What is between 2 ears, has no mass and occupies no space but requires intelligence?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Is this a trick question?

I never was good at this sort of things. Here's what I think the answer is:

' What is between 2 ears, has no mass and occupies no space but requires intelligence? '

The question doesn't really have mass or space if it is in cyberspace, does it? But it DOES require intelligence, which I quite obviously don't have.
 
The space in my head where my brain should be. it is empty it has no mass and it REQUIRES intelligence (i even has a vacancy sign on my head for intelligence) because I am sucking at my exams.

right answer?

[?]
 
The space between small boxes in the upper corner of the page in a newspaper or periodical that contains a printed notice, such as promotional material or weather information
 
thought, reasoning, understanding, etc... these have no mass and would be performed between 2 ears, but without the "mass" that makes them possible, they can't happen, so I don't know.
 
OOH OOH I KNOW! invisible massless aliens which are hologramatic so take up no space...wait for it, IN A CORNFIELD...they have ears of corn either side of them! oh yes, what a PRO!
 
consciousness?
 
Let me think about this!

Evo beat me to it, sounds like a thought.
 
thoughts, ideas,etc.

Wouldn't that normally be between a mouth and an ear? Of course, some of us do have "conversations" going on between our ears.

Please everyone if you will just start wrting out your declaration of faith loyalty and willingness to remain subserviant and suplicational to me for the rest of my, and 'myn Herrs', lives, THEN we can return to this silly debate you have about my ownership of everything, and how you think you will still have the rigths to breath my air...

OK? Are you OK now? Evo! Give your sweet sonny boy a BIG hug and a piece of Belgian chocolate for me! I went and hurt his feelings! :frown: I'm going to go collect me some whippings and put on a hair shirt for a while... :frown:

someone who was an evil and sadistic task-master who had way too much time on his hands as to develop cruel instruments and methods of torture. Maybe it was an ancestor of Mr. Robin Parsons, the cruel and oppressive Overlord of the Solar System, scourge of the stars, master of the meteors, commander of crappy cliches!

That is simply a reflection of my tenants, not myself, they are the ones who turn it into a slum, NOT the owners, they just don't bother repairing them...but that too will change, Oh ya, Landlord implies householder, you seem to have missed that I am the proprietor of ALL MATERIAL MATTER, liquids, Solids and Gases!
