3) A clerk in the butcher shop is 5 feet 10 inches tall. What does he weigh? He weighs meat.4) There's a certain 10-digit number where that the first digit is equal to the number of zeros in the entire number, the second number is the number of 1's in the entire number, and so on, to where the 10th digit is the number of 9's in the entire number. What is the number? 6,210,001,0005) The local historical society has leased a castle to use it as a museum. The original lease was 99 years. I asked the curator how much time was left on the lease. His answer was as follows: two-thirds of the time past is equal to four- fifths of the time to come. How much time was left on the lease? 45 years

1) Two men were being tried for murder. The jury found one man guilty and the other innocent. The judge turned to the guilty man and said, "Even though your guilt has been established, the law compels me to set you free." How could such a bizarre judgement occur?
The proof of the man's guilt was found unlawfully, forcing the court to disclaim evidence, making the man free the go
2) A man went to a party and drank some of the punch, then left early. Everyone else at the party who drank the punch subsequently died of poisoning. Why did the man not die? (And the poison was not put in after he left)
Big bowl, the guy only had a glass or two. Everyone else overdrank and died of alcohol poisoning.
3) A woman had two sons who were born on the same hour of the same day of the same year but they were not twins. How could this be so?
Different months. First born in January/February... Second born in November/December...
4) A man died and went to Heaven. There were thousands of other people there. They were all naked and all looked as they died at the age of 21. He looked around to see if there was anyone he recognized. He saw a couple and he knew immediately that they were Adam and Eve. How did he know?
No idea
5) You throw away the outside and cook the inside. Then you eat the outside and throw away the inside. What did you eat?
Some fruit with a pit that you have to peel?

Greeny- Good guesses, all wrong, they were also all answered on previous pages. Here are the next five, with one that continues unanswered: 1) Correct the following equation so that it makes sense by freely moving the given four digits but without introducing any additional mathematical symbols. 76 = 24 2) Though in theory I am always behind you, I am also around to remind you. But in case it's your way to give me too much say, I can hamper or, even worse, blind you. What am I? 3) After two years, Dave was stepping down from being the treasurer of a group of animal rights activists. To show him their appreciation a bunch of them took him out one sunny morning. Dave shot an eagle and everyone congratulated him. Where had they gone? 4) A man gave one son 10 cents and another son was given 15 cents. What time is it? 5) Farmer Joe came to town with some watermelons. He sold half of them plus half a melon, and found that he had one whole melon left. How many melons did he take to town?

If you flip the 2 and 4 upside down independently and write them all jagged and stuff, the 2 becomes a 7 with a curly stalk and the 4 becomes a 6 with a pointy circle. Golf course. I believe it would be 3 melons.
Half of 3 is one and a half, plus another half makes it two melons sold.

Gray - Wrong, and techno is correct on 3 & 5 only. wasn't me, was phoenix, he just has the same style of answering as me. Plus those were my guesses as well. for #1 I might be getting close. I figure it's either something to do with using exponentials or something. 6*7=42 is almost valid but it introduces a new math symbol so it cant be right. *scratches head*

The Past It's always behind us but we also remember the past. If we focus to long on the past we can become blinded(to the present) by it.
