1. What row of numbers comes next in this series?

2. A man was to be sentenced, and the judge told him, "You may make a statement. If it is true, I'll sentence you to four years in prison. If it is false, I'll sentence you to six years in prison." After the man made his statement, the judge decided to let him go free. What did the man say?

3. You have a barrel of oil, and you need to measure out just one gallon. How do you do this if you only have a three-gallon container and a five-gallon container?

I've worked out number 3 before.
But I forgot now.

I've remembered now.

You fill up the 3 gallon container then pour that into the 5 gallon container.
Then fill up the 3 gallon container again and pour 2 gallons into the 5 gallon container. Then empty the 5 gallon container. Leaves you with 1 gallon.

Those were on a website?????

which one? I've heard them before... I have a giant book of riddles. and number two is definitely not impossible!! although, if i stood on a block of ice and waited for it to melt, I might get quite bored...
