    One day Kerry celebrated her birthday. One day later her older twin brother, Terry, celebrated his birthday. Why?
    kerry & terry were delivered (CS somehow) not at the same time.. lets say kerry at 11:59pm while terry at 12:02am.. twins with different birth dates..

    A man died and went to Heaven. There were thousands of other people there. They were all naked and all looked as they died at the age of 21. He looked around to see if there was anyone he recognized. He saw a couple and he knew immediately that they were Adam and Eve. How did he know?
    belly buttons?...

    Manhole Covers. Why is it better to have round manhole covers than square ones? [NOTE: This is logical rather than lateral, but it is a good puzzle which can be solved by lateral thinking techniques. It is supposedly used by a very well-known software company as an interview question for prospective employees]
    round/circle is used so that there is no possibility of the cover to fall inside the hole.. (bangaa mo-eninglis gyud oi.!! )

    Ans: Aside from the abovementioned reason, which is the most logical one, another point to consider is transporting the manhole cover.. Manhole covers are made of iron which is weighty.. Hence, manhole covers have a round shape for easy transport since you can roll 'em..ú

    this is close to the correct answer

    or navels. He recognized Adam and Eve as the only people without navels. Because they were not born of women, they had never had umbilical cords, and therefore they never had navels.

    both are right. A square manhole cover can be turned and dropped down the diagonal of the manhole. A round manhole cannot be dropped down the manhole. So for safety and practicality, all manhole covers should be round.

    this one is too broad.. there are a lot of things you can hold without using your hand. i agree with sir gaRn, breath could be the correct answer

    Sally promised Kate today that she will tell Kate a big secret on the day before four days from the day after tomorrow. If today is Saturday the 13th, on what day and date will Sally tell Kate her big secret?
    Two men were being tried for murder. The jury found one man guilty and the other innocent. The judge turned to the guilty man and said, "Even though your guilt has been established, the law compels me to set you free." How could such a bizarre judgment occur?
    A boat is at anchor. Over the side hangs a rope ladder with rungs a foot apart. The tide rises at a rate of 10 inches per hour. At the end of six hours, how much of the rope ladder will remain above water, assuming that 10 feet were above the water when the tide began to rise?
