Kaz 50 Report post Posted November 3, 2009 (edited) 1. Pears There are a few trees in a garden. On one of them, a pear tree, there are pears (quite logical). But after a strong wind blew, there were neither pears on the tree nor on the ground. How come? 2. Apples A basket contains 5 apples. Do you know how to divide them among 5 kids so that each one has an apple and one apple stays in the basket? Give 4 kids an apple and the last kid an apple in a basket. 3. Sack A poor farmer went to the market to sell some peas and lentils. However, as he had only one sack and didn't want to mix peas and lentils, he poured in the peas first, tied the sack in the middle, and then filled the top portion of the sack with the lentils. At the market a rich innkeeper happened by with his own sack. He wanted to buy the peas, but he did not want the lentils. Pouring the seed anywhere else but the sacks is considered soiling. Trading sacks is not allowed. The farmer can’t cut a hole in his sack. How would you transfer the peas to the innkeeper’s sack, which he wants to keep, without soiling the produce? 4. Sea Tales The captain of a ship was telling this interesting story: "We traveled the sea far and wide. At one time, two of my sailors were standing on opposite sides of the ship. One was looking west and the other one east. And at the same time, they could see each other clearly." How can that be possible? They are facing each other on opposite sides of the boat.

How can this be? They are two of triplets. 6. Photograph I am looking at somebody's photo. Who is it I am looking at, if I don't have any brothers or sisters and the father of the man in the photo is the son of my father? The photo is of your child. 7.

Kaz 50 Report post Posted November 3, 2009 (edited) For the pear one. Is it that there are a pair of pear trees? There were never any pears on the trees in the first place? There is one pear tree. **EDIT: My hint for the pear one has more then 1 meaning** Yeah the letter M. Edited November 3, 2009 by Kaz Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kaz 50 Report post Posted November 3, 2009 1. Pears There are a few trees in a garden. On one of them, a pear tree, there are pears (quite logical). But after a strong wind blew, there were neither pears on the tree nor on the ground. How come? Hint:Play on word(s) Answer: At first, there were 2 pears on the tree. After the wind blew, one pear fell on the ground. So there where no pears on the tree and there were no pears on the ground. 3. Sack A poor farmer went to the market to sell some peas and lentils. However, as he had only one sack and didn't want to mix peas and lentils, he poured in the peas first, tied the sack in the middle, and then filled the top portion of the sack with the lentils.

Hint: Use the other mans sack and bind it. Answer: Pour the lentils into the innkeeper’s sack, bind it and turn inside out. Pour in the peas. Then unbind the sack a pour the lentils back to your sack Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
