I have a bunch. To make it less fun, im putting the solutions at the bottom, so if you dont want to know, dont read them.

Q1. Mom, Dad, and 2 kids have come to a river, and they find a boat. It is small and can only carry one adult or 2 kids at a time. Both kids are good rowers, but how can the whole family reach the other side of the river?

Q2.Why can't you take a picture of a Indian woman with hair curlers?

Q3.What is the largest possible number you can write using only 2 digits - just 2 digits, nothing else?

Q4.Before Mt. Everest was discovered, what was the tallest mountain in the world?

Q5.Because cigars cannot be entirely smoked, a hobo who collects cigar butts can make a cigar to smoke out of every 5 butts that he finds. Today, he has collected 25 cigar butts. How many cigars will he be able to smoke?

Q6.Jenn is facetious. She is also abstemious. She gets pneumonia. Given those clues, what is the only American tree she will like?

Q7.How many birth days does the average man have?

Q8.Why are 1898 silver dollars worth more than 1897 silver dollars?

Q9.What English word can have 4 of its 5 letters removed and still retain it's original pronunciation?

Q10. If there are 5 apples on the counter and you take away 2, how many do you have?

------------------Solutions---------------------------

A1. The kids row across. One comes back. An adult goes over, and the kid comes back. Both kids row across again, and one comes back. The other adult rows across and the kid comes back. Both kids row across again.

A2.You can't take a picture with hair curlers you need a camera!

A3. 99 ( 9 to the 9th power), this is 9x9x9x9x9x9x9x9x9 or 387,420,489.

A4.Mount Everest has always been the tallest mountain, even before being discovered!
(Actually the tallest mountain is Mauna Kea in Hawaii, but that is only counting what is below the water as well.)

A5. 6, he makes 5 originals from the 25 butts he found, and after he smokes them he has 5 butts left for another cigar.

A6.The Sequoia. She only likes words with all 5 vowels in them. The Sequoia is the only American tree that contains all 5 vowels.

A7. One.

A8.$1,898.00 is one more silver dollar than $1,897.00

A9.Queue

A10. 2
