Teaser Tuesday! - November 26, 2013

Welcome back to Teaser Tuesday! I hope you all fully crushed last week's, or, at the very least, looked it up on Google after the fact. Here's this week's brain teasers:

Note: If you could all please input your answers using the following html code it will make your comment a button similar to the "Hint" buttons seen above, allowing others to answer without having a spoiler.

Question #1
A carnival game promises to pay out $100 if you can draw two red cards in a row from a deck of cards. The carny running the game will allow you to use a 52 card deck, or a 104 card deck that made up of two 52 card decks. Which would you select: the 52 card deck, the 104 card deck, or does it not matter?

Question #2
A man walks out of his house and sees a bear looking to turn him into a snack. For better or worse, the man starts running. First, he runs south for 100 yards, then turns east and runs another 500 yards. Seeing that the bear is still chasing him, he turns north and runs 100 yards back to his house, escaping the bear. What color was the bear?

Bonus Question
John's Mother has three children, her first born child is named May, her second born is named June, what's the name of her third child?

Good Luck!

Get ready for next week! I've built my own "Teaser" that we all think is hard enough (hopefully!) to give away a free t-shirt to the first winner! Get those brains in gear over Thanksgiving!!

Very clever most of you! Clearly, these are too easy.

Note: The answer to #2 has nothing to do with the stock market. However, that's a very clever guess.

"My caddie's chauffeur informs me that a bank is a place where people put money that isn't properly invested."
 

I'm having a similar issue but some do, and others don't. The code should be good to go (checked "View Source" and it looks good), but I think IE, being uniformly horrible, is the culprit. @CaR and @yeahright are you two using IE? Or are you using another browser?

"My caddie's chauffeur informs me that a bank is a place where people put money that isn't properly invested."
 

Ah, nevermind, I think I know the issue (or, at least one of the issues).

For those of you who are about to answer (I'm not sure if old comments can be edited), make sure the answer you put into the HTML code does not contain any ' or " as that messes the code up.

"My caddie's chauffeur informs me that a bank is a place where people put money that isn't properly invested."
