Okay I will start with some RIDDLES.

1.A horse is tied to a 15 ft. rope and there is a bail of hay 25 ft. away from him. Yet the horse is able to eat from the bail of hay. How is this possible

2.The one who makes it sells it.The one who buys it doesn't use it.The one who's using it doesn't know he's using it.What is it

3.The paragraph below is most unusual. How quickly can you find out what is so unusual about it? It looks so ordinary you'd think nothing was wrong with it - and in fact, nothing is wrong with it. It is unusual though. Why?
"Gatsby was walking back from a visit down in Branton Hill's manufacturing district on a Saturday night. A busy day's traffic had had its noisy run; and with not many folks in sight, His Honor got along without having to stop to grasp a hand, or talk; for a mayor out of City Hall is a shining mark for any politician. And so, coming to Broadway, a booming bass drum and sounds of singing, told of a small Salvation Army unit carrying on amidst Broadway's night shopping crowds. Gatsby, walking towards that group, saw a young girl, back toward him, just finishing a long, soulful oration ... " The above passage is taken from the book "Gatsby" written by Ernest Vincent Wright in the late 1930's

I will post the answers later.

#1 Or, the horse IS tied to a pole, but the horse has extended the rope fully. Put the hay directly opposite the horse 25 feet away. The horse walks 15 feet to the pole, then an additional 10 feet to the hay, and still has 5 feet of rope left!
