Number 3 is a trick question, any good shiner knows you shouldn't use a radiator in place of a copper worm because of the lead content.

1/4 inch.

Which of the following cars will rust out the quickest when placed on blocks in your front yard? A. 66 Ford Fairlane: B. 69 Chevrolet Chevelle: C. 64 Pontiac GTO

A. 66 Ford Fairlane. . . . . it just does don't ask me why.

If your uncle builds a still that operates at a capacity of 20 gallons of shine per hour, how many car radiators are necessary to condense the product?

1 from a 66 fairlane or 2 from a chevelle. Howsomever instead of wasiting a good radiator you can get copper tube from an old fridge fer free.

A pulpwood cutter has a chain saw that operates at 2700 rpm. The density of the pine trees in a plot to be harvested is 470 per acre. The plot is 2.3 acres in size. The average tree diameter is 14 inches. How many Budweiser Tallboys will it take to cut the trees?

7.35 cases. . . . . . giver er take.

If every old refrigerator in the state vented a charge of R-12 simultaneously, what would be the decrease in the ozone layer?

What kinda question is this? We have turned all the old fridges into smokers (And used the copper tubin fer shine stills)

A front porch is constructed of 2x8 pine on 24-inch centers with a field rock foundation. The span is 8 feet and the porch length is 16 feet. The porch floor is 1 inch rough-sawn pine. When the porch collapses, how many hound dogs will be killed?

7 assuming it isn't coon huntin' weather.

A man owns a house south of Beckley and 3.7 acres of land in a hollow with an average slope of 15%. The man has 5 children. Can each of the children place a mobile home on the man’s land?

Yep and have room for a chicken pen and two hog pens.

A 2-ton coal truck is overloaded and proceeding 900 yards down a steep grade on a secondary road at 45 mph. The brakes fail. Given the average traffic loading of secondary roads, what are the chances that it will strike a vehicle that has a muffler?

<0.00001%

A coal mine operates an NGPA Class 1, Division 2 hazardous Area. The Mine employs 120 miners per shift. A gas warning is issued at the beginning of 3rd shift. How many cartons of unfiltered Camels will be smoked during the shift?

17

At a reduction in gene pool variability rate of 7.5% per generation, how long will it take a town that has been bypassed by the interstate to breed a country-western singer?

12 if the town isn't on a river. If it is on a river there are already four of them undiscovered. . . . Two of which are in jail.
