[SIZE=4]Q1. Four men met every Thursday lunchtime at the Turkish Baths. Joe, a musician, always brought his personal casette player so he could listen to music. Jack, a banker, brought a thermos containing a drink. Jim and John were both lawyers and brought paperback books to read.
One day in the mist-filled room, John was found dead from a deep wound through his heart. The police were called immediately. They questioned all three suspects, but no one said they had seen anything happen. A thorough search was carried out, but no murder weapon could be found. What happened?


Q2. Five men were proceeding together down a country path. It began to rain. Four of the men quickened their step and began to walk faster. The fifth man made no effort to move any faster. However, he remained dry and the other four got wet. They all arrived at their destination together. How could this be so?
N.B. They relied only on foot power!


Q3. A woman sat at her kitchen table with her two sons. She spoke to each of her sons and they replied to her, but the sons never spoke to each other. The boys had not fallen out and did not dislike each other. Although they conversed freely with their mother, they never addressed a word to one another. Why?


Q4. One day, two sisters decided to clean out the old shed at the bottom of their garden. When they had finished the cleaning, one of them had a dirty face and the other had a clean face. The sister with the clean face went and washed her face, but the girl with the dirty face did not wash. Why should this be so?


Q5. Farmer Giles has four sheep. One day, he notices that they are standing in such a way that they are all the same distance away from each other. That is to say, the distance between any two of the four sheep is the same. How can this be so?

    Much too close for me to say no Legs so here is the full answer.

    The sheep are standing on the four corner points of an equal-sided pyramid. Or to put it another way, three are on the points of an equilateral triangle and one is on a mound of earth in the centre.

    Q1: Jack the banker had a icicle in his thermos not a drink. When the place steamed up he stabbed John through the heart and by the time anyone else saw this the murder weapon had evaporated (very like the guy that hung himself and all that was under him was a puddle)

    Q2: He had an unbrella?

    Q3: The sons had different fathers and were raised in different countries so didn't speak a common language, they could only communicate through their mother who had lived in both countries.

    Q4: The sister with the clean face was a bit of a bitch and never told her sister her face was dirty, but seeing as she saw her sisters face dirty she cleaned her own

    Q5: What legs said
  14. magicalman9357's Avatar
