Question: Why are manholes round instead of square?

Answer: If they are round the manhole covers cannot slip into the hole if the hole is slightly smaller than the cover, but if they are square the hole would have to be about 50 percent of the area of the cover to stop the cover from falling into the hole (diagonally).

Question: A mother is 21 years older than her child. In 6 years the mother will be 5 times older than her baby.

Where is the father?

Answer: He is with the mother.

If you do the math: (baby's age) + 21 + 6 = 5 * (baby's age + 6)
(baby's age) + 27 = 30 + 5 * (baby's age)
-3 = 4 * (baby's age)
-3/4 = baby's age
The baby will be born in 9 months.
