James makes a bet with Laura that he can use any name she can think of in a song she will recognize with the original lyrics. Laura takes him up on the bet and loses. What song did James sing to win?

I am a ship that can be made to ride the greatest waves. I am not built by objects, but built by minds. What am I?
Friendship.
The 22nd and 24th presidents of the United States of America had the same parents, but were not brothers. How is this possible?

I’m forever stuck going only up and down.

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

A Name Kebab (something I made up) is a series of first and last names that fit together like a delicious Shish Kebab.
For example, the names Benjamin Franklin, Franklin Pierce and Pierce Brosnan form a tasty three-name kebab.

If two hours ago it was as long after one o’clock in the afternoon as it was before one o’clock in the morning, what time is it right now?
9pm (or 21:00). There are 12 hours between 1pm and 1am, so 6 hours after 1am is halfway. 6 hours + 1pm equals 7pm. In order for 7pm to be 2 hours behind the current time, it must be 9pm.

How many times does the letter S appear in the name of the longest river in the world?
Zero. The Nile is the longest river in the world. Some claim the Amazon as the longest, but that too has no “S”es (that looks weird but I don’t know how else to write the plural of “s”). The Mississippi is the 4th largest river in the world according to a href=”https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_rivers_by_length”>Wikipedia.
