    There are six eggs in the basket. Six people each take one of the eggs. How can it be that one egg is left in the basket?

    IF you liked that, how about this:

    How could a baby fall out of a twenty-story building onto the ground and live?

    Thinking that the 2nd one would be the same as if the baby had fallen out of a 30 story building and survived. The height of the building doesn't matter, it's more a case of how far the baby fell - not far by the sound of it.

    Try this one:
    A basket contains 5 apples. Do you know how to divide them among 5 kids so that each one has an apple and one apple stays in the basket?
