230 – 220 x 0.5 = ?
You probably won’t believe it, but the answer is 5! How can this be true?
The answer is 120, and 5! = 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 120

Toby likes indigo but not red. He likes onions but not turnips. He likes forms but not shapes.
According to the same rule, does he like tomatoes or avocados?
Toby only likes words that start with prepositions, like his name. Thus he likes tomatoes, not avocados.

Two robbers took everything they could get their hands on. A police officer saw it but did nothing to stop them. Why?
It was Halloween. The robbers and police officer were all kids dressed up in costume, and all they took was candy.

The part of the bird
that is not in the sky,
which can swim in the ocean
and always stay dry.
What is it?
The bird’s shadow.
I’m usually quite pleasant
As you roam and play,
But if you look into my eyes,
I’ll not look away.
Once you turn away from me,
I’ll attack if I stay dry,
Better grab a pail of water,
I’ll not stop until I die.
What am I?
An Enderman, from Minecraft.
Enderman are normally passive, but they become hostile if a player looks directly at them. The Enderman will stare back until the player looks away, and then attack the player. A bucket of water is the best way to defeat an Enderman.

You are in the woods with owls and wolves. There are 22 eyes and 32 legs. How many owls and wolves are there?
5 owls and 5 wolves, (not 6 owls because 2 of the eyes and legs are yours).
2 * owls + 2 * wolves = 20 eyes
2 * owls + 4 * wolves = 30 legs
owls + wolves = 10 eyes → owls = 10 – wolves
owls + 2 * wolves = 15 → 10 – wolves + 2 * wolves = 15 → wolves = 5
owls + 5 = 10 → owls = 5

I cover what is real and hide what is true,
But sometimes I bring out the courage in you.
What am I?
A mask. It makes people look different, but can make you feel more powerful than you normally do.
Makeup also works.

Lighter than what
I am made of,
More of me is hidden
Than is seen.
An Iceberg.
