A Man is standing in his bedroom door, next to the door is a light switch and there is 1 light bulb on the ceiling, across the bedroom there is a bed, the man says when he turns off the light, he can get into bed before the light goes out, how is this possible??
Cause he's heavier...

Ahh, you got it! ok heres another one for you:
Imagine that you need to put a coin into an empty bottle and then insert a cork into the neck.
Is there a way to remove the coin without taking out the cork or breaking the bottle?

Deletedt post (current post is above)
Remove the coin before you put the cork in? XD
Imagine that you could be like shadow cat and get the coin from the bottle. XD
@ Chim & Tacx: good try, but not the right answer
The empty bottle has 2 openings?

Is the answer "No, there isn't a way"?
EDIT
Could you push the cork into the big part of the bottle so that the neck is free and you can get the coin out when you tip it upside down?

yep, you got it! push the cork into the bottle and turn it upside down to get the coin.
heres another:
Two men and two women stand on a riverbank. They would like to get on the other side with a boat. Unfortunately, the boat can only carry as much as two people.
The 4 people can not cross the river at the same speed. One women is able to cross it in 5 minutes and the other in 10. The men can cross it in 20 and 25 minutes. (This means that if a men is in the boat, the minimum cross time - one way - will be 20 minutes.)
How can they cross the river in one hour ?
The 2 guys kill the bitches and take the boat for themselves.
Could you use the 5 minute woman to captain the raft at all times? You could also do it with the 10 minute woman.

close, your on the right track
...cus they only have to make 3 trips.
have one peson have to remain on the boat for it to retrieve the next person.
so, on the third trip, the last two would be the only ones left
I already tried to work it out that way maybe XP
I think it worked out as over 1 hour XD
sacrifice the guy that needs 25min, lazy bastard
Military Intelligence are two contradictory words
Okay, so I'm guessing the minimum time it takes is dependent on the one that is slowest. So, first the two women go first, it should take 10 minutes. The 5 minute woman goes back(thats 15 minutes) and allows both the men to go across, should be about 40 minutes now. Then, the 10 minute woman goes back and picks up the 5 minute woman and they should get across in about 1 hour.

correct!
*points*
Hey how come wolf always knows the answer.
*blank stare*
When it said "This means that if a men is in the boat, the minimum cross time - one way - will be 20 minutes." i thought it meant 2 people would take longer for a 1 way trip than just 1 person XD
Tacx Wrote:Hey how come wolf always knows the answer.
I don't always know the answer. Anyway, I only answered two, Mav answered the other one.
I know one thing, I never answer these kinds of questions correctly because instead of working within the bounds of the question, I like to change the constant of the universe to suit my answer XD
You've read it! You can't unread it!
lynk's right why answer ahard question when you can change the universe to suite your answer.
By the way Wolf, impressive maybe you should put upa dectective agency maybe you can... XD
No thanks. That whole black and white thing, with me having to wear a hat and suspenders, talking about "broads" kinda creeps me out.
huh, i cant seem to understand what you're saying wolf. (-_-)'
Yeah, I meant something like that, but more alcoholic.
I got somethng dont really know if it's a puzzle
one sunday morning a man was found dead in his house. not long after that the police came and questioned the poeple living with him. here are the alibi.
Wife: i dont know, when i woke up i found him dead.
Cook: i was ccoking at that time, i didnt noticed.
Butler: i was at the roof that time.
Maid: i was in the post office, mailing letters.
Gardiner: i was at the garden planting new flowers.
Guard: i was stationed at the gate that time.
Now among them is the killer, who is it and why is that person the killer?
