Couple Different Ones.?

Question

1.)A horse is tied to a 15 ft. rope and there is a bail of hay 25 ft. away from him. Yet the horse is able to eat from the bail of hay. How is this possible?

2.)A man was found murdered one Sunday morning.
His wife immediately called the police.
The police questioned the wife and staff and was given these alibis:
The Wife said she was in bed reading a book.
The Cook claimed she cooking breakfast.
The Gardener claimed he was planting seeds.
The Maid claimed she was getting the mail.
The Butler claimed he polishing the silver.
The police instantly arrested the murdered. Who did it and how did they know?

3.)Fred owns a pet store.
He puts one canary per cage, but has one bird too many.
If he puts two canaries in each cage, he has one cage too many.
How many cages and canaries does he have?

4.)Steve, a party magician, is carrying three pieces of gold each piece weighing one kilogram.
On the way to a session he comes to a bridge which has a sign posted saying the bridge could hold only a maximum of 80 kilograms.
Steve weighs 78 kilograms and the gold weighs three kilograms.
He reads the sign and still safely crossed the bridge with all the gold.
How did he manage this?

5.)You are in a house with 4 windows, one window is on each wall they all face South, a bear walks by.
What color is the Bear?

6.)What has a mouth that never talks, always runs but never walks?

Answer 1

1. The rope isn't tied to anything, so the horse can go freely to anywhere it pleases.

2. The maid because there are no mail's on sunday

3. Fred has 3 cages and 4 canaries.

4. Steve is a juggler. When he came to the bridge he juggled the gold, always keeping one piece in the air.

5. Since all the windows face south, the house must be at the North Pole and the Bear is White.

Thus the bear is a Polar Bear.

6. A River

=)

Answer 2

1. The horse IS tied up, but the hay is still within the 15 foot radius circle the horse can make with the rope (there's 15 feet between the horse and what's he's tied to, and 10 foot beyond what's he's tied to is the hay).

2. Maid did it - no mail on Sunday.

3. let x = number of canaries
y = number of cages

x = y + 1(one canary per cage, one bird too many)
(x/2) +1 = y (two canaries per cage, one cage too many)

x = (x/2) + 1 + 1
2x = x + 4
x = 4
y = 3

Therefore, 4 canaries, 3 cages.

4. There are many possible answers here (he throws one over to the other side, he makes more than one trip across the bridge, etc.), but none of these fit with Steve's occupation -- he's a party magician. He could juggle them, but the downward force needed to keep the one gold piece up in the air would certainly cause the bridge to collapse, so I'm not in favor of this one either.

Therefore, I'm voting for he makes them disappear and reappear on the other side, which is in line with his magical abilities. :-) {I'm still wondering how Steve acquired said pieces of gold - party magicians don't make that much - do they?}

5. White - you're at the North pole.

6. A river.
