1. Twenty one. Most people would think there were 42 handshakes, but when A shakes hands with B, B has already shaken hands with A and need not do it again.
2. The parrot was deaf.
3. Suicide.
4. There are four daughters and three sons.
5. You would be holding a letter 'b' in your right hand.
6. Tower. Tower and all the words from group A can be preceeded by the word water.

1. If seven people meet each other and each shakes hands only once with each of the others, how many handshakes will there have been? < may be a repost but I'm too lazy to go back n check
2. When Clara Clatter was purchasing her new parrot, the salesman assured her that it would repeat any word it heard. About a week later, Clara returned the parrot complaining it hadn't uttered a single word. Given that the salesman had spoken the truth about the parrot's abilities, why wouldn't the bird talk?
3. There is a certain crime, that if it is attempted, is punishable, but if it is committed, is not punishable. What is the crime?
4. In the 'Strange' family, each daughter has the same number of brothers as she has sisters. Each son has twice as many sisters as he has brothers. How many sons and daughters are in the family?
5. If you saw your mirror image holding a letter ' d ' in your left hand, what would you, in actuality, be doing?
6. What word from group B belongs to group A and why?
A) FRONT, SKI, MELON, FALL
B) ROAD, TIRE, TOWER, CLIFF
Good luck
