1.
If you were to put a coin into an empty bottle and then insert a cork into the neck, how could you remove the coin without taking out the cork or breaking the bottle?

2.
My Gaye was standing in an empty room in which two very thin ropes were just far enough apart from each other that if My Gaye held one of them by its end and reached for the other it would still be a half metre beyond his reach.  Using only a knife, Mr Gaye was able to tie the ends of the two ropes together and still leave them attached to the ceiling. How?

3.
Ganon was driving his tractor-trailer under an overpass when suddenly he came to a screeching halt.  Ganon wasn't paying enough attention and inadvertently drove under the overpass that was just barely as high as his rig.  The trailer was wedged so tight that he could not go forward or backward.  Luckily for Ganon, Link was walking about cutting up bushes to find rupees when he saw the distressed Ganon in the area and came by.  He proposed a method of releasing the tractor-trailer out from under the bridge.  What did Link do.

4.
Hardy Piles had a water glass that was filled to the top.  Holding the glass above his head he let it drop to the carpet without spilling a single drop of water.  How could dee manage to drop the glass from a height of over six feet and not spill any water?

C'Mon last ones easy

These are all guesses...

1. You push the cork deep into the neck of the bottle, then put the coin on top of the cork. Just tip it over and the coin comes out.

2. He stabbed the knife into the bottom of his shoe and reached the rope with his leg.

3. Put a bomb under the cart.

4. It was attached to a string which was held in his hand.

Well I can give partial credit for number 1.  The answer being that it is possible by pushing the cork in to the bottle TOTALLY and then shake the coin out.

2. Incorrect the rope was over half metre away at full stretch.

3. Incorrect the rig was not destroyed and Link was out of bombs anyway.  P.S It's nothing to do with the game.

4.  Incorrect the glass fell to the carpet.

Keep em coming

After spending three minutes and getting high at the same time, I discovered I was a magical dragon, and then came up with these three guesses:

2. He took the knife and tied it to one end of one of the ropes and used it as a pendulum. Then he used the other rope at its full length, and tied the two ends together.  

3. Rodney Jason got this one anyway. I give him credit.

4. This one was tricky... so I got high with a glue stick and figured that the glass was filled, but not with water. ( u never said it was filled with water.)

Well you definately got numbers 2 & 4 full marks and rodney jason got number 3.

Damn i thought this would go on and on like Emuxs threads but maybe we're just getting too smart for all these "taxing" riddles which seem to be pretty simple to you guys.
