Marcus was 15 years old in 2010. In 2015 he was only 10 years old. How is this possible?
The years are B.C., so 2015 came before 2010.

In one day, 6 things. In one week, 4 things. In one month, 2 things. In one year, 1 thing.
What are the things?
Odd numbers.
In a day, there are 6 odd hours: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 (ignoring 24-hour time).
In a week, there are 4 odd-numbered days: 1, 3, 5, 7
In a month, there are 2 odd weeks: 1, 3 (no month has 5 full weeks)
And in a year’s 12 months, there is 1 odd number: 1 (the 1 of 12).
I readily agree the year one is a stretch, but I didn’t write it :)

I’m in an elevator with two other people. When it reaches the first floor, one person gets out and six get in. When it reaches the second floor, three people get out and twelve get in. At the third floor, five leave and nine enter. It rises to the fourth floor, one person gets on and the doors close. Suddenly, the elevator cable snaps and the car smashes to the ground. No one survives the fall, yet I’m alive and know exactly how many people go on and off the elevator at every floor. How is this possible?
I got off at the first floor. I’m a security guard and knew how many people got on and off the elevator by watching the surveillance footage.

I grow in trees, eat living things but have no teeth and give birth to something that looks nothing like me. What am I?
A bird. They are hatched and raised in trees (nests), don’t have teeth in the traditional meaning of teeth and they lay eggs, which look nothing like a bird.
A butterfly / caterpillar could also work.

What begins and has no end? What is the ending of all that begins?
Death or decay.
I can be long, or I can be short. I can be grown, and I can be bought. I can be painted, or left bare. I can be round, or square. What am I?

Arrange the digits 1 through 9 into an equation so that the first number is the square root of the second number. (Two possible variations)
