Can you solve these puzzles?




Got into some lateral thinking...can you solve these?

1/ A traveller set out on a journey and stopped only when he returned to the starting point. During that journey, his head travelled 36 feet further than his feet, yet his feet remained attached to his body. What is the explanation for this?


2/ Ahmed and Ibrahim went on a picnic to an uninhabited island. They took a bet as to see who could run faster. Ahmed ran halfway into the island in half an hour. Ibrahim claimed that he had gone two-thirds of the way into the island in the same time, but Ahmed said it was impossible. Why?


3. The maker does not need it, the buyer does not use it, and the user uses it without knowing. What is it?


I will post the solutions later but I am sure you can solve it..hehe
