So I once came across this little puzzle, and I’ve been hungry for more ever since:
There are 500 bricks in an airplane. While it’s flying, one brick falls out of the airplane. How many bricks are left in the plane?
499
What are the three steps to putting a giraffe in a refrigerator?

What are the four steps to putting an elephant in a refrigerator?
Step 1: Open the fridge. Step 2: Take the giraffe out. Step 3: Put the elephant inside. Step 4: Close the fridge.
The Lion King is having a birthday party. Every animal in the kingdom shows up except for one. Who is it, and why?
The elephant, because he’s stuck in the fridge.
An old lady wants to cross a river. A local man tells her that the river is infested with crocodiles, and that if she tries to cross, she’ll surely be eaten and die. Despite this, she swims across and gets to the other side safely. Why was she able to do this?
Because the crocodiles are all at the Lion King’s birthday party.
After the old lady safely crosses the river, she suddenly dies. Why?
A brick fell on her!
I’ve been looking for more questions like this for years with no luck. Have y’all got any more puzzles like this? Make me think laterally!
I remember we have one in German, but it’s more about language…
you ask a bunch of questions ghat the answer are different colors, and when they are all used to saying colour’s, if you ask them what a cow gives, they’ll probably say white. Of course, this was in 2nd grade.
Nah, the original is a bit different. After a bunch of color-questions (asked in high speed) you ask „What does the cow drink?“
Many people will answer „milk“, being smart and not saying „white“. But of course it’s „water“
