Correct

For anyone that didn't understand the answer it was

grandfather, father and son that were playing-which makes 2 fathers and 2 sons

I looked at the question and decided on 2 3 or 4 which shows how incomplete the question was. I don't think there are any other right answers though.

It reminds me of a rather more complete question which has a tough answer - where can you stand and walk a mile south, a mile east and a mile north and arrive back where you started? I'm still not sure I know the full answer to that one.

The north pole - whether the geographic or the magnetic depends on your method of measurement.

You'd take your definition of "pole" and stick to it. Okay, you found one, now keep thinking.

Wherever you start from, if your start point also moves a mile east.

Chookie, that's the oddest avatar I've ever seen - is it really two hippos wallow-humping in the moonlight or do I just have a vivid imagination?

The easy way to know where you started is to put your sandwich down on a rock before you leave.

Haven't a clue - it's one of those which Sin was good enough to provide for us lazy sods in order that the coven can't find us.

Here's one:

A man lays dead in the snow, no footprints lead to or from him, and it has not snowed since he was there. In his backpack is the thing that led to his death. What is in his backpack?

Ok, a man in a black car drives along a black road, through a town painted completely black. A black cat walks into the path of the car, but the man manages to swerve in time to avoid the cat. How did he know it was there?

A man was found murdered on Sunday morning. His wife immediately called the police. The police questioned the wife and staff and got these alibis:

The Wife said she was sleeping.

The Cook was cooking breakfast.

The Gardener was picking vegetables.

The Maid was getting the mail.

The Butler was cleaning the closet.

The police instantly arrested the murdered. Who did it and how did they know?

As I was going to St. Ives,

I met a man with seven wives.

Each wife had seven sacks,

every sack had seven cats, and

every cat had seven kittens.

How many were going to St. Ives.

There is a mute person who wants to buy a toothbrush. By imitating the action of brushing one's teeth he successfully expresses himself to the shopkeeper and the purchase is done. Now if there is a blind man who wishes to buy a pair of sunglasses, how should he express himself?

A man has to take a knight, princess and theif across a moat to a castle with no bridge. The boat can only fit 2 peole. How can the man take them across?

RULES:

1. The Knight and Theif cant be left. Cause' he will kill the theif.

2. The theif cant be left with the princess. He would rob her.

3. If the theif was killed now with the princess looking, she would not accept that.

Take the Princess across, go back and collect the Knight, take him over then go back for the thief's body.

You did not say they all had to be alive.
