06 Jan, 2016: Day 27

Question 1:
There are approximately 1 million ants for every how many people on the planet? Answer: 1.


One person per every 1 million ants. Yes, you got it right. Assuming were not the only ones who asked how many ants per person, the answers were fairly across-the-board. It's somewhere between 1.6 million and 1.4 million per person. If you're looking for 1 million ants it would be 0.625 and 0.714 of a person, respectively.

Spent some time trying to research this out, looking for different result and I didn't find any. So, I start plugging in numbers. Looking at the hint (Yes, I looked at the hint. As with another puzzle, mathematics is not my strong suit) I knew that I had 99 different combinations. The first one, being "1" worked.

What Google probably did was to round up to the nearest individual human unit. Knowing that we will be looking for either 1.6 million or 1.4 million they likely figured this was best. It's a trick question.


Question 2:
What player's status for the 2012 Super Bowl was questionable in January after he missed practice for the second day in a row due to an ankle injury? Answer: Rob Gronkowski.


Using 2012 Super Bowl ankle injury as the seed for the search, the search results will pull up information on the New England Patriots's tight end. Apparently he is a glutton for injury. His ankle was not the only infliction.

Question 3:
What is the name of the twin of the wife of the Super Bowl XXXVI MVP? Answer: Patricia.


This is a two-part question. First, we need to find the Super Bowl XXXVI's most valuable player (Super Bowl 36 mvp), who is cornerback Tom Brady of the New England Patriots, Rob Gronkowski's teammate. Next, we have to find his wife and her twin sister. Looking at Tom Brady's Wikipedia entry we see that his wife is the supermodel Gisele Bündchen. Her younger twin sister is named Patrícia(Gisele Bündchen twin sister), but Google will insist that her name is Patricia.
