XQQME
4) dominoes
OdOoOmO
5) The good, the bad, and the ugly

7) 15, 5 per syllable
If Susan is 10, Arabella is 20, and Jim and Neal are both 5, but Richard is 10, how much is Jennifer by the same system?
8) They were triplets! (Or quadruplets, sestuplets, whatever)
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 (identical nor paternal). How could this be so? (Note: she is the biological mother of both.)
9) If the wife is his widow, then he\'s dead, can\'t marry a dead man.
Is it legal for a man in California to marry his widow\'s sister?
Why or why not?
10) 1:45, 10+15=25, a quarter. He gave "a quarter to two."
A man gave one son 10 cents and another son was given 15 cents.
What time is it? (This one is cruel.)
11) There is no instance of the letter "e," the most common letter in the English language.
How quickly can you find out what is unusual about this paragraph? It looks so ordinary that you would think that nothing was wrong with it at all and, in fact, nothing is. But it is unusual. Why? If you study it and think about it you may find out, but I am not going to assist you in any way. You must do it without coaching. No doubt, if you work at it for long, it will dawn on you. Who knows? Go to work and try your skill. Par is about half an hour.
12) Lock the box, mail it. Then they put their own lock and mail it back. Remove your lock, mail it back. Theyu take of their lock, and open the box!
You want to send a valuable object to a friend. You have a box which is more than large enough to contain the object. You have several locks with keys. The box has a locking ring which is more than large enough to have a lock attached. But your friend does not have the key to any lock that you have. Note that you cannot send a key in an unlocked box, since it might be copied. How is this done? (Update note: try to solve this one without the use of a combinatin lock.)
13) Not one person on the bus was SINGLE, they were all married!
My brother, the local bus driver, was telling me that recently he was driving a bus full of people and nobody got off on the way. However, at the end of the journey, there was not a single person left on the bus. How? (Update Note: "nobody got off". . .EVER!)
