Can you get all of these brain teasers right without cheating? I couldn't! Good luck to you :)

90 D in a R A
7 W of the A W
12 S of the Z

Answer quickly. Starting with an empty barrel, which happens first?
2/3 full

Puzzle 6:
In a dictionary, the verb 'BE' is described as:
BE [verb]
first and third person singular past indicative: was
second person singular and plural and first and third person plural past indicative: were
past subjunctive: were
past participle: been
present participle: being
first person singular present indicative: am
second person singular and plural and first and third person plural present indicative: are
third person singular present indicative: is
present subjunctive: be
Therefore you can correctly say 'I am', 'she is', 'you are', etc. Is it ever grammatically correct to say 'I is'?
Puzzle 7:
During a crazy weekend of paintball, four friends were having great fun. The paint came in blue, green, yellow and red. Coincidentally, the four friends had T-shirts in those same colours.

Simon was the only person who used paint which was the same colour as his T-shirt. Can you tell which colour paint they each used and the colour of their respective T-shirts?

The answer is 15.
The paragraph should read:
As you can see, my printer replaces every third letter with the letter 'o'.
How many different letters have been replaced?
I actually figured out the sentence after reading it for a while, but somehow I counted 14. >_< -Tyler

312211: each term describes the previous term. Therefore the missing term should be read as: three ones, two twos and one one.
Puzzle 5:
3/4 empty: since 3/4 empty means 1/4 full.
I actually got this one right! ^_^ -Tyler

Puzzle 9:
1. errers [should be errors]
2. They [should be There]
3. there are only two errors
Actually, I think there are 5 errors because the comma should be a period, and the W in "what" should be capitalized. Thats 4 errors, which then makes the fifth error. Ha. I can say confusing things too, BrainBashers! -Tyler
Puzzle 10:
Now go back and read the THIRD word in each line from the top.
