Ok we have the what am I thread going how about soem brainteasers.

Same as before who ever guesses it right then asks the next brain teaser.

Ill start you off with a simple one

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?

"sorry i can not operate on this boy as he is my son"!

so u have to use ur imagination, as its meant for kids, so dont get all technical over it like my dh did!

so some explorers were going through the jungle and entered a cave. In the cave were 2 perfectly preserved bodies (dont ask me why or how). When they looked at these bodies they discovered they were the first ever humans on earth as there was something very special about them.
How did the explorers know they had found adam & eve

A guess, I think. If I'd consciously known it I'd not have answered.

Ok........

How can you throw a ball as hard as you can and have it come back to you, even if it doesn't bounce off anything? There is nothing attached to it, and no one else catches or throws it back to you.

Heres one to keep you going, slightly harder than the others ive posted

There are three switches downstairs. Each corresponds to one of the three light bulbs in the attic. You can turn the switches on and off and leave them in any position.
How would you identify which switch corresponds to which light bulb, if you are only allowed one trip upstairs?

I think your right.

Leave one on for 5 mins then switch off. Put next one on and go up to attic.

The warm one is the first switch. The on one is the second switch and the off one is the last switch.

Four legs have I, a sturdy fellow
A fuzzy back that isn't yellow
But (often) green or (rarely) red
A den is where I make my bed
My keepers feed me coloured balls
With sticks they store on my den walls
Sometimes I store them in my pouch
Sometimes deep in my belly; ouch!
That's when you'll see me acting strange
Instead of balls, I'll eat your change
And that's my cue to feed again
Chalk it up to hunger, friend!
