2. The best car to take camping is someone elses.

Explanation If you own a Humvee and your friend owns a Ferrari with no trunk or brakes, your friend's car is the best car to take camping.

3. The shortest path between two points A and B travels through every pub in an area (A-B)² that contains those two points.
