    This is a good one.

    You're being held in a room, on the wall are three light switches A,B,C one of them controls a light bulb in a different room. You will be taken to that room later on. To survive you all you have to do is tell the person in that room which switch controls the light.

    Switch A. Wait 10 minutes. Switch off.
    Switch B.
    Go into the room.

    If bulb is off, but hot, A is correct.
    If bulb is on, B is correct.
    If bulb is off, C is correct.

    Someone shot him, put him in the car and then locked it.

    A man stood looking through a window 10 storeys up. Suddenly, he opened the window and leapt through it. It was a sheer drop outside the window to the ground. He didnt use a parachute, land on water or another soft surface, yet he was completely unhurt. Explain?

    well he obviously was outside the window and jumped in :)
    ,standing on one of those things painters stand on.

    They will be killed unless one of them shouts out the colour of his hat. They know that there are two white and two black hats. They are not allowed talk to each other and they have 2 minutes to come up with an answer. A is behind a wall. After 1 minute, D correctly gives the colour of his hat. How does he know for certain what colour it is?
