1) A certain creature is removed from one continent and moved to the one found on the opposite side of the world. Once there, however, it finds itself back in the one from where it has just been taken. What exactly is this creature, apart from confused?

2) Every time a man strolls past the town hall clock, he sees the same three labourers sweeping around it, however bad the weather or the lateness of the hour. It’s neither their job nor a punishment, and they’re not doing it for charity, so why are they doing it?

1. Is this an anagram of "one continent" or something ? Trying to think of an animal name in those or other words in the sentence....Am I on the right track ?

1) There is a very, very tall coconut tree and there are 4 animals, a Lion, a Chimpanzee, a Giraffe, and a Squirrel, who pass by. They decide to compete to see who is the fastest to get a banana off the tree. Who do you guess will win? Your answer will reflect your personality. So think carefully . . .. Try and answer within 30 seconds

2) A sphere has three, a circle has two, and a point has zero what?
