Red Herrings

I get these in school. They're called "red herrings". I guess they're like riddles, but you're allowed to ask yes/no questions (if you want/need to). Good luck, and have fun!

5. Mr. Sennit was a gold medal winner in the Olympics for backwards races. When asked if he participated in any other sports, he said, "Why, yes, I do." What sport did Mr. Sennit play?

xD That is SO HARD. I'm not even gonna try.

The answer is so random. XD Someone in my class just shouted it out to be stupid--uh, funny and he was right. XD

There was a really big one, so they cut it in half and they got it?
*think stupid and like a class clown*

Or...

They didn't e at apples....

or...


They all just took as many bites of an apple as they wanted. XD

No, that's not it. XD They all ate some apples.

Does he give them the core? xD I have no idea.

Haha, no. xD I'll go add a hint.

Are the 'apples' people? You know, like bad apples? xD

No, actual apples. Like the food. From trees. xD

He makes them into apple sauce and gives each friend an equal amount? XP Or he makes them into apple pie? Or apple jam? Idk.

Mo got it. xD Apple pie. xD

Yeah. xD That one was kinda easy.

I posted a new one.

I dunno what I have to figure out, why she's mad, or why the girl likes shoes better than sneakers, or the reason why sneakers are different than shoes.

The sneakers could be nasty little peoples, sneaking into your house!

xD No, the sneakers are the kind of sneakers you wear on your feet. xD

So then what am I supposed to be answering!?!

Why are her parents mad at her for liking shoes more than sneakers?

Because shoes has a homophone for a naughty word in the middle of it? *snicker snicker*
Nevermind... Only I would think of that...
Wait, is that the answer? XP

No, that's not the answer. xD
