Q: Where is the greatest concentration of toast? (Mr D Delandins, Norfolk)
A: The world's greatest concentration of toast is in the small Mendips village of Clutchage where villagers between them toast and butter 5,300 slices of bread each day. The toast is added to a pile which towers above the village. Every 5 January, the toast mountain is ignited and locals celebrate by tossing their front doors on the pyre.
Q: What is the fastest speed man has ever attained? (Mrs E Venchance, Cumbria)
A: Recent investigations reveal that the fastest man has ever been is only 48mph, this achieved by Hubert Onorsis in Utah in 1949 on a rocket powered kart. Higher speeds apparently reached daily in air transport and on motorways are part of a giant government conspiracy to hide the fact that the space-time continuum starts to disintegrate above 49mph.
Q: With their extra wheel, are tricycles slower or faster than bicycles? (Ms F Incheek, Ontario)
A: The extra grip and propulsion that a third wheel gives you is normally outweighed by the additional drag. However, it is altitude dependant, which is why you often see cyclists on the Tour de France discarding their bicycles in favour of tricycles when they go above 8000ft.
