NEW SET
1.) Usually yesterday comes before today, but I know of a place where yesterday follow today. Where?
2.) You are starving and have to choose between two pieces of meat that have been sitting out in the same place for the same length of time. One has a few maggots on it, the other appears fresh. Which one should you choose and why?
3.) In a town, there are two barber shops. You need a haircut, but want to get a good one. The first barbershop is terribly out of order; there is hair everywhere and the hairdresser himself has an awful hairdo. The other is perfectly clean, and the barber has a perfectly clean cut hairdo. Which do you choose and why?
4.) Here are three answers: a. Answer A b. Answer A or B c. Answer B or C
Only one answer is correct. Which one?
5.) In the middle of a round pool lies a beautiful water-lily. The water-lily doubles in size every day. After exactly 20 days the complete pool will be covered by the lily. On which day will half the pool be covered by the lily?
6.) You have two jugs, a 5 liter and a 3 liter, and you're standing next to a well. Using only the jugs (and no other form of measurement) and assuming it's impossible to spill water, how can you get exactly 4 liters?
7.) General Gasslefield, accused of high treason, is sentenced to death by the court-martial. He is allowed to make a final statement, after which he will be shot if the statement is false or will be hung if the statement is true. Gasslefield makes his final statement and is released. What did he say?
8.) It's always 1 to 6, it's always 15 to 20, it's always 5, but it's never 21, unless it's flying.
What is it?
9.) A horse is worth as much as two bulls and one sheep. A bull is worth as much as two cows. Two cows are worth as much as five donkeys. A donkey is worth as much as four sheep. How many sheep is a horse worth?
10.) A person lives on the tenth floor of a building. Every day he takes the elevator to go down to the ground floor to go out. When he returns he takes the elevator to the seventh floor and walks up the stairs to reach his apartment on the tenth floor. Only on rainy days does he take the elevator to the tenth floor. He hates the stairs, so why does he do it?

5 though 10 are right, 4 is wrong
The answer I had for 10 was that he was a child, but midget works too.
That leaves 1 - 4.

1.) The International Date Line
2.) You choose the one with the maggots because maggots only eat rotten flesh.
3.) You choose the first because obviously everybody else prefers that one as the barber doesn't even have enough time to clean up or give himself a decent haircut, while at the second, the barber has the time to do such things as he gets less business.
4.) C. Because C implies the answer could be B, which would imply the answer could be A or B. Also, it implies the answer could be C, thus covering all possibilities.

1.) Right-ish but wrong at the same time. That's only true if you're traveling against the rotation of the Earth.
2.) Why would you eat the one that's rotten?
3.) WHY does he get less business?
4.) Right, but I had different justification. If C is right, B and A cannot be right (as C is not present as an answer in either) if A is right, then B could be right, meaning there would be 2 correct answers. If B is right, A or C could be right, also contradicting the statement "one answer is correct". C is the only answer which could be certain that no other answer is right.
1-3 are still open.

2) You eat the one that's rotten, because the other one was sprayed with insecticides, so it would be poisonous.
3) The new barber hasn't had any business at all. The other barber has had too much business, with very little time to clean his shop, or give himself a haircut.

1) Venus - the only planet to rotate counter-clockwise, thus reversing the days.

That's quite possibly the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

3) Pick the messy barber, his place is a mess because he has so much business and has a bad hair cut because the other barber is a bad barber. The bad barber has a nice haircut because it was given to him by the good/messy barber. Bad barber\'s place is so clean because he has a lot of free time on his hands since he\'s not good at his job.

Much better. 1 is the only one left.
1.) Usually yesterday comes before today, but I know of a place where yesterday follows today. Where?
