Now, here is the situation:

A truck wishing to enter this tunnel is one inch too high. Thus, it will get stuck if it attempts to make its way through the tunnel. There is no other way of reaching its destination aside from going through this tunnel. The driver must be at his destination in one hour, and has little time to spare.

What can the driver do to fit in the tunnel?

Puzzle #41 Now that You Mention It

Speaking of trucks, a police officer saw a truck driver going the wrong way on a one-way street. The street was clearly marked as one-way. But, the police officer said nothing to the driver and let him go on his way.

Why didn’t the police officer do anything about the driver going the wrong way on a one-way street?

Puzzle #42 Color Me…

An old man decided to go live on his own in the wilderness. He wanted to get away from civilization to have the best possible view of the world. In the place he chose, he built a rectangular house, but given the location, he could only see south from any of the four corners of his new house. Then one day, he saw a bear pass by the front of his home.

What color was the bear that passed by?

Puzzle #43 Making the Grade

The teacher of a fifth-grade class was told that the school superintendent would be stopping by for inspection some time the following week. The teacher was very concerned about giving a good impression of both himself and the students.

The school principal told the teacher that the superintendent would be asking questions to the children, but that the teacher would be allowed to choose who responded to each question. So, the teacher needed to figure out a way where he could be sure that the student he picked knows the right answer.

The day before the superintendent arrived, the teacher gave his students some instructions where he could be certain that he would always pick a student who knew the right answer.

What instructions did the teacher give his students?

Puzzle #44 The Fly in the Coffee

In a busy coffee shop, a lady sat down to get a cup of coffee. The waiter served her a cup and a bagel. After a few moments, the lady called the waiter over and said,

“There’s a fly in my coffee.”

The waiter nodded and said,

“My apologies, ma'am. I’ll get you another cup.”

A few moments later, the waiter arrived with another cup of coffee. The lady had a sip and said to the waiter,

“Hey! This is the same cup as the one with a fly in it!”

How did the lady know she had been served the same cup of coffee but without the fly?
