Two coins add up to thirty cents and one of'em isn't a nickle. What are those two coins?

edit: insanekiwi's joke is hilarious!

They are a quarter and a nickle. You said 'one of them isn't a nickle', so that means that they can't BOTH be a nickle, but you're allowed to have ONE nickle.

OK. Here's a riddle.

You're the pilot of an airplane containing 150 passengers and 10 crew members. 100 of the passengers have brown eyes, the rest have blue eyes. 45 of those passengers with brown eyes are male, 55 are female. Of the 45 male passengers, 20 are under the age of 30, and 10 are over the age of 60. Of the 10 crew members, 5 have brown eyes and 5 have blue eyes. Of those with blue eyes, 3 are male and 2 are female. Of all the crew members, including the pilot, 7 of them are under the age of 60 and 2 of them are over the age of 60. How old is the pilot?

anohter answer to the 7 boys one

would be she had 3 boys and 3 girls and the seventh regardless of gender died.

maybe...but the wording says the woman "has" 7 kids...not "had"...which would infer that all kids are still alive..at least to me it does :)

Heres one that kept me thinking for a while:

A plane crashes EXACTLY on the border line betweem canada and the U.S., in which country do you bury the survivors?

Another:

Your locked inside a car, how do you get out?

Hehe, have fun...shouldnt be too hard.

ok, here's one i remember reading in a newspaper:

1) A man decided to give some roses to his daughter. Once arriving at her appartment, he took the lift to her 10th story room. Right after he reached the 7th story, the lift broke down, and the lights went off. Immediatly, the man knew his daughter was in grave danger. How come?

2) What always comes but never arrives?

um... shouldn't it be HIS daughter? or is that the answer? he knew that HER (i.e. his daughter's) daughter was in grave danger... maybe cos she was squashed by the lift when it broke down :p :ninja:

or... his daughter's daughter was lying in a hospital bed fighting for her life and that's why he was taking roses to his daughter :yes:

close yet? :huh:

He's daughter was in hospital, wired up and on life support and things and if the lift broke because the power went off, then her wires and things wont work because there is no power and she could die.
