If someone were to say to you, "I bet you 1 dollar that if you give me 2 dollars, I will give you 3 dollars in return". Would this be a good bet for you to take? Explain your answer

 

Its the same because:

 

I give him 2 dollars (now i have -1) He gives me 3 dollars in return (now i have 2 dollars)

The dead body of Cecil Breath was found at the bottom of a cliff. He was clothed in heavy hiking boots, mitts, several light jackets, and thick woolen trousers. Sid Shady recounted, "I returned to the camp early to make dinner for the hunting party when I saw Cecil Breath and Twyla Light arguing. They had been dating for several years and frequently held heated discussions. I didnt want to make an intrude, so I hid behind a tree. Suddenly Cecil picked up a rock and delivered a fatal blow to Twyla's head. Just then Cecil saw me. He was so startled that he turned and ran. He obviously forgot about the cliff, and fell to his death." When the lab checked the rock that had supposedly killed Twyla, it found Cecil's fingerprints on it. The detective immediately ordered the arrest of Sid Shady. Why?

Because cecil was wearing mits. lol

A detective and other avid mountain climbers have paid a lot of money to be the first to scale a mountain. After several days of climbing, they finally reach the top. To their dismay, they discover and cabin and three frozen corpses. Since the climbers were the first people to ever reach the mountain's summit, how could this be possible?

 

 

Was it i graveyard?

------------------------------------------

On the one where you guessed if the glass was filled with air not water, I'll give it to you. The answer was that the glass was filled, just not with water. Your answer is close enough.

 

The second one is wrong.

A man working at a packaging company one day mixed up the addresses on four separate orders. He decided to apply the address labels at random. What is the probability that exactly three of the packages were correctly labeled?

 

Impossible

When Sandy was only six years old, she hammered a nail into her favourite tree to mark her height. Ten years later when she was sixteen, she returned to see how much higher the nail was. If the tree grew by five centimeters each year, how much higher would the nail be?

 

It wouldn't be any heigher because trees grow from their tops.

A man left home one morning. He turned right and ran straight ahead. Then he turned left. After awhile, he turned left again, running faster than ever. Then he turned left once more and decided to go home. In the distance he could see two masked men waiting for him. Who were the mysterious men?

 

That's impossible....

I finally figured it out.

 

It was the cabin of a plane that crashed into the mountain
