2. 1:45. The man gave away a total of 25 cents. He divided it between two people. Therefore, he gave a quarter to two.

********

3. None, the boat rises with the tide. Googly ;-)

********

4. White. If all the walls face south, the house is at the North pole, and the bear, therefore, is a polar bear.
