It is everything and nothing, completly actualized potential and totally potentialized actuality. What is it?

How many randomly choosen people have to be put into a room to ensure that the chances of at least two of them having a birthday on the same date is 50/50.

An Emperor of ancient Asian kingdom is looking for a wife that also can serve as grand advisor. He then summons three most beautiful women in his region, and now will decide who's the wisest among them. After passing many tests of wit, cunning, and invention, they were pitted against each other in a decisive final battle.

Led blind-folded into a small room, the three smart women were seated around a small wooden table as the Emperor described the test for them.

"Upon each of your heads I have placed a hat. Now you are either wearing a blue hat or a white hat. All I will tell you is this- at least one of you is wearing a blue hat. There may be only one blue hat and two white hats, there may be two blue hats and one white hat, or there may be three blue hats. But you may be certain that there are not three white hats."

"I will shortly remove your blind folds, and the test will begin. The first to correctly announce the color of his hat shall be my wife and this kingdom grand advisor. Be warned however, she who guesses wrongly shall be beheaded. If not one of you answers within the hour, you will be sent home and I will seek elsewhere for wisdom."

With that, the Emperor uncovered the women' eyes and sat in the corner and waited. One woman looked around and saw that her competitors each were wearing blue hats. From the look in their eyes she could see their thoughts were the same as hers, "What is the color of my hat?"

For what seemed like hours no one spoke. Finally she stood up and said, "The color of the hat I am wearing is..."

You are lost and alone in the woods. You stumble across an old cabin, and decide to stay there for the night.

What do you light first?

What is better than the best, more evil than demons, the poor have it and the rich need it, and if you eat it, you will die?

A man escapes from prison where he has been for 15 years. He breaks into a house to look for money and guns and finds a young couple in bed.

He orders the guy out of bed and ties him to a chair, while tying the girl to the bed he gets on top of her, kisses her neck, then gets up and goes into the bathroom. While he's in there, the husband tells his wife:

"Listen, this guy's an escaped convict, look at his clothes! He probably spent lots of time in jail and hasn't seen a woman in years. I saw how he kissed your neck." If he wants sex, don't resist, don't complain, do whatever he tells you. Satisfy him no matter how much he nauseates you. This guy is probably very dangerous. If he gets angry, he'll kill us. Be strong, honey. I love you."

To which his wife responds: "He wasn't kissing my neck. He wwas whispering in my ear. He told me he was gay, thought you were cute, and asked me if we had any vaseline. I told him it was in the bathroom. Be strong honey. I love you too!!"
