!. The maker doesn't want it; the buyer doesn't use it; ant the user doesn' see it. What is it.
2. A child is born in Boston Massachusetts, to parents who were both born in Boston Massachusetts. The child is not a United Strates citizen. How is that possible?
I know the answer to 1 only cuz I found it online.... yikes. I'll let someone else field it.

how about:
Even if they are starving, natives living in the Arctic will never eat a penguin's ege. Why not?

Infinite times

No Natives
Clarifying...natives in the Arctic are about the farthest people there are from the nearest penguin, penguins genearally being indigenous to the South Atlantic and Antarctic coast. As such, no penguin eggs for them, barring of course the rare breed of penguin that lays it eggs with sufficient force to put them in low Earth orbit.
Ah, but what about:
25-5=20
25-5=20
25-5=20
25-5=20
25-5=20
25-5=20
25-5=20
25-5=20
25-5=20
25-5=20
25-5=20
...
Clearly, I can subtract 5 from 25 as many times as I please, just not 'iteratively'. So if you interpret it as "how many consecutive subtractions of 5 from 25 are possible?", then richjohnson (1) is right. If you interpret it literally, "how many times can one subtract 5 from 25?", then clearly the answer is bounded only by one's stamina.

Originally posted by OmnislashI saw an old lady on the news quite some time ago that did buy her own coffin: she used it as a coffee table. She didn't want her family to be footed with the bill when she died, so she took care of all the details herself.
Just as a guess, would it be a coffin?
Now, while keeping your coffin in the house may be unusual. it certainly is no longer unusual for the buyer of the coffin to use it.
And who knows the ins and outs of coffin making? If I made coffins, I might make myself a muchos impressive coffin as a job perk. Personally, I tend to the 'plant me under a tree and sod the box' viewpoint, but then, I don't make coffins for a living either.
