Not sure why no ones answered no 1 yet, where is the trap?

Moving uniformly especially (not accelerating, like you imply), locally, no. Relatively, yes.

In fact, right now you're spinning around the world faster than the speed of light if you're in 9ja (I think, as we're close to the equator) let alone when compared to other bodies in different reference frames.

Like the other answers I seem to be giving recently this is not the answer you want, but it is technically correct, heh. So, where's the trap?

Dunno the others. Rockets and crows?

Na. Your speed will be determined by your pace.

No!like muskeeto said,your pace determines your speed.

Walls can't be sat on.If it were a fence ,would have said their names were peter and paul.
the trick is the nursery rhyme
"there are 2 black birds sitting on the wall,both make P square"

what has roots that no one can see, it is taller than any tree up up up it goes but it never grows.

A king in England has a jewel, a dog, and a crown. A thief comes in the middle of a night and takes the dog and yet the next day the king reports that he has two missing items. And there was only one robbery that happened. How is this possible?

You never actually say he took only the dog as well. Only one robbery does not mean robbed only one thing. Or did he rob just one item?

Robbed just one item.

Close.

Dog could be jewel.
Dog could eat jewel.

musKeeto:
Close.

Guess the dog's name is jewel
