You are in a concrete room. There is a steel pipe 25 cm in length cemented in the centre of the concrete floor. The pipe protrudes 15 cm. A ping-pong ball is dropped down the pipe. There is only a fraction of a centimetre clearance between the ball and the pipe. Your task is to get the ball out of the steel pipe undamaged. The only items that are available are a wooden ruler, a ball of string, a pocket mirror, a paper clip and a small magnet. Since nothing else is allowed in the room, how could you get the plastic ping-pong ball out of the steel pipe?

P*ss in it?

A tortoise has lost its shell.

Two men walk into a bar, both served a drink that is poisoned, one skolls his and one sips his. The one who skolls the drink gets up and walks away and lives a long life, the one who sips the drink falls off his stool and dies.

The poison is in the ice, the one who skolled his didn't give the ice a chance to melt?

An electric train is travelling at 100 kmh due north, the wind is blowing at 100kmh due south.
Which way does the smoke go?
