I will post the answer in the thread below...so it doesnt spoil the answer for you if you want to figure it out... If you guys want more, I will post more...

A girl was having a dream where she was being chased by a lion. She ran around frantically until she found a tree that she could climb. She climbed as high as she could, out of reach of the lion, when she saw a snake above her. She couldn't go up and she couldn't go down. How did she escape?

Answer: *** yamadakun got it right! *** though I like Odin's answer


Divide $305 (in whole $ increments) into a number of bags so that I can ask for any amount between $1 and $305, and you can give me the proper amount by giving me a certain number of these bags without opening them. What is the minimum number of bags you will require?

Answer: ***AnonymouseUser got it right!***


How do you throw a ball as hard as you can and have it come back to you, even if it doesn't hit anything, there is nothing attached to it and no one else catches or throws it?

Answer: ***HN got it right!***

Make it hit 25000MPH after taking the earth's atmosphere away. It'll orbit the earth and take your head off.

Throw it straight up.

Throw it at your foot.

Correct!

You divide $305 (in whole $ increments) into 9 bags as follows:

1, 2, 4, 8, 16, ... , 128, 50.

The first 8 bags contain a total of $255 as per the following series:

20, 21, 22, 23, 24, ... , 27.

EDIT: Oh.

Doh, I started the answer correctly, but messed it up early with a 3 instead of 4. That threw the remainder of my answer off, but at least I got the number of bags correct. :)

Well either way...you got the number of bags correct. The question wanted to know easily the amount in each bag. So if they were incremented properly in that series, it would be easier for a user to pick out the bags...but good answer nonetheless

She went sideways.

That or the snake bit her and she died. Or maybe she fell and then died. Maybe she didn't escape at all. WHAT A HORRIBLE RIDDLE!

She's dreaming...so she can just fly off or pull out a rocket launcher and blow up the lion.
