I have two for you today!

Quote:

You are in a cabin and it is pitch black. You have one match on you. Which do you light first, the newspaper, the lamp, the candle or the fire?

Quote:

If you are in a race, what place are you in if you take over the person who is in second place?

Enjoy!

1. From the choices given, I would light the candle first (after I had lit the match of course!!)

2. 2nd place.

Okay, since Robbo basically solved both of them right away (light the match first), I'll give one more... it's a bit harder!

A man has to get a fox, a chicken, and a sack of corn across a river. He has a rowboat, and it can only carry him and one other thing. If the fox and the chicken are left together, the fox will eat the chicken. If the chicken and the corn is left together, the chicken will eat the corn. How does the man do it?

He takes the chicken first, then the fox but returns with the chicken

Takes the corn over next then returns to get the chicken

Nice!

Man carries chicken, man leaves chicken and comes back, man gets fox, man leaves fox and gets chicken, man leaves chicken and gets corn, man leaves fox and corn to get chicken, man gets chicken.
