The Short Ones - Back to the Logic Puzzles
• Why can't a man living in the USA be buried in Canada?
• Is it legal for a man in California to marry his widow's sister? Why?
• A man builds a house rectangular in shape. All sides have southern exposure. A big bear walks by, what color is the bear? Why? (similar to the Bear riddle in the section Einstein's Riddles)
• If there are 3 apples and you take away 2, how many do you have?
• How far can a dog run into the woods?
• One big hockey fan claimed to be able to say the score before any game. How did he do it?
• You can start a fire if you have alcohol, petrol, kerosene, paper, candle, coke, a full matchbox and a piece of cotton wool. What is the first thing you light?
• Why do Chinese men eat more rice than Japanese men? (Edit: Why do Chinese men eat more rice than Japanese men do?)
• What word describes a woman who does not have all her fingers on one hand?

Spoiler for Solution:

The Short Ones - solutions
• Why should a living man be buried?
• No, it is not legal to get married if you are dead.
• The bear is white since the house is built on the North Pole.
• If you take 2 apples, than you have of course 2.
• The dog can run into the woods only to the half of the wood – than it would run out of the woods.
• The score before any hockey game should be 0:0, shouldn’t it?
• A match, of course.
• There are more Chinese men than Japanese men.
• Normal – I wouldn’t be very happy if I had all my fingers (10) on one hand.

really nice and out of box thinking is needed to answer this.

I got about 3 quarters of them right, but Im used to them. Out-of-the-box is right.

I think it is because Chinese men don't eat Japanese men. They way the sentence is worded sounds like Chinese people eat both rice and Japanese men. It's a misplaced modifier or something.

I had this thought as well, I think it's a funnier (and perfectly valid) answer than the one given
