Ok, my turn. Some fun ones.

What runs around all day then lies under the bed with its tongue hanging out?

A shoe.

Or my dog.

@CrackedCrystal & KingWilly:
Yeah, I thought some people would answer "dog" for that one.

 

[CrackedCrystal]

I actually came across the answer cat on accident. I was tayping up a joke about it being CATO institute, because of the always around (an "o" is round) and once I typed CAT, it clicked.

There is a town in Texas where 5% of all the people living there have unlisted phone numbers. If you selected 100 names at random from the town's phone directory, on average, how many of these people would have unlisted phone numbers?

A horse is tied to a five meter rope, six meters away from it was a bail of hay. Without breaking the rope, the horse was able to get to the bail of hay. How is this possible?

I can overpower you without hurting you. What am I?

3) Grief or guilt?

 

[CrackedCrystal]

1) none, the phonebook is listed numbers.

Yeah, that happens to me too, sometimes. I usually try to think of all things associated with something, and then it sometimes just clicks. Like for the death one on the other page, I was walking to the bathroom and thinking of everything I could remember that has to do with cheating, and then it clicked, and it all made sense. Same with that letter "d" one.

@ crackedcrystal: Grief/guilt can hurt!
on the other one though.

 

[CrackedCrystal]

2) the other end of the rope was not tied to anything.

 

[DiamondzAndGunz]

crackedcrystal:
Just that other one now.

Any new thoughts on the train one?

 

[CrackedCrystal]

3) obsession or temptation?

That train one is stumping me.

 

[DiamondzAndGunz]

CrackedCrystal: Nope, once again. Seems as though we may have yet another one to add to the "not yet solved" list . Neither of em are too hard, if you really think about it.

 

[CrackedCrystal]

Well, after one quick run through the Off Topic, I am heading to bed for the night I think. I'll have to sleep on an answer. That is, if someone does not beat me to it

 

[DiamondzAndGunz]

If only you knew how close you got to the answer . I'm not sayin nuffin else .

 

[ubannoying]

Back to the train one:

I've been thinking about this one and have two guesses. First, you never say the trains are moving, only that they are coming from opposite directions. Thus they could be sitting on the tracks not moving at all and that would satisfy the requirements of the question.

My other guess has to do with time. Both trains passed the same spot at 8:00 (or some other time) one at 8:00 AM and one at 8:00 PM.

I think it is that they travelling in opposite directions AWAY from each other, eg one north and one south from a common origin.

Mr Allen was enjoying a steam bath in his sauna when he was killed. The police came to interview the maid. She said that after preparing dinner, she called for Mr Allen but recieved no answer. She went to the sauna and wiped the steam off the window and saw him lying on the floor. Quickly she knocked down the locked door to come to his aide but found he was already dead. She then ran to the phone and called the police.

After hearing her testomony, she was immediatly arrested. Why?

There are no windows in a sauna?

A guy said to his bestfriend: "If you can tell me the result of tonights match before it starts, I'll pay you a 100$".

The guy had to pay his Bestfriend 100$. How could that be?



This one should be quite easy but...Anyway
