Greg Brown- was first to answer correctly Did you know that during periods of weightlessness, astronauts lose bone mass?  To prevent any serious loss, people in space must exercise. Stressing and stretching body parts help keep bone material from being reabsorbed into the body. For a moment, let's imagine our weightless astronaut returning to Earth.  She steps onto a scale and weighs herself.  When the lab assistant asks her for her weight she offers an obscure answer.  "According to this scale, I weigh 60 pounds plus half my weight." Can you figure out how much this puzzling space traveler weighs?
Answer:120 lbs

Geoffrey Forbes- was first to answer correctly Like submarines, bats have a sonar system called echolocation.  They use their echolocation to find objects.  The clicking sounds made by bats move outward like the beam of a lighthouse.  When the sounds strike an object, they are reflected back to the bat's large ears.  With incredible speed, the bat's brain analyzes the echo return time and uses it to accurately locate the target's position.  Now, let's put that echolocation to work.  Over a five-night period, a bat targets and captures a total of a hundred beetles.  During each night the bat captured six more beetles than on the previous night.  How many beetles did the bat catch on each night?
Answer: The number of beetles captured on each successive night were 8, 14, 20, 26, and 32.
