If you already know m keep m to yourself ofcourse, if you've got good new ones post m here.


1)
You are wearing a blindfold and thick gloves. An infinite number of quarters are laid out before you on a table of infinite area. Someone tells you that 20 of these quarters are tails and the rest are heads. He says that if you can split the quarters into 2 piles where the number of tails quarters is the same in both piles, then you win all of the quarters. You are allowed to move the quarters and to flip them over, but you can never tell what state a quarter is currently in (the blindfold prevents you from seeing, and the gloves prevent you from feeling which side is heads or tails). How do you partition the quarters so that you can win them all?

2)
An Arab sheikh is old and must will his fortune to one of his two sons. He makes a proposition. His two sons will ride their camels in a race, and whichever camel crosses the finish line last will win the fortune for its owner. During the race, the two brothers wander aimlessly for days, neither willing to cross the finish line. In desperation, they ask a wise man for advice. He tells them something; then the brothers leap onto the camels and charge toward the finish line. What did the wise man say?

3)
You are an archaeologist that has just unearthed a long-sought triplet of ancient treasure chests. One chest is plated with silver, one with gold, and one with bronze. According to legend, one of the three chests is filled with great treasure, whereas the other two chests both house man-eating pythons that can rip your head off. Faced with a dilemma, you then notice that there are inscriptions on the chests:

Silver Chest: Treasure is in this Chest.

Gold Chest: Treasure not in this Chest.

Bronze Chest: Treasure is not in the Gold Chest.

You know that at least one of the inscriptions is true, and at least one of the inscriptions is false. Which chest do you open?

4)
"An evil king wishes to kill his general because he thinks smarter than the king himself. He cannot just kill him because then his empire will rebel against him; he must create an excuse to kill him. He knows he cannot prove anything in front of a jury, so he decides to give him an impossible riddle to answer right before his execution. The king goes up to his house, kidnaps him, and throws him in prison garments with no possessions.
The next day, they are on a stage where everyone can see both the king, the general, and the two bags that the king is holding. The king says:
"In my hands, i am holding two bags. One has a black stone and the other has a white stone. If you choose the one with the black stone, you will die. If you choose one with the white stone, i will let you live."
The general knows that this is a rigged trick; both of the bags have black stones in them.
The general takes a stone out of the bag and walks away with his life.

How does he do it?"
5)
A man lives on the 30th floor of an apartment building. Everyday when he returns home from work, he takes the elevator. If he is with another person, then he goes straight to the 30th floor and to his apartment building. If he is by himself, he goes to the 28th floor and walks up the last two flights of stairs to his apartment. Why?
