Answer: NBC

"Crime and Punishment" features real cases and real people. There are no reenactments on this show.

2. Which domain suffix would be used for an ISP's network node computers?

Answer: .net

.NET domains are used by ISPs and network providers for their network nodes. .COM is mainly used by commercial organizations. .ORG is mainly used for miscellaneous organizations which don't fit under .COM, .EDU, or .GOV. And .ISP is fake!

Ok let's break up the brainteaser: Kathy Word's son's sister is her daugher. Her daughter's uncle is her brother. Her brother's brother is also her brother. So David's sister is Kathy.

5. If I was a citizen of the United States and I was vacationing in Ireland, what would I have to get before I could enter Ireland? (no, not the airplane ticket!)
