Lillian gets in the shower, but her long, flowing hair is not wet when she gets out again. How is this possible?
She didn’t turn the water on, she wore a shower cap or it was a baby shower.

What am I?
A potato. The roots growing out of a potato are called eyes, when you cut a potato in half it doesn’t produce any moisture and if you leave a poor potato to its own devices, it will die.

On a remote (imaginary) island, there are 11 snakes and a single mouse. As you’d expect, snakes eat the mice. But contrary to what you’d expect, when a snake eats a mouse, it turns into one.
The snakes live by only two rules:
1. Don’t get eaten.
How many snakes and mice will there be left on the island?
10 snakes, 1 mouse.
If there were only a single snake and mouse, the snake could eat the mouse, then turn into one, leaving a single mouse.
If there were two snakes and a single mouse, rule 2 would keep either of the snakes from eating the mouse to avoid being eaten themselves.
With three snakes and one mouse, one of the snakes could eat a mouse and be safe as a mouse thanks to rule 2.
This pattern continues. With an even number of snakes, nothing happens. With an odd number of snakes, one snake can eat the mouse.
Thus, with 11 snakes, one snake would eat the mouse, turn into one and leave 10 snakes and 1 mouse.

I have four legs but no tail. Usually I am heard only at night. What am I?
A frog. The frog is an amphibian in the order Anura (meaning “tail-less”) and usually makes noises at night during its mating season.
