African math problems

African math problems      There are 12 cows. 6 of them cross the road, 2 stand in middle and 4 go halfway and turn back. How many car wrecks are on the side of the road?      The first day 36 bugs bite you. The next day you put on 12 drops of bug dope. This time 43 bugs bite you. How much money could you have saved by not buying the bug dope in the first place?      If you have 8 maps of Botswana and Namibia, 5 of them are for the cities, 3 are for countryside and none of them are accurate. What is the probability of arriving at the same spot you left 4 hours earlier.  A) quite probable B) very probable C)extremely  probable       The average termite mound is 1 and a half meters tall.  The distance between Etosha National Park and the moon is x km. If termites were to build a termite mound to the moon, how tired would the average termite be?      You pass 7 houses. 4 have  barbed wire on their fences, 2 have electric fences and 1 has metal spikes on their fence. How many thieves have looked for alternative carriers?

  1. I need to know the standard unit for measuring termite tiredness; "tt" perhaps?
