\"Questions\"<\/a><\/strong>1. Two eight-year olds, Alex and Tim, were building sandcastles on the beach. Once they had had enough, they lay down on their backs for an hour on the sand and had a sleep. When they awoke, they both got up to have a game of football. Alex\u2019s back was covered in sand, but Tim\u2019s was not. Why then did Tim go and wash himself in the sea whilst Alex was content to stay on the beach?
