• How far can a dog run into the woods?

How big are the woods, how old is the dog, which breed (size and health/inbred defects)

Take the largest forest ever, say the size of pangea, full of "hungary" creatures, overmature dog in bad health and congenital defects.

As far as he can, assuming he wants/needs to go into the woods

Alternatives answers...

The Short Ones - solutions

• Why should a living man be buried?

Earthquakes and mad man have both been responsible.

• No, it is not legal to get married if you are dead.

Impossible to 'affirm' respond with I do!

• The bear is white since the house is built on the North Pole.

Fur is white Actually translucent and hollow hairs that appear white .All bears have black skin

• If you take 2 apples, than you have of course 2.

Faultless!

• The dog can run into the woods only to the half of the wood – than it would run out of the woods.

IF - large forest, weak dog, = as far as he can!

• The score before any hockey game should be 0:0, shouldn't it?

Do not some matches start with a points defecit as in Lost home game 4-5 is one goal difference, e.g. you need to win the return match 6-4 as 5-4 would be a draw! There are other combinations of course.

He could still no the starting score but the 0-0 start to ALL games does not apply

• A match, of course.

of course - or rub two boy scouts together!

• There are more Chinese men than Japanese men.

There are indeed!

• Normal – I wouldn't be very happy if I had all my fingers (10) on one hand.

Queen victoria had an abnormal amount of digits (though not so unusual in the family apparently)

If you have ten fingers then this will bea abnormal, Ten and two thumbs is nomal - Who has the better hand?

The short ones are fun, to give your brain a break. Got them all, but before I ready the clarification edit, on: "Why do Chinese men eat more rice than Japanese men?"

I answered, "Because the meat on Japanese men is too tough, and you can't fix THAT with a sprinkle of soy sauce."

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?

1. He's alive.

2. He's dead so its impossible.

3. Its in the North Pole so all windows are south. Its a white bear unless you wanna say its fur is clear or i think bears are born pink?

4. Ill have 2 apples if the other one is someone elses. If the 3 are mine to begin with ill have 3.

5. As far until he gets tired i gues. Or once he passes the imaginary halfway mark so hes running out. Or if you wanna read it a certain way, until the end of the forest. Sometimes wording makes the difference.

6. all games start 0-0

7. The match

8. There are more chinese than japanese men.

9. Normal.

Can you answer my question? How many cookies can you eat on an empty stomach?

My answer to this is that you can either eat no cookies or as many cookies as you like. The reason for the first answer is that if the stomach is empty, there are no cookies on it, and therefore you cannot eat any. The second answer assumes you are on the (otherwise) empty stomach, at which point, you can continue eating cookies until you don't want anymore.

Wait...for #1 he most certainly can be buried in Canada, just once he dies. I get where you meant to go with that one, but it makes sense as it is. It doesn't say he must be buried immediately.
