RRRRIIIIDDDDLLLLEEEESSSS!!!!?

1. Which is correct? seven and five ARE thirteen or seven and five IS thirteen?

2. Your last good ping-pong ball fell down into a narrow metal pipe imbedded in concrete one foot deep.

How can you get it out undamaged, if all the tools you have are your tennis paddle, your shoe-laces, and your plastic water bottle, which does not fit into the pipe?

3 How can you throw a ball as hard as you can and have it come back to you, even if it doesn't bounce off anything? There is nothing attached to it, and no one else catches or throws it back to you.

Update:

Sonotina got it :)

    1. Five and seven don't equal thirteen, they equal twelve.

    2. Is the water bottle filled? If so, just pour the water into the pipe and then the water level will rise, causing the ball to rise with it.

    3. You throw the ball up into the air.
