Ohh.. I have one that #3 reminded me of. There was a man trapped in a cabin way out in the woods. There are no doors, no windows, no conventional means of escape, but there is a table in the room. How did the man get into town? Another: You're lost in the woods, it's getting late, and a storm's blowing in. As you start to panic, you stumble into a clearing and see a little log cabin. Relieved, you run for its shelter. Inside you see a match, a candle and a fire. Which do you light first?

First one: Its not anything like that old one of "cut the table in half, bring the halves together, two halves make a "hole," climb out the "hole" is it? As for the second one, I assume you light the match first? I feel like theres more to it though....

If there's a fire, do you really have to light anything? o.O

13. And I think you should light the candle with the fire. Obviously the fire is already lit so it's a trick question.

Then shout 'til you're hoarse, climb on the horse and ride away. Terribly lame I know, but that one amused me for hours when I was a kid. Also to cut the table you have to bang your head on the table 'til it's sore, then use the saw to cut the table in half. Chelsea- exactly. Ben- yep. The fire's already lit.
