the ones i know:
2. crash
5. pink or pinkish-orange

i think the following two are right:
1. chorus
4. 2

don't know about 3.

here's one back:
what english word has four distinct plural forms, though two are seldom if ever used?

A crash and pink are both correct. Incorrect on the others though. 😛

troop of kangaroos.
colony of frogs.

I think ducks have three eyelids on each eye.

1. how many times faster does sound travel underwater? bonus: does sound travel faster in cold or warm water?

2. What is precipitation that evaporates before it hits a surface called?

3. What U. S. female gymnast competed in the 2003 World championship prelims, but could compete in the finals do to an injury? bonus: what was the injury?

Three eyelids is correct, but still no correct answers for a collection of Frogs or Kangaroos.

Well kangaroos are Australian, so I reckon it's some wierd Oz term, like a Woowonger of Kangaroos, or a Chuzzwozzer of Kangaroos.

No. Much simpler than that. I'll post the answers on Monday if no-one gets them. 😛

herd of kangaroo?
army of frogs?

Army of Frogs is correct. Just the Kangaroos to go: (Clue - it's a three letter word)😛

hop?

1. not sure of this, but think it's twice, and faster in cold than warm.
i know it's like seven times faster in glass.

2. virga

for 3, did you mean "could not compete in the finals due to an injury"?
in any event, i never followed the olympics so don't know the answer.

#2 is correct.

#3 was a misprint (it was supposed to be 'could not compete'😉 thanks fror bringing to my attention. It wasn't the Olympics. It was the 2003 female Gymnastic World Championships.

#1 Bonus was wrong. Since it's not cold water, it must be warm.
