1) How much soil is there in a hole measuring one metre by one metre by one metre?
2) Would a steel ball travel faster through water at 25c or -5c?
3) There are 5 apples in a basket and five people in a room. How can you give an apple to each person in the room and yet leave one apple in the basket.
4) A fishing boat is lying in the harbour. There is a rope ladder hanging over the side with its end touching the water. The rungs of the ladder are 1 metre apart and the tide is rising at 50 centimetres an hour.
At the end of 6 hours, how many of the rungs will be covered?
5) A man dressed all in black is walking down a country lane. Suddenly a large black car without any lights on comes round the corner and screeches to a halt.
How did the driver know there was a man in the road?
6) What is the difference between Illegal and Unlawful?
7) A pilot is flying a helicopter around a large equilateral triangular course, with way-points labelled A, B and C. To fly from point A to point B takes him one hour and twenty minutes. To fly from point B to point C takes him another one hour and twenty minutes. However, to fly from point C back to point A ONLY takes him eighty minutes. Since the pilot maintained a constant speed all the way, how did he achieve this?
8) A man lives in a normal house, but the four sides each face south. From inside the man sees a bear. What colour is the bear?
9) A man left home running. He ran a ways and then turned left, ran the same distance and turned left again, ran the same distance and turned left again. When he got home there were two masked men. Who were they?
10) Eskimos are very good hunters, but they never hunt penguins. Why not?
