1.Suppose you want to send in the mail a valuable object to a friend. You have a box which is big enough to hold the object. The box has a locking ring which is large enough to have a lock attached and you have several locks with keys. However, your friend does not have the key to any lock that you have. You cannot send the key in an unlocked box since it may be stolen or copied. How do you send the valuable object, locked, to your friend - so it may be opened by your friend?

2.Why can't Kevin Laroche, who is now living in Canada, not be buried in the USA?

3.A woman was horrified to find a fly in her tea. The waiter took her cup and went into the kitchen and returned with a fresh cup of tea. She shouted, "You brought me the same tea!" How did she know?

4.There once was an evil wizard. He took 3 woman from their homes and turned them into rose bushes that looked exactly alike. He put them in his garden. One of the woman had a husband and children and begged the wizard to let her see them. He agreed. At night, he brought the woman to her house. In the morning he came and took her home. One day the husband decided to go rescue her. So he snuck into the wizard's garden. He looked and looked at the 3 identical rose bushes trying to figure out which could be his wife. Suddenly, he knew the answer and he took his wife home. How did he know which rose bush was his wife?

5.Three friends check into a motel for the night and the clerk tells them the bill is $30, payable in advance. So, they each pay the clerk $10 and go to their room. A few minutes later, the clerk realizes he has made an error and overcharged the trio by $5. He asks the bellhop to return $5 to the 3 friends who had just checked in. The bellhop sees this as an opportunity to make $2 as he reasons that the three friends would have a tough time dividing $5 evenly among them; so he decides to tell them that the clerk made a mistake of only $3, giving a dollar back to each of the friends. He pockets the leftover $2 and goes home for the day! Now, each of the three friends gets a dollar back, thus they each paid $9 for the room which is a total of $27 for the night. We know the bellhop pocketed $2 and adding that to the $27, you get $29, not $30 which was originally spent. Where did the other dollar go????

5. that's some shaky math reasoning... They paid $25, not $27 for their room (30 minus 5), the remaining $5 was split between them ($3) and the bellhop ($2), like you said...unless you have a dollar in your pocket :D

A man went into the hardware store to buy a 5' wooden broom handle. Finding that they were only made 4'-10-1/2", he paid six dollars for it and left the store at 11:00. He then walked the two blocks to the number 42 bus stop, to catch the 11:20 bus to the 12:30 matinee. Digging in his pocket, he found the 32 cents bus fare. As the bus pulled up along side him, he noticed a sign on the side of the bus that said, "Carry on objects must be no longer than 48". " He told the driver to wait 3 minutes, turned around once and went into the Acme Box Company, bought a number 13 corrugated plain white/gold trim for $9.38, and got on the bus. Why did the bus driver let him on with his broom handle?

This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it? It looks so plain you would think nothing was wrong with it! In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is unusual though. Study it, and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out! Try to do so without any coaching!


no letter e?

no fair DS; I was raised on the metric system and am not even sure if his broom-handle is longer or shorter than 48".
Aaaand English is my second language (as you know) so unless I cheat and Google I have no clue, despite my love of many syllabled words (like dinosaur) :D.
I can tell you what the Dutch word with the most consecutive vowels is....wanna trade?

2.Why can't Kevin Laroche, who is now living in Canada, not be buried in the USA?

My guess is that he's alive (and therefore won't be burried for quite a while).

3.A woman was horrified to find a fly in her tea. The waiter took her cup and went into the kitchen and returned with a fresh cup of tea. She shouted, "You brought me the same tea!" How did she know?

Fly guts all over it. Duh.

4.There once was an evil wizard. He took 3 woman from their homes and turned them into rose bushes that looked exactly alike. He put them in his garden. One of the woman had a husband and children and begged the wizard to let her see them. He agreed. At night, he brought the woman to her house. In the morning he came and took her home. One day the husband decided to go rescue her. So he snuck into the wizard's garden. He looked and looked at the 3 identical rose bushes trying to figure out which could be his wife. Suddenly, he knew the answer and he took his wife home. How did he know which rose bush was his wife?

Cause it was yelling at him to do the dishes.

Here's a little riddle of my own:

You're running in a race, and you pass the 2nd place guy. What place are you in now?

Yeah, you guys probably got that one.

How about this one:

You're running in a different race. Assuming no one (including you) has or will lap each other, what place are you in if you pass the last place person?

What common 3 letter word is one syllable, but a letter is added at the end, it becomes 4 syllables (as well as 4 letters long)?

Here's the riddle:

At the exact same time, there are two 35-year-old men on
opposite sides of the earth:

One is walking a tight rope between two skyscrapers at
the 85th floor.

The other is receiving oral sex from an 85-year-old
toothless woman.

They are both thinking the exact same thing.

What are they both thinking?
