2.) 12:34=time, 5=may, 6=day in may, and 78= year. 12345678!!
4.) they are all on treadmills in a gym.

1) If I were in Hawaii and dropped a bowling ball in a bucket of water which is 45 degrees F, and dropped another ball of the same weight, mass,and size in a bucket at 30 degrees F, both of them at the same time, which ball would hit the bottom of the bucket first? Same question, but the location is in Canada?
The ball in the 45 degree water hits first because the water is above the freezing point of 32 degrees fahrenheit
The other is below that and the Ball would just hit the top and move no further down towards the bottom.
Location would mater very little.
3) A scuba diver is 1,000 feet below the surface when the oxygen in her tank runs out. The diver doesn't make it to the surface for nearly four hours, but she doesn't die when her oxygen runs out. Why didn't the diver die when her oxygen ran out and how did she reach the surface?
multiple explanations on the same theme. The theme is that she is not actually dependent on the oxygen because she is in an environment with it's own oxygen supply and her tank doesn't matter.
So she could be either in an underground facility(either submerged or not) or in a vessel such as a submarine.
I believe the pressures on an actual scuba diver underwater would be too much at 1000ft below sea level so that also justifies the reasoning.

Dx was correct in lowering the air from the tires.
Techno - Good guesses but both are incorrect.
On #1, read the question again. It might help you find the answer.
And on the scuba diver...there is really only one logical answer.

alright, the diver dies a minute or two AFTER her oxygen runs out and eventually the gas build up in her bloated dead body raises her to the surface.
still scratchin my head on the first, will re-read it a few times.

The diver doesn't die *after* her oxygen runs out.

Techno is correct and Peon is not. I'll give five more, with #1 remaining since no one has got it yet.
1) If I were in Hawaii and dropped a bowling ball in a bucket of water which is 45 degrees F, and dropped another ball of the same weight, mass,and size in a bucket at 30 degrees F, both of them at the same time, which ball would hit the bottom of the bucket first? Same question, but the location is in Canada?
2) I have seven letters. The first two stand for a boy. The first three stand for a girl. The first four stand for a brave boy. But all of my letters stand for a brave girl. What word am I?
3) My brother, the local bus driver, was telling me that recently he was driving a bus full of people and no-one got off on the way. However, at the end of the journey, there was not a single person left on the bus. How?
4) Which is worth more, a trunk full of nickels or a trunk half full of dimes?
5) We were four, one was cut and we were five. What are we?

2) Heroine: He Her Hero
3) Everyone on the bus is married?
4) The trunk half full of dimes is worth more if the trunks are the same size. Dimes are smaller and weigh less than nickels but are worth twice as much.

1. Fine, lets get technical. The second bucket has no water. Thus, the second ball will always hit the bottom first.
2. What techno said.
3. Everybody got off the bus at the last stop.
4. What techno said.
5.

Techno is correct on all -
Stellar is wrong -
Peon is correct that there is no water in the frozen bucket.
Only question left is #5 which I will carry over to the next five:
1) We were four, one was cut and we were five. What are we?
2) Correct the following equation so that it makes sense by freely moving the given four digits but without introducing any additional mathematical symbols.
76 = 24
3) A clerk in the butcher shop is 5 feet 10 inches tall. What does he weigh?
4) There's a certain 10-digit number where that the first digit is equal to the number of zeros in the entire number, the second number is the number of 1's in the entire number, and so on, to where the 10th digit is the number of 9's in the entire number. What is the number?
5) The local historical society has leased a castle to use it as a museum. The original lease was 99 years. I asked the curator how much time was left on the lease. His answer was as follows: two-thirds of the time past is equal to four- fifths of the time to come. How much time was left on the lease?
