Three cannibals

Three cannibals and three anthropologists have to cross a river.

The boat they have is only big enough for two people. The cannibals will do as requested, even if they are on the other side of the river, with one exception. If at any point in time there are more cannibals on one side of the river than anthropologists, the cannibals will eat them.

What plan can the anthropologists use for crossing the river so they don't get eaten?

Note: One anthropologist can not control two cannibals on land, nor can one anthropologist on land control two cannibals on the boat if they are all on the same side of the river. This means an anthropologist will not survive being rowed across the river by a cannibal if there is one cannibal on the other side.

Three Boxes

The Waiter

Three men in a cafe order a meal the total cost of which is $15. They each contribute $5. The waiter takes the money to the chef who recognizes the three as friends and asks the waiter to return $5 to the men.

The waiter is not only poor at mathematics but dishonest and instead of going to the trouble of splitting the $5 between the three he simply gives them $1 each and pockets the remaining $2 for himself.

Now, each of the men effectively paid $4, the total paid is therefore $12. Add the $2 in the waiters pocket and this comes to $14.....where has the other $1 gone from the original $15?

Two boys wish to cross a river. The only way to get to the other side is by boat, but that boat can only take one boy at a time. The boat cannot return on its own, there are no ropes or similar tricks, yet both boys manage to cross using the boat.

Sailor, Monkey and Coconut

5 Sailors and a monkey landed on an island in the southern Pacific Ocean. They found a big pile of coconuts. Since they were so tired and it was getting late, they all went to sleep instead.

Allan woke up at night. He wanted to get his share right then. He divided the coconuts evenly into 5 piles, but one coconut was left. He hid one pile for himself and gave the extra one to the monkey. He went back to sleep.

Brad woke up (without knowing what had happened) after Allan. He divided the rest of the coconuts evenly into 5 piles, but one coconut was left. He hid one pile for himself and gave the extra one to the monkey. He went back to sleep.

Charlie woke up (without knowing what had happened) after Brad. He divided the rest of the coconuts evenly into 5 piles, but one coconut was left. He hid one pile for himself and gave the extra one to the monkey. He went back to sleep.

David woke up (without knowing what had happened) after Charlie. He divided the rest of the coconuts evenly into 5 piles, but one coconut was left. He hid one pile for himself and gave the extra one to the monkey. He went back to sleep.

Earl woke up (without knowing what had happened) after David. He divided the rest of the coconuts evenly into 5 piles, but one coconut was left. He hid one pile for himself and gave the extra one to the monkey. He went back to sleep.

When they all awoke in the morning, they determined to divide the rest of the coconuts evenly into 5 piles. Each sailor got a pile. Again one coconut was left, and they gave it to the monkey. Everybody got one pile. How many coconuts did each person get?

Get the life door

There is a prisoner who is about to be executed. The king decides to give him one last chance to live.

There are 2 doors, the life door and the death door. There is one guard standing by each door. Those two guards know which door is the life door and which is the death door. However, one of them always tells the truth and the other always tells a lie. There is no way you can identify which door is the life door or the death door. There is no way you can distinguish who is the one telling the truth.

The prisoner can only ask one guard one question. Then he needs to choose a door to walk in. If he walks in the death door, then he will be executed. If he walks in the life door, he can have a new life.

He did choose the life door and lived. What was the question he asked? How did he choose the door after he got the answer from one of the guards?
