That last one is a really clever one. Well done BMH, I would never have got that if I'd looked at it for the rest of my life!

How about this one:

We throw away the outside and cook the inside then eat the outside and throw away the inside. What is it?

Chicken - or corn (when cooked on the cob, unless you're roasting husk-on).

A match?
If that's right, here's a new one:
A basket contains 5 apples. Do you know how to divide them among 5 kids so that each one has an apple and one apple stays in the basket?

Give 4 kids an apple, and give the fifth kid the final apple IN the basket~
New one...
This is a most unusual paragraph. 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? Study it, think about it, and you may find out. Try to do it without coaching. If you work at it for a bit it will dawn on you. So jump to it and try your skill at figuring it out. Good luck - don't blow your cool!
