I am the champion

A middle-aged brother and sister were host and hostess at a party. A youth pointed to them and told someone that the host was his uncle. ?I think your aunt is a charming person.? Said the other. ?That?s not my aunt.? Said the young man. How come?

The border between Canada and the United States consists mainly of the 49th Parallel. If a Canadian airliner were to crash exactly on the parallel, in which country would the survivors be buried?

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 do you do it?

Wow, 37 posts per day, I am sure you have many useful posts too.
wow, a crack at my PPD - now it's obvious you're a champion of originality!!

🙂 just kidding around with you man, take it easy :shocked:
 
1. She's his mom

2. Survivors wouldn't be buried

3. Put the object into the box, lock it with one of my locks, send the box to the friend. The friend can lock it with one of his own locks and return it. When it comes back take off my lock and send it back. The friend can unlock his own lock and open the box.

Well number one is not that hard....it is the brother from one family and a sister from another.

Number three is also more simple then the explination given....The person you are sending it to sends you their lock first. You then lock the box and send it to them.

1. His answer is just as good and I think more satisfying

3. Lock could close in the mail making it a bad idea 😉

Well I guess but too much thought into it really, they were pretty easy.

 
Try this one out, I actually thought it was pretty easy also but wait until you see the answer given.

A silly one! There is a drain-pipe lying in the road. It is fifteen feet long. A squirrel pokes its head in at one end and then runs around and pokes its head in at the other end. If this takes six seconds and it doubles in speed each trip, how many trips will it have to make before it is poking its head into each end of the drainpipe at the same time?

Not possible unless the little rodent can travel at the speed of light.
