    River crossing

    I imagine a lot of people have played this but I think of it as a classic.

    Circle button to start.

    Man, Woman and Policeman can operate the boat.

    Man cannot be left with any of the girls.

    Woman cannot be left with any of the boys.

    The criminal cannot be left with anyone unless policeman is there.

    Get them all to the other side.

    She's old enough to offer a free one now for the first person to get it without mentioning - it.

    They haven't paid 9 euro each ya dope,

    25/3 = 8.3333 + 1 euro = 9.3333 each x 3 = 28

    And the Jipo waiter has the 2 bob
    Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

    The women have paid 9 euro each. Each paid out €10 and got back €1. €10 - €1 = €9.

    3 x €9 = €27.

    The waiter has €2.

    The twist is that the waiters €2 is included in the €27. €25 for the meal and €2 for the waiter.The original question effectively counted the €2 twice. The remaining €3 is the €3 that was refunded.

    1. Name any word that becomes shorter even if you add 2 more letters to it?
    short

    2. From which 7 letter word, if you take out 4 letters, you will have one left?
    someone

    3. You cannot see him in the same way as you see others. His voice is different from what you hear. He is always with you when you are alone or in a crowd. He listens to each and every word you utter and he is your best friend but speaks to you once in a blue moon? Who's he?
    yourself

    4. Danny was running really late for something. So he got his father's black Mustang and whooshed away in no time. His lights were not working for some reason, and even the moon was not out. Suddenly a cat was crossing the street and he missed it by a fraction. How did Danny see the animal?
    it was 10 in the morning, everything was visible

    A manager of a factory has 10 conveyor belts churning out chocolate bars. One of the belts is giving out bars 10% heavier than the others, say 110g as opposed to 100g from the other 9. He needs to find out which one and fix the problem. However, he can only use the weighing scales once. How does he do it?

    put the bars onto the scales one at a time. when the scales reads ?10g you know that's the heavier bar

    A boy is out with his father and their car crashes. The father is killed and the boy is seriously injured. He's rushed to hospital and prepared for an emergency operation. The surgeon comes out and says "I can't operate on him, he's my son". How?

    put a bar from each belt on it all together, then take them off until you're left with the heavier one

    Nope, you can only put a weight onto the scales once and take one reading off it.
