blade (23/05/2008) A 30 year old man married a 25 year old woman. She died at age 50 and her husband was so devastated that he cried for years. Ten years after he stopped crying, he died. If he had lived to be 80, how many years was he a widower? OK try this one…

25 yrs (in about 30 seconds, via the method: he’s 5 yrs older than her; she dies at 50 (so he’s 55); he dies at 80; 80 minus 55 is 25yrs)
blade (23/05/2008) Two mothers and two daughters were fishing. They managed to catch one big fish, one small fish, and one fat fish. Since only three fish were caught, how is it possible that they each took home a fish?
One man and two women were fishing. The women were both mothers and daughters. The man was neither (but the Q doesn’t say ONLY 2 mothers and 2 daughters). 3 people, 3 fish. Is that OK for an answer?
