1...
2 every month
3 no only dead get buried
4 dead cannot get married

:clap2: You can answer 1. also, I am sure.

There are two situations for 4; and in both, 'can't marry' is the answer!

a) A man will have HIS widow, only when he is dead; dead man can't marry.

b) If he is alive, he will NOT have his widow / widow's sister!!

Another E Z one:

A truck driver was going on a one way road, in the direction opposite to which all the vehicles were plying.

But, the hefty traffic cop on the road, who saw him, did NOT care to arrest him. Why?

 

[Janaki Jambunathan]

Driver was not going on his truck!

 

[Raji Ram]

Driver was not going on his truck!

:clap2: To be more precise, the truck driver was going by WALK!!

 

[naithru]

Yes, he was walking on a one way, that's only possible

 

[Janaki Jambunathan]

The one way rule is for vehicles and not for men and animals - In our country cows and cattles can be seen!
But strangely one way is enforced in temples During Navaratri in Meenakshi Themple this was enforced!

This riddle is 'old wine in a new bottle'!

Arun, Bhasu and Chandru weigh 40 kg, 60 kg and 100 kg respectively. They have to cross a river in a boat, which can carry

a maximum of 100 kg. How many time will each one cross the river, so that all the three will be on the other side?

 

[athimber]

Simple. 100 kg man crosses only once, the others crosses thrice.

Simple. 100 kg man crosses only once, the others crosses thrice.

This is similar to 'puli, aadu, pullukkatu' puzzle, which we learnt during school days!
