1) 1,521 - all of the other numbers contain a multiple of 3.

2) x

3) A

4) Rocket Boys

5) I like studley's answer... the ones I came up with were probably off.



Here's a riddle for you, Mom...


What has a head but no face,
can't walk, but can race,
a mouth but can't eat,
has legs but no feet?

try:

I never was, am always to be,
No one ever saw me, nor ever will
And yet I am the confidence of all
To live and breathe on this terrestrial ball.
