THE RIDDLER

#1 How can you put an egg that’s 5cm wide into a bottle with a mouth that’s only 2cm wide without using a flame and without damaging the bottle in any way?

#2 Using only addition, add eight 8s to get the number 1,000.

#3 A spider is given $40, a human is given $10 and a bee is given $30. Based on this information, how much money is given to a cat?

Answers:

#1 We didn’t mention the egg had to be intact, so poke holes in the egg and drain the contents into the bottle, then crumble up the egg shell and add it to the bottle too.

#2 888 + 88 + 8 + 8 + 8 = 1,000

#3 $20 ($5 per leg)
