Ears an easy one for you!

Here is this week's question:

There are six ears of corn in a hollow stump. If a perfectly healthy squirrel carries only three ears out each day, how many days will it take to empty the stump?

ANSWER:

Six. Each day the squirrel will carry out the two ears on his head plus one ear of corn.

Are your ears burning on that one? Don't tell me you haven't heard it before!
