None Seeps Through Riddle
When liquid splashes me, none seeps through,
When I'm moved a lot, liquid I spew,
When I am hit, color I change,
And colors I come in, quite a range,
What I cover is quite complex,
Yet I am very easy to flex.

The Farmer In Australia
A farmer in Australia grows a beautiful pear tree, which he harvests to supply fruit to all the nearby grocery stores.
One of the store owners has called the farmer to see how much fruit is available that he can buy. Unfortunately the farmer isn't currently near the tree, so he has to work it out in his head.
He knows that the main trunk of the tree has 24 branches. That each branch has 12 boughs and that each bough has only got 6 twigs. Each one of these twigs bears one piece of fruit, so how many plums will he be able to sell to the store owner?

During a baseball game in Redmond, John was Redmonds lead-off batter. There were no substitutions or changes in the Redmond batting order at all during the nine-inning game. John came to bat in every inning. What is the least number of runs Redmond could have scored?
