Hmm...shall I let the cat out of the bag so soon?? Lol


I made a boo boo...the word "less" should be the word "not". I changed my original post. Maybe you can now figure it out! :D
It was driving me crazy so I looked it up....I won't say since I cheated...:D:D

For those who still use the imperial weights, the joke still works, but a "Tonne" in the Metric system has the weight of 1,000 kilograms or 1 Megagrams. In other words the joke works in the USA but it is now not universally applicable.

A ton in the USA is a short imperial ton when imperial measurements were defined in British measurement system.

It was confusing as to what was meant by the use of the word "ton" and so the metric word used for a mass of 1,000 kilograms is the word "Tonne" to distinguish it from the USA measurement schemes.

I looked it up, here's what I found . . .

I am heavy forward, but backwards I'm not. What am I?

You win @Jay Ross ! Sorry about the metric system confusion...should have considered my friends in Australia and the U.K.! Yes..."Ton" is the answer :)

Did you know that your age by the end of this year plus your birth year equals 2020?
Try it!
I am 61 and was born 1959
61 + 1959= 2020

Also, did you know that if added the digits of your birth year (until you couldn't any more), it will equal the remainder of your birth year divided by 9 (unless it is 9; then the remainder = 0).

1959: 1 + 9 + 5 + 9 = 24
24: 2 + 4 = 6

1959 ÷ 9 = 217, Remainder 6
