ANSWERS:
1. 9 turkeys left of course! “All but nine!”
2. The word “WRONG” is spelled the same in every dictionary.
3. rib, jaw, gum, hip, arm, lip, leg, eye, ear, and toe.
4. What side of the chicken has more feathers? “The outside!”
5. Once. After that, 6 is subtracted from 24... (gotcha!)
6. 4 sheets. 111, 112 is only one sheet.
7. Mr. Pham’s birthday is December 25, and he was talking on January 1, 2024. He’s 54 now. Last week (December 24, 2023), he was 53. His next birthday, (December 25, 2024) he will be 55, and the "next year" (December 25, 2025) he will turn 56. It's only "a year" but contains 3 birthdays. 53 + 3 = 56. 😫

ANSWER1: farmer Israel has 9 turkeys left because the phrase all but nine means all except 9
ANSWER2: The word wrong is spelled wrong in every dictionary
ANSWER3: Eye, ear, jaw, arm, toe, rib, lip, leg, hip, gum
ANSWER4: The outside of the turkey has more feathers
ANSWER5: Once because the next time you subtract 6 will be from 24 not 30
ANSWER6: 4 pages because pages 111 and 112 fall on the same page
ANSWER7: For example mr. Pham is born on Dec 31. Mr. Pham is 53 on Dec 30, 2020 and turns 54 on Dec 31, 2020. On January 1st 2021 he tells his class he will turn 56 next year which is 2022. On Dec 31st, 2021 he turns 55 and then it´s the next year 2022 and he turns 56 on Dec 31st 2022 just like he said.

3. The outside of the turkey has more feathers.

5. You can subtract 6 from 30 one time because after that it’s no longer 30.
6. There are four sheets that Salvador and Aaron took out.

Answer 1: Farmer Israel has 9 turkeys left because the phrase all but nine means all except nine

Answer 2: The word wrong is spelled wrong in every dictionary

Answer 3: Eye ear jaw arm toe rib lip leg hip gum

Answer 4: The outside of the turkey has more feathers

Answer 5: You can only subtract 6 from 30 once because the next time you subtract 6 won´t be from 30 but from 24

Answer 6: Aaron and Salvadoor rip out 4 pages because page 111 and 112 fall on the same page

Answer 7: Mr pham birthday is on Dec 31. mr pham tells his students that he was 53 lat week and will turn 56 next year and he makes this statement on Tuesday January 1, 2021. His 54 birthday was on Monday December 31, 2020 but that does´nt count because he told his students he was 53 LAST WEEK and he is right because it was before December 31 2020 (his 54 birthday). So on December 31 2020 he turned 54 and on December 31 2021 he turned 55 and then on December 31 2022 he turns 56 like he said.

7: he’s turning 56 next year and not 54 is because he was 53 last week 3 years ago!
