These are some really old riddles, they are just tests to see how you think, if you think literally, you will never get any of them, but if you think absrtactly you will get ever single one of them within a few minutes. If you are a VERY intellegent and clever person, you will know them as you read them.

Then, there's me, who knew the answers while I read them...







Like I said, they are old, and I head them before!
