Even my calendar is messing with me

So for Christmas I got a Mensa daily puzzle calendar for my desk. Mostly its little teasers that take a few minutes to puzzle out.

Today, in my overly sleepy state, I look at the puzzle and figure it out in 30 seconds flat. Feeling cocky I check the answer.

How many cubic feet of dirt in a hole three feet long by three feet wide by nine feet deep?

Easy stuff, convert to yards gives us a space that is 1x1x3 so 3 cubic yards. With supreme confidence I flip the page only to learn…

Answer: None. Its a hole!

Nothing worse than a smart ass calendar.
