was born east of the Big Muddy, He travelled East of the Big Muddy. Trick questions need tricky thinking - and careful wording.
so true, but great teaser anyway
yea, gotta pile on. If he went to school, he traveled, so he probably traveled a lot, all of it east of the Mississippi
I'm agreeing with the idea of traveling as any movement from one point to another. Now if he was a tree...
there are two ways you can look at this:
if he travels at all, he is traveling EAST of the mississippi
or if he travels east ACROSS the mississippi....
needs some work
if he travels at all, he is traveling EAST of the mississippi
or if he travels east ACROSS the mississippi....
needs some work
i thought his mom was named massachusetts lol
I agree with EyeCon & the others- if he set one foot in front of another at all, he traveled east of the Miss. technicalities!
I figured that if he ever walked he travelled east of the Misssissippi, so I figured he was OCD and always walked South west. Makes sense to me!
unklemyke, i agree totally
i didnt get that one right but then again i never get them right so it's all good
Boo, any motion he made would be considered travelling, therefore, by your own logic, he would have travelled east of the mississippi. Poorly done.
