"If there are three apples, and you take two away, how many apples do you have?"

I guess 3 apples left because you're the one who took two away and you had 3 to begin with. Is that right?

A cowboy rode in on Friday, stayed two nights at the local inn, and rode out of town on that very same Friday! How did he accomplish this feat?"

A farmer and his hired help were carrying grain to the barn. The farmer carried one sack of grain and the hired help carried two sacks. Who carried the heavier load and why?

What is the difference between a dollar and a half and thirty five-cents?

What is the difference between a dollar and a half and thirty five-cents?

Nothing. A dollar and a half is the same as thirty five-cents (nickels). But not the same as thirty-five cents.

here's another:

A murderer is condemned to death. He has to choose between three rooms. The first is full of raging fires, the second is full of assassins with loaded guns, and the third is full of lions that haven't eaten in 3 years. Which room is safest for him?

HA! IF the lions haven't eaten in 3 years, they'd be dead!

I don't get the dollar and a half one still.
