...and I am stupid bored right now.

So -

you have a bag of corn, a chicken, and a dog. you must cross a river and get them all across, however - you can only carry one at a time. To make matters worse, you cannot leave the chicken with the corn, because it will eat it and you cannot leave the dog with the chicken for the same reason. How do you do it?

    You take the chicken across
    come back
    take the dog across
    bring the chicken back
    take the corn across
    come back
    take the chicken across.

    You are in a dark room with a candle, a lamp, a fireplace, a match and a stove. What do you light first?

    ok, calling first side west, other side east, with river in the middle

    take the chicken from the west to east
    go back west alone
    take the corn to the east side
    take the chicken back to the west side
    leave the chicken on the west side and take the dog to the east side to wait with the corn
    go back to west side alone and get the chicken
    then go back east, and everyone is across :)

    you take the chicken over by itself.

    then you go back and get the feed, leaving the chicken.

    leave the feed over, get the chicken and take him back across, leave him there.

    get the dog and take him over, leaving him with the feed.

    go back alone and get the chicken and bring him over.

    i did this in 5th grade lol

    Tie the corn to the dog, and have him cross, then take the chicken and go across.

    Cross the river with the chicken first. Leave it on the other side. Go back. Pick up the dog. When you get to the other side, drop off the dog and grab the chicken. Return to the starting point with chicken in hand. Drop the chicken off and grab the corn. Take the corn across and leave it with the dog. Go back and grab the chicken for it's final trip across the river.

    Or, fry the chicken, cook the corn, and find something else for the dog to play with.

    Kill the chicken, pluck it, roast it, and serve it with the corn. Then take your dinner, along with your dog, across the river (make two trips if you're afraid of dropping something). Eat your fill, then head off into the sunset with the dog. That's how I'd do it, anyway.

    A man is trapped in a room. The room has only two possible exits: two doors. Through the first door there is a room constructed from magnifying glass. The blazing hot sun instantly fries anything or anyone that enters.
    Through the second door there is a fire-breathing dragon. How does the man escape?

    he opens the door with the dragon behind it, while the man himself hides behind the door...and the dragon`s fire breath burns the door off of the magnifying glass, and while the dragon inhales for his next breath the magnifying glass fries the dragon, the dragon combusts...and then the guy marches out the door and over the body of the deceased dragon!

    Wait until night and go out the first door. Thank you for playing!

    Next -

    A man was found murdered on Sunday morning. His wife immediately called the police. The police questioned the wife and staff and got these alibis:
    The Wife said she was sleeping.
    The Cook was cooking breakfast.
    The Gardener was picking vegetables.
    The Maid was getting the mail.
    The Butler was cleaning the closet.

    The police instantly arrested the murdered. Who did it and how did they know?
