1108Why is a drummer the greatest person of the times?鼓手為什麼是最厲害的人？⌄
答案：Because Time beats all men, and a drummer beats time. — Because Time beats all men, and a drummer beats time. beat既是戰勝，也指敲打；時間終會勝過人，而鼓手會beat time（打拍子），原答用同一句式反轉高下。

Q01111英文雙關
1111The — to Fingal’s cave would — a stranger.兩個空格填同一個英文，但讀音重音不同：The — to Fingal’s cave would — a stranger.⌄
答案：While it can not move without a head of water, it never gets ahead of the water, and yet is always moving. — 沒有一個head of water就不能動；從未get ahead of水，卻一直在動。 head of water是水頭、水位差帶來的壓力，get ahead則是超前；兩種head含義混用，使機械運動聽來矛盾。

Q01142英文雙關
1142The troop arranged for battle Without my first would fly; And whether good or bad, Without it you would die. Go seek the earth and ocean, For smallest things you guess; Yes, bring the atom from the air, And still my second’s less. The traitor, when condemn’d to die, May calm his cares and pray; Yet when the axe sounds "dust to dust," My whole he’s borne away.前半讓軍隊不潰散，也是好人壞人活著所必需的；後半比你找到的任何微小東西還少；叛徒在斧下死去後，會以完整的我被抬走。是什麼？⌄

1164Why is a man in snow shoes like a man barefooted?為什麼穿snow shoes的人像光腳的人？⌄

Q01165英文雙關

About your form, dear little one, You’ll vainly look for me, And yet in head, and hand, and arm I’m always sure to be. I’m not in nose, or eye, or lips, Yet I’m in every feature, In boys and girls I’m never found, Yet I’m in every creature. I’m found in Merry’s Magazine — In Uncle Merry’s face; And everywhere Aunt Sue appears, I claim an honest place.我在mountain、vale、gale、dark、day、head、hand、arm、feature、creature與Aunt Sue裡，卻不在breezes、light、night、nose、eye、lips、boys或girls裡。是什麼？⌄

Q01192英文雙關
1192I knew a man, not many years gone by, Who had a block of timber in each eye, Without impairing, in the least, his sight, Or filling those who saw him with affright. And what was more amazing, free to roam, Fur-covered thousands made his head their home; Two heavy buildings also rested there, By them unnoticed, and no less his care. A curse upon his meals he often had, And saw with joy it made another glad. Strangest of all, for every house he let, A half a score of insects did beset. At length he did become a seasoned dish , To grace a throne, which suited well his wish; And all this while an arrow, mind , was in him, Which to the things he loved did firmly pin him.有個人每眼都有一塊木材卻看得見，頭上住著成千長毛的動物和兩棟建築；用餐時有詛咒，卻使別人高興；每出租一屋就招來十隻蟲；最後成為可登上王座的調味菜餚，而且一直有an arrow, mind在身裡。如何解讀這些怪事？⌄
答案：Beam, hairs (hares), temples a cur sup on his meals, tenants, eggs salted (exalted), a narrow mind. — Beam、hairs（hares）、temples、a cur sup on his meals、tenants、eggs salted（exalted）、a narrow mind。 beam也指光束，hairs與hares近音，temples既是建築也指太陽穴；a curse upon借音a cur sup on（狗來吃）；tenants拆成ten ants；eggs salted近音exalted；an arrow mind按空格重分為a narrow mind。
