Twelve flags stand equidistant along the track at the stadium. The runners start at the first flag. A runner reaches the eighth flag 8 seconds after he starts. If he runs at an even speed, how many seconds does he need altogether to reach the twelfth flag?
There are seven distances from the first flag tot the eighth, and 11 from the first to the twelfth. He runs each distance in 8/7 seconds; therefore, 11 distances take
88/7= 12 4/7 seconds.

You've got a sack of corn, a chicken, and a fox. You have to cross a river, but you can only carry them one at a time. If you leave the chicken with the sack of corn, the chicken will eat the corn. If you leave the fox alone with the chicken, the fox will eat the bird.
How can you get all three things across the river safely?
Cross the river with the chicken, then go back and carry the corn over the river. However, instead of leaving the corn with the bird, return together with the chicken. Cross the river for the third time with the fox, leaving the chicken behind. Leave the fox with the sack of corn, and return for the last time to get the chicken. Done!

A young boy went to a Catholic school. During school, he started goofing around, so the teacher called him out and sent him to the Pastor. Since this was a traditional school the boy would be spanked, but the Pastor believed in giving people a chance.
He said, "If you can ask me a question about something you learned and I don't know the answer on the spot you will go free."
The boy may have been lazy, but he was very witty. He asked, "What is it that you can see and I can see, usually every day, but God cannot see." The Pastor stood there, stumped. He couldn't figure it out because he strongly believed that God sees and knows all, and that there is only one God. The boy smiled and told him.
