    Good idea for a thread. Hopefully people won't just search for the answers to these :).

    Here's one that annoyed me when I was told it first:

    If you divide thirty by a half and add ten, what is the answer?

    30/.5 =60 + 10 =70 surely?

    70?:o
    Correct! You'd be surprised how many people will answer 25 :).

    Here's a good one:

    He who builds it, builds it to sell it,
    He who buys it doesn't want it
    He who uses it never sees it.
    What is it?

    It's one of those logical but really annoyingly stupid answers that's makes you want to punch the person for asking the question. I'll wait a little bit longer to get punched though!!!:D

    Ah yes, I wasn't sure but now I see the post you're referring to. I was nearly right :).

    I know the answer's going to be annoying but so's the waiting!

    Missed that someone had already answered it right already, yeah the egg came first. Dinosaurs were having eggs long before the chicken arrived.......now isn't that such an annoying answer to an age old question.

    Bet you someone is going to ask that in the pub this weekend!!!
