Question: There are 3 men, two Chimps, and one Gorilla on one side of a river:

  • They have a boat but only the men and the Gorilla can row the boat across, so there must always be a human and/or Gorilla on the boat.
  • The boat can only carry two people/monkeys.
  • If monkeys and humans are together on one side of the river there must be as many or more people than monkeys for the men's safety.
How can all men and monkeys make it to the other side?

Question: There are two women on a stage. One is in tears, the other is smiling. Who are these women (not names), why are they expressing that facial expression, & what kind of situation are they in? HINTS: These women don't work as employees on setting up the stage. This is not a comedy show. The stage has curtains, and this show is very famous. The person with tears is in fact overwhelmed with joy, and the other is "sad." The crowd laughs and cheers at the joyful woman. These women are no older than 25 years old. Both women are wearing a very expensive dress. What's the answer?

Question: The warden of a circular jail is extremely hyper one day so he begins running around opening cells. The jail has 100 cells numbered from 1 to 100. He runs in a circle and opens all of the cells. Next he runs around and closes every 2nd cell (starting with cell 2, 4, 6 , etc.). If a cell is open he closes it and if a cell is closed he opens it. When he finishes running by all 100 cells he opens/closes every 3rd cell (starting with 3, 6, 9, 12 etc.), then every 4th cell (starting with 4, 8, 12, etc.) and so on. He does this until he goes around and only changes the 100th cell.

When he is done what cells will be open?
