1. How long is the life span of a housefly? ?,4
Has anybody found an answer? I' ve looked on several websites - and even a book! - and have found different answers. I queried the ?,4 and that is correct.

One site I looked at said 20 to 30 days

Another 15-30 days
Since this whole site is dedicated to this it is probably fairly accurate

Does ?,4 mean that the answer has four letters? Just clarifying.

The second word has four letters. I asked setter about the ? And she said something like if she'd put anything differbent , it would give it away. Not sure what she meant.

Thanks, grasscarp, that's one of the sites I looked at, I think. Will go with that answer as the quiz is due in next week.
