This riddle is from The Transporter 2. If you haven't seen it, its not that good (IMO). Certainly not as good as the first movie. More fight scenes, more stunts - both very good, but on the whole very unconnected and poor editing.

First clue:

I'm white, I'm round but I'm not always around.

Second clue:

Sometimes I'm half, sometimes I'm whole, sometimes a slice of me is all you'll know.

Third clue:

Sometimes I'm light, sometimes I'm dark, sometimes I'm both.

Everyone knows that 1 cent can be written as $0.01

And that 10 cents can be written as $0.10

If you square a tenth of a dollar it equals a cent:

($0.10)^2 = $0.01

Yet if you square 10 cents you get a dollar:

(10c)^2 = 100c

But this is contradictory? Explain why.

A brain cruncher:

A committee consisting of 3 men and 4 women is to be chosen from a group of 7 men and 9 women. In how many ways can this be done?

An independent observer is investigating a sexual discrimination claim at a university. The claim is that the university favours men when hiring new staff. The most recent positions were in the Science and Business faculties. Five women applied for Science positions and one was successful (20%) and eight men applied and two were hired (25%). Eight women applied for Business positions and six were hired (75%) and five men applied and four were hired (80%).

 

Clearly in both faculties men had a higher success rate. Yet, the university replied by noting that out of the 13 women who applied for jobs in these faculties, seven were successful (54%) and out of the 13 men who applied for jobs, only six were successful (46%).

 

How can it be that both faculties favour men, but women were more favoured overall?

Four bugs, the Green, the Yellow, the Red, and the Blue occupy the corners of a square. The side of the square is 10cm long. Simultaneously the Green bug starts to crawl directly toward the Yellow one, the Yellow toward the Red, the Red toward the Blue and the Blue toward the Green.

Since all four bugs crawl at the same constant rate, they will describe four congruent logarithmic spirals which meet at the center of the square.

Thus the question is: how far does each bug travel before they meet?

It is a lovely fall afternoon on Saturday, November 17, in the Montgomery house. Detective Robenson and Detective Mayberry were discussing the murder of fourteen-year-old Elizabeth Montgomery.

"So, who found her; her mother?“ asked Detective Mayberry.
   
"She was found by her twin brother, Jack Montgomery,” said Detective Robenson, “He was also the one to call the police."
  
“Well, let’s go talk to the suspects. How many do we have anyway?“ asked Detective Mayberry.
   
“We only have three: her twin brother Jack, her mother and the next door neighbor, Mr. Mayonet,” stated Detective Robenson, as they stepped into the living room where the three suspects were.
  
“Okay, we would like to ask you a few questions. Mr. Mayonet, where were you around 4:00 this afternoon?” questioned Detective Robenson.
   
“I was driving back from my annul fishing trip,” Mr. Mayonet answered.
    
“Are you aware a gun belonging to you was used to kill Elizabeth Montgomery?” asked Detective Robenson, while Detective Mayberry held up a plastic crime scene bag with the gun inside, ”Is this your gun, Mr. Mayonet?
  
“Yes, but I lent that gun to Mrs. Montgomery two weeks ago, after her house was robbed,” explained Mr. Mayonet.

“Is that true, Mrs. Montgomery?” asked Detective Robenson.

“Yes, but I keep kept gun locked up in the safe in my room. Only Elizabeth, Jack and I have the combo,” explained Mrs. Montgomery.

“Where were you, Jack, at the time of your sister’s murder?” asked Detective Robenson.

“I was in my room doing homework when I heard Liz scream. I ran down the stairs and found her,” Jack said.

“Okay, so where were you at the time of the murder, Mrs. Montgomery?” asked Detective Robenson.

“I was at the Jewish Kosher Deli down the street, where I always buy my groceries,” said Mrs. Montgomery, “When I came home she was there on the floor and Jack was sitting on the step waiting for you to show up with the phone in his hand.”

A few minutes later the detectives came back into the room. “Okay, you’ll have to come with us, because you are being charged with the murder of Elizabeth Montgomery,” said Detective Robenson.
