#8 A glacier? Which direction is it moving?
The correct answer is "UP". This is one of many glaciers in the Himilayas that's growing. So are the Himilayas - about a centimeter every 90 years or so. Can you imagine? The tallest mountains in the world are getting taller. That'll make it even harder for those Pak/Indian troops to face one another in another 500 years - and if the past is any indication, they'll still be at it then.
