A poor farmer went to the market to sell some peas and
lentils. However, as he had only one sack and didn't want to mix peas
and lentils, he poured in the peas first, tied the sack in the middle,
and then filled the top portion of the sack with the lentils. At the
market a rich innkeeper happened by with his own sack. He wanted to buy
the peas, but he did not want the lentils.
Pouring the seed anywhere else but the sacks is considered soiling. Trading sacks is not allowed. The farmer can't cut a hole in his sack.
How would you transfer the peas to the innkeeper's sack, which he wants to keep, without soiling the produce?

Just give your logic
You've been sentenced to death in an obscure foreign country which has a strange law. Before the sentence is carried out, two papers -- one with "LIFE" written on it and one with "DEATH" written on it -- are folded up and placed in a hat. You are permitted to pick out one of the papers (without looking), and if you choose

Your sock drawer contains ten pairs of white socks and ten pairs of black socks. If you're only allowed to take one sock from the drawer at a time and you can't see what color sock you're taking until you've taken it, how many socks do you have to take before you're guaranteed to have at least one matching pair? you can say at the worst case.
- At most it will take three taking. At the first two trials, if your shocks appear of two different colours, the third one will definitely match any one of the previous two.

This one is my favorite among all trick questions and answers. Imagine yourself driving on a highway on a windy day. Suddenly, you notice some people standing by the side of the road, and you slow down. You learn that the people include your best friend, an ailing old woman, and your dream girl. The ailing woman is dying and requires immediate medical help. Now, you have only one chance to spend a day with your dream girl, and of course you can't leave your best friend behind. So, what would you do in order to help the woman to reach the hospital? Remember that, your car can carry 'ONLY TWO' people (the driver and one passenger).
ans:
Seems quite tricky right? Here is the answer... You ask your best friend to drive the woman to a hospital, and you spend the day with your dream girl! How's that?
What is it which is yours and you do not use, but others always do?
