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.
