The BFG have me this idea.
I have a lateral thinking puzzle book here right beside me, waiting to be opened. Will you dare to take the book on?
Here we go. I'll choose THREE puzzles from the book to start off with. You game?
A) What do you put on the table, cut and then pass around, but never actually eat?
B) I'm inside, halfway up a building that has no windows or balconies, yet I've got an incredible view of the city around me. What sort of building am I in?
C) I had to meet an Australian, an American and a South African at the airport. One of them was called Bruce, and I identified him immediately, despite never having met any of them before. How?
Well, no doubt I've strained your brains with these little beauties. Work hard. The answers will be announced at 6:00, just the same as the BFG's.
Whoever answers the puzzles correctly gets a good pat on the back. And hopefully there will be 'Knowabales' or something...

heres some more:
1) what happens once every minute, twice every moment but never in a thousand years?
2) imagine a ship at anchor, over the side hangs a rope ladder with rungs 1 foot apart, six of the rungs are above the surface of the water, if the tide rises 3 feet how many rungs will be above the water?

He had night vision goggles.

There was a trail of fireflies leading strangely to his car at night.

He used a candle. Fire isn't artificial light.

He remembered exactly where it was and used his noggin.

It was daytime. Nowhere does it say it was night.

Someone's probably answered this before but:
A) What do you put on the table, cut and then pass around, but never actually eat?
A deck of cards. Easy that one.
B) I'm inside, halfway up a building that has no windows or balconies, yet I've got an incredible view of the city around me. What sort of building am I in?
The Eiffel Tower
C) I had to meet an Australian, an American and a South African at the airport. One of them was called Bruce, and I identified him immediately, despite never having met any of them before. How?
He had a nametag?

Alternatively, he was a bat. Who could drive.
Or an owl.
