Here's my favorite:
3) There are three books on a shelf. the front cover of each book is 1/2 inch. the back cover of each book is also 1/2 inch. the paper between total 1 inch in each book. A bookworm is eating its way through the books. If the bookworm begins from the front page of book #1 and eats through until the back page of book #3, how many inches has the bookworm ate through?

I think the answer to #7 is none of the above. It 's somewhere between 7-gazillion.

They each have the same person as their brother. My 4 sisters each have 1 brother, me. As an example.

1. 1113213211 After the first line, each line describes the previous line:
One One
Two Ones
One Two, One One
(and so on...)
2. He said, "You'll sentence me to six years in prison." If it was true, then the judge would have to make it false by sentencing him to four years. If it was false, then he would have to give him six years, which would make it true. Rather than contradict his own word, the judge set the man free.
3. Fill the 3-gallon container with oil and pour it into the 5-gallon container. Then fill the 3-gallon container again and use it to fill the 5-gallon container the rest of the way. One gallon will be left in the 3-gallon container.
4. Five. There are only four colors, so five socks guarantee that two will be the same color.
5. Silence.
6. It's part of his job - he's a justice of the peace.
7. Seven. The four daughters have only one brother, making five children, plus mom and dad.
8. Queue.
9. A lie. It can't be the truth without contradicting itself (and therefore being a lie), but some of my statements can be lies, and this is one of those statements.
10. Her autobiography.
11. She was a hurricane.
12. You can't use curlers to take photos! You need a camera.
13. You have just one - the one you took away.
14. A river.
15. There are eleven letters in "the alphabet."
16. A towel.
17. A stamp.
18. Fire.
19. The word "wholesome."
20. Bacon.
21. When you're a mouse.
22. Just one - after that it won't be empty.
