Klausimai pamastymui, kai kurie durnoki, kai kurie neblogi, visi ganetinai 
paprasti, ale pamislyt reikia, ryt imesiu atsakymus, pabandom paspeliot:)
  1.. There is a man who lives on the top floor of a very tall building. 
Everyday he gets the elevator down to the ground floor to leave the building 
to go to work. Upon returning from work though, he can only travel half way 
up in the lift and has to walk the rest of the way unless it's raining! Why?
  This is probably the best known and most celebrated of all lateral 
thinking puzzles. It is a true classic. Although there are many possible 
solutions which fit the initial conditions, only the canonical answer is 
truly satisfying.

  2.. A man and his son are in a car accident. The father dies on the scene, 
but the child is rushed to the hospital. When he arrives the surgeon says, 
"I can't operate on this boy, he is my son! " How can this be?
  3.. A man is wearing black. Black shoes, socks, trousers, coat, gloves and 
ski mask. He is walking down a back street with all the street lamps off. A 
black car is coming towards him with its light off but somehow manages to 
stop in time. How did the driver see the man?
  4.. One day Kerry celebrated her birthday. Two days later her older twin 
brother, Terry, celebrated his birthday. How?
  5.. Why is it better to have round manhole covers than square ones? This 
is logical rather than lateral, but it is a good puzzle that can be solved 
by lateral thinking techniques. It is supposedly used by a very well-known 
software company as an interview question for prospective employees.
  6.. A man went to a party and drank some of the punch. He then left early. 
Everyone else at the party who drank the punch subsequently died of 
poisoning. Why did the man not die?
  7.. A man died and went to Heaven. There were thousands of other people 
there. They were all naked and all looked as they did at the age of 21. He 
looked around to see if there was anyone he recognized. He saw a couple and 
he knew immediately that they were Adam and Eve. How did he know?
  8.. A woman had two sons who were born on the same hour of the same day of 
the same year. But they were not twins. How could this be so?
  9.. A man walks into a bar and asks the barman for a glass of water. The 
barman pulls out a gun and points it at the man. The man says 'Thank you' 
and walks out. This puzzle claims to be the best of the genre. It is simple 
in its statement, absolutely baffling and yet with a completely satisfying 
solution. Most people struggle very hard to solve this one yet they like the 
answer when they hear it or have the satisfaction of figuring it out.
  10.. A murderer is condemned to death. He has to choose between three 
rooms. The first is full of raging fires, the second is full of assassins 
with loaded guns, and the third is full of lions that haven't eaten in 3 
years. Which room is safest for him?
  11.. A woman shoots her husband. Then she holds him under water for over 5 
minutes. Finally, she hangs him. But 5 minutes later they both go out 
together and enjoy a wonderful dinner together. How can this be?
  12.. There are two plastic jugs filled with water. How could you put all 
of this water into a barrel, without using the jugs or any dividers, and 
still tell which water came from which jug?
  13.. What is black when you buy it, red when you use it, and gray when you 
throw it away?
  14.. Can you name three consecutive days without using the words Monday, 
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday? (or day names in 
any other language)
