    1. What is so fragile, even saying it’s name can break it?

    2. What can you put in a wooden box to make it lighter?

    3. A man left home running. He ran a ways and then turned left, ran the same distance and turned left again, ran the same distance and turned left again. When he got home there were two masked men. Who were they?

    4. There was an airplane crash, every single person died, but two people survived. How is this possible?

    5. How far can you walk into the woods?

    Good luck guys! [;)]
    Steve.

    Clue???

    The fact that the box is wooden is a red herring. It doesnt really matter what it’s made from.

    It requires lateral thinking, and recognising a subtle play on words (sort of). [?]

    Good luck!
    Steve.

    Okay, this is a fairly easy one.

    Two identical airplanes (Plane A and Plane B) make the round-trip flight from Melbourne to Sydney on different days. They both use the exact same route and the same flight conditions are the same, save one: Plane A experiences no winds on the flight, and Plane B experiences a constant wind that gives it a headwind (flying against the wind) going to Sydney, and a tailwind (flying with the wind) back to Melbourne. If both airplanes maintain the same airspeed (speed relative to the wind) the entire flight, which airplane will take longer to complete the round-trip? Why?

    Good luck! [:o)]
    Steve.
