Okay, here's one.

There's an island, one-acre in size, a swathe of desert in the middle of the sea. Despite its size, it has four kinds of people, all identical in appearance. One of the races always tell the truth, and another never do. Than there is another, who may or may not tell the truth, depending on whim. The last ones are incapable of speaking unless they have heard one of the other kinds of people speak, and then they obsequiously chime in. One day, as luck would have it, you find yourself at the only crossroads on the island, facing four possible routes. Three of the island's inhabitants stand by, milling about, and you have only two questions to ask in order to reach, as directly as possible, a fabled 100-foot tower, the island's only tourist attraction. What should you do?

You know I have no idea... :S I even tried to google it. XD

Scan the horizon. It's a tower somewhere on a one-acre desert island. Shouldn't be hard to spot!

Seriously, though, no idea :P

you will never find it without.

I agree with Rian.

Rian was right, actually.

Really? I was just playing! XD

Okay, here's one.

What's weightless, can be seen by the naked eye, and, if but into a barrel, will make the barrel lighter?

A hole, perhaps?

That's the one ^_^

Oh dear! These are all quite clever! lol... aaaaaand I am not...

...but I will use these again one day and have people think that I am indeed clever!

wait, Rian was really correct about the island thing?
