More Brain Teasers

I keep running out of things to write about, so I guess I'll just start doing more brain teasers. Every time I do more brain teasers I'll put the answers to the last teasers too.

ANSWERS

1. You would be Jason's son.

2. Luckily for the dog, it was daylight.

3. The match.

4.The professor was driving a motorcycle.

5. The word ton.


Now for today's brain teasers. :-)

1. Two train tracks run parallel to each other, except for a short distance where they meet and become one track over a narrow bridge. One morning, a train speeds onto the bridge. Another train coming from the opposite direction also speeds onto the bridge. Neither train can stop on the short bridge, yet there is no collision. How is this possible?

2.There are two plastic jugs filled with water. How could you put all of this water into a barrel, without using the jugs or any dividers, and still tell which water came from which jug?

3.Before Mount Everest was discovered, what was the highest mountain on earth?

4.A young peasant wanted to marry the king's daughter. The king didn't like the idea of his daughter marrying a peasant, but he wanted to appear fair in front of his subjects. The king said that he would put two pieces of paper into a hat, one reading exile and the other reading marriage. Later that day, the peasant overheard the king both pieces of paper would read exile, thus ensuring that the peasant would be out of his way for good. The peasant remained undaunted and, as arranged, arrived at the king's court where a large crowd gathered for the big event, The peasant then did something that assured him the hand of the king's daughter. What did he do?

5. What five letter word does every Harvard graduate pronounce wrong?

Hope you have fun trying to figure these ones out! ;-)
