QUICKIE

Riddle me this

#1 Two men are the only hairdressers in a small town. You decide to go to one of the hairdressers. The one in the store on the left has jagged, uneven patches of hair in several places on his head. The one in the store on the right hair has perfect shiny hair with nothing out of place. Which one do you choose, the one on the left, or the one on the right?

#2 If I give you nine toothpicks, how can you make ten without breaking any of the toothpicks?

#3 You’re in a bathroom with stone walls and no windows. You start to run a bath but the handles come off and there’s no way of turning off the taps. You can’t escape because the door is locked and there are no windows. The room will flood and you will drown. How can you save yourself?

Answers

#1 Choose the one on the left, since he gave the fabulous haircut to the one on the right.
#2 Place the nine toothpicks so that they spell TEN.
#3 Pull the plug out of the bath.
