Hi,
Try these. They are all fairly easy & logical, no trick questions....
1. Name an ancient invention, which is still used in some parts of the world today, that allows people to see through walls.
2. How can you throw a ball so that it goes a short distance, comes to a total stop, reverses its motion, and then goes the opposite way. You are not allowed to bounce it against anything, hit it with anything, or tie it to anything.
3. How many flowers do I have if all but two are dandelions, all but two are roses and all but two are pansies?
4. Where on Earth do the winds always blow from the South?
5. How many times can you take 7 away from 49?
6. In a day of foraging, a tramp collects 49 cigarette ends. He knows that for every 7 cigarette ends he can make a new cigarette. How many cigarettes can the tramp make and then actually smoke?
