Best Bonus Question Response ("BBQR"):
An onomatopoeia is a word that imitates or suggests the source of the sound that it describes, like "oink" or "cuckoo." If you could invent a brand-new onomatopeia to describe a sound, what word would you create?

Last night, while doing my before-bed confidence building exercises, I heard a peculiar noise outside my door. Was it a ghost? A robber? An invisible man? No, it was a brand-new onomatopoeia that needed to be shared with the rest of the world. It made a sound similar to "gurk".This word can be used to describe the sound made by a squeaky swing set or squeaky door hinge. (Wing)

Best Bonus Question Response ("BBQR"):
You have a 100 pound bag of potatoes. 99% of the bag is water weight. You leave the bag in the sun for a few hours. Now you bring it in and it is only 98% water weight, due to evaporation. For an additional 1 to 5 points, tell me, what is the new total weight of the bag of potatoes?

NW: 1 lb, 1% W: 99lbs, 99%
NW: 1 lb, 2% W: x

the amount of non-water weight is fixed, so it must have remained what it was originally, 1 lb. 1 lb now equals 2% since 98% is now water weight. 1% is therefore now half a pound. Multply one half and a hundred to get the total weight and it is 50 lbs. (El Mariachi Loco)
