    You need exactly four gallons of water, yet you only have two buckets: one five gallons and the other seven. How do you measure out four?

    Fill five gallon bucket. Pour water from five gallon bucket into three gallon bucket until three gallon bucket is full. This leaves two gallons in the five gallon bucket. Empty three gallon bucket. Pour the two gallons from the five into the three gallon bucket. Fill five gallon bucket. Use water from five gallon bucket to fill the remaining gallon of space in the three gallon bucket. now u got four gallons.

    :lol::lol::lol:

    A man has a wolf, a goat, and a cabbage. He must cross a river with the two animals and the cabbage. There is a small rowing-boat, in which he can take only one thing with him at a time. If, however, the wolf and the goat are left alone, the wolf will eat the goat. If the goat and the cabbage are left alone, the goat will eat the cabbage.

    The Question: How can the man get across the river with the two animals and the cabbage?

    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.

    The Question: After how many days will half of the pool be covered by the water-lily?

    First take the goat across, leaving behind the wolf and the cabbage.
    Then return to take the wolf.
    Then leave the wolf on the other side and carry back the goat.
    Then leave the goat behind and take the cabbage across, leave it with the wolf.
    Then return to take the goat again.:lol:

    Suppose there are twin brothers; one which always tells the truth and one which always lies. What single yes/no question could you ask to either brother to figure out which one is which?
