		<description>I am being completely honest. I didn&#039;t look at other people&#039;s answers or the real answers. I didn&#039;t get very much.

2. A coffin.
4. A snowman that has melted.
8. Nothing
11. Zero
12. In 649 BC no one would have heard of Christ or when he would come so how could they possibly state that they were in 649 BC?
15. Canadians pay more?
16. Saturn?
17. Underground building - 20th floor is ground floor.
19. Darkness
20. Rust</description>

		<description>Q)15 - it is not to make more money!

There is nothing of &quot;lateral thinking&quot; in that kind of answer. My guess is he would rather cut the hair off three Canadians instead of cutting one New Yorker (say, in half).</description>

		<description>Well, these are what I got:
1: Wind
2: Coffin 
3: Gloves
4: There was a snowman there, and he melted :D
5: Birthday? Everyone&#039;s had one, but you&#039;ll never have the same one twice.
6: Mirror
7: Catcher and Umpire at a baseball game
8: Nothing
9: Day and Night
10: Golf
11: 0. If one person had no fingers on one hand (through an accident or genetic deformity) then any number multiplied by 0 is 0.
12: Why would BC be on the coin? They had never heard of Jesus Christ, he hadn&#039;t been born yet, so BC wouldn&#039;t mean anything.
13: Splinter
14: Music or a song
15: Because three people pay more than one person.
16: A bubble
17: It fell out of the ground floor
18: An argument
19: Darkness
20: Rust
21: Alcohol - trip you up= get drunk, torture you tomorrow= hangover</description>

		<description>The strongest chains will not bind it
Ditch and rampart will not slow it down
A thousand soldiers cannot beat it
It can knock down trees with a single push
 WIND

The one who made it
Didn’t want it
The one who bought it
Didn’t need it
The one who used it
Never saw it 
COFFIN

Buckets, barrels, baskets, cans;
What must you fill with empty hands? 
GLOVES

Five pieces of coal, a carrot and a scarf are lying on a hill near a
remote house. Nobody put them on the lawn but there is a perfectly
logical reason why they should be there. What is it? 
MELTING SNOWMAN

Every creature in the world has seen it
But to their dying day they’ll never see
The same one again 
YESTERDAY

Look in my face
I am somebody
Look at my back
I am nobody 
MIRROR

A man leaves home and makes 3 left turns.
When he returns home he is met by two men
one of whom is wearing a mask. Who are they? 
CATCHER AND UMPIRE AT BASEBALL

We love it more than life
We fear it more than death
The wealthy want for it
The poor have it in plenty 
NOTHING

The light one breaks but never falls
His brother falls but never breaks 
DAYLIGHT

Which four letter sport begins with a ‘T’ ? 
GOLF

Assume there are approximately 6,000,000,000 (6 billion) people on
Earth. What would you estimate to be the result, if you multiply
together the number of fingers on every person’s left-hands? (For the
purposes of this exercise, thumbs count as fingers, for five fingers
per hand.) If you cannot estimate the number then try to gues how long
the number would be. 
O

An archeologist proudly told that he had found four silver coins which, according to the inscription “649 B.C.”, should now be 2720 years old. The press considered him a fraud and a dreamer. Why? 
NO DATES AND WAY OF TELLING IN THOSE DAYS..

He got it in the woods
And brought it home in his hand
Because he couldn’t find it.
The more he looked for it
The more he felt it. When he
finally found it he threw it away. 
THORN

This wondrous thing, though not
An herb, can help comfort the weak
And the dying. It can even be used to
Rally the troops, or make one start
Laughing or crying 
MUSIC

A New York city hairdresser recently said that he would rather cut the hair of three Canadians than one New Yorker. Why? 
CANADIANS PAY MORE

This sparkling globe
Can float on water
And weighs no more
Than a feather
Yet despite its weight
Ten giants could
Never pick it up 
BUBBLE

How could a baby fall out of a twenty-story building onto the ground and live? 
BABY FELL FROM THE GROUND FLOOR

Whoever has it is angry
Whoever loses it is even angrier
Whoever wins it has it no more 
DISPUTE

This engulfing thing
Is strange indeed
The greater it grows
The less you see 
DARKNESS

It can pierce the best armor
And make swords crumble with a rub
Yet for all its power
It can’t harm a club 
RUST

Today he is there to trip you up
And he will torture you tomorrow
Yet he is also there to ease the pain
When you are lost in grief and sorrow 
ALCOHOL</description>
