"Only the clever minded will get this..."

I will post the answer at 6pm, and I will give you another one to get your teeth into.

Okay, here goes…

An elderly man woke up one morning and was about to have a shave. He picked up the razor and started shaving his beard while looking at the mirror. The man then put his glasses on only to see that he had an even bigger beard but not grey like it was before and he didn’t have glasses on anymore.

What has happened here?

Good luck!

yep you need 10 matches to make 3 squares or 12 matches to make 3 separated squares.

Okay, here's another one.

A guy in a mask fires his gun at a bank clerk. The clerk doesn't die. Why?

Answer announced at quarter past five.

How about 0.5 (half) if you take half from half you get

Or 0 ... half of 0 is 0


Very clever. You're right, but that isn't what I ment

*EXPLANATION*

The number eight is made up of two circles. 8
0
0

Cut it in half and you get two separate circles. The number zero, naught or whatever you call it is a circle basicly, so
you half 8 to get naught.

Understand now?

From which number do you take half to get naught?

Half of what?

No I'm not.
It may not be your answer, but you can make the letter 3 with 5 matches.

One across the top, one down the side, another halfway out, another going down and another for the bottom
