there are 5 apples in a basket. and you have 5 kids, How would you divide them so that each kid gets one but only one apple stays in the basket.

Block of ice is right! While exploring the wild highlands of Scotland, Crazy Rob was captured by hostile wood fairies. Smazze, the powerful chief of the fairies told him he could make one final statement which would determine how he would die. If the statement he made was false, he would be boiled in water. If the statement were true, he would be fried in oil. Crazy Rob found neither of this options too his liking, so he made a statement that got him out of this seemingly impossible situation. What is the one statement he could make to save himself? Vfanek

Well, either 'This statement is false', or 'You are going to boil me in water'.

WW2_freak

Eat all the apples but plant the seeds then refill the basket with six apples, give one to each kid and one is left

You both got it. Youre going to boil me in water left the fairies in an impossible situation. They had to let him go! Two convicts are locked in a cell. There is an unbarred window high up in the cell. No matter if they stand on the bed or one on top of the other they can't reach the window to escape. They then decide to tunnel out. However, they give up with the tunnelling because it will take too long. Finally one of the convicts figures out how to escape from the cell. What is his plan? Vfanek

Use the ladder by the window to escape

Give 4 of the kids apples, and make the last kid eat the apple out of the basket.

assume shes underwater, and btw how would she get up then if she wasint in water?

also "when does she reach the surface" implies her being underwater

"when does she reach the surface" could assume that she is underground, like in a mine. But aside from that, there are many answers to this question.

One could be an underwater air-pocket, another could assume she wasn't diving at all, but in a submarine. Too many answers, I'm going to leave this question alone.

You're trapped in a room with no windows or doors. All that's in the room is a mirror and a table. How do you get out?
