Here's some I remember from when I was a kid (answers below):

1. How far can a dog run into the woods?

2. For purposes of this question, we are talking about common U.S. coins in popular circulation in 2013. When you add the value of two U.S. coins together, you get a total value of $0.55. Before you get too hasty, one of them is NOT a nickel. What are the two coins?

3. A small plane is loaded with 5 people, including the pilot. All of them carry dual US/Canadian citizenship. The pilot crashes, EXACTLY on the U.S./Canadian border. Three die, two live. None left a will indicating last wishes. None have any relatives. Where should they bury the survivors?

4. Two dudes are playing chess in Central Park. They play five games. There are no ties, draws, or resigned games. All five games end up with a clear winner and loser. Yet - each one wins the same amount of games. How?











Answers:

1. Halfway. Once it reaches halfway, it's running OUT of the woods.
2. A nickel and a fifty-cent piece. I said ONE of them isn't a nickel; the fifty-cent piece isn't a nickel.
3. Nowhere; you don't bury survivors.
4. They aren't playing each other.

Even though you know these are brain teasers type of questions some of them just stumped me. Then seeing the answer it makes you say Dooh!!!! I knew that!

[RoadToad]

You have a cup of coffee and a cup of tea, each containing exactly the same amount of liquid. You take one teaspoon of coffee and stir it into the tea, then take one teaspoon of the resulting mixture and stir it into the coffee. Is there more coffee in the tea, or more tea in the coffee?

[DJD]

Well hmmmm I'm gonna break it down into dark liquid=coffee and clear liquid=tea. That way i can see the difference in color.
I believe the clear liquid(tea) would have a color to it now since i put a teaspoon of dark liquid (coffee) meaning it has a mixture of the two. Taking a teaspoon of that tainted mixture out and putting it back into dark(coffee) I would guess more Coffee in the tea. I think it's logical but these dang questions are usually not what they seem!!! So its prolly neither but.........My final answer is more coffee in the tea.

[RoadToad]

Neither, there is the same amount of tea in the coffee cup as coffee in the tea cup.

[DJD]

Neither, there is the same amount of tea in the coffee cup as coffee in the tea cup.

I figured you would say that but I don't see it. Please explain.
