OK, this one is really stupid, but well...
There's a black car, with black windows, and black seats, with a black driver dressed in black, going through a black street with no lights and tall trees on each side. The car has no lights either. Suddenly, an old black blind lady dressed entirely in black, with black shoes and a black hat, crosses the street close to the black car. The black driver stops and doesn't hit her. How did he know she was there?

Re: Cannibal Village problem.
Without checking the spoiler - my guess is that the driver who isn't blind saw her white stick

My idea sounds too simple:
[spoiler] 5 people had to jump out of a plane, but onlye 4 parachutes, so they drew straws [/spoiler]
Many similar variations thought of.

Re: Cannibal Village problem.
A king shows a slave that has misbehaved two pieces of paper. He tells him "in the other side, in one of them is written YES and in the other one NO, if you choose the one which says YES, you'll live, if not, you'll die". But the slave is able to see for a second that both the papers say NO. What can he do to save himself?
Very frustrating really, when they told me the answer...

Re: Cannibal Village problem.
The Slave took one of the pieces of paper, put it in his mouth and swallowed it. Then he told the king - I don't know what was written on that piece of paper, but if the one left says NO then i must have chosen the one that says YES

Re: Cannibal Village problem.
It doesn't matter what the slave does, he's still a slave and the king wants him dead, therefore he'll die. The king gets to write the small print, and there'll always be a clause in there somewhere that says the slave gets it.
Call me cynical, but you know I'm right.

Re: Cannibal Village problem.
David's right. How did you do it?
I'm getting scared now.
The king didn't kill him after all. He lived happily ever after.

Re: Cannibal Village problem.
Lucy
I'd love to claim that it is my awesome perception and towering intellect that allowed me to get the answer so quickly. Unfortunately since don't have ant awesome perception or towering intellect I'll just have to admit that I've come across a variation of that one before.

Re: Cannibal Village problem.
Lucy
How can it be cheatring to answer a question, honestly using my own brainpower (since memory is a brain function)
As far as how do you put a giraffe inside a fridge? - My guess is that you put grass in the bottom of the fridge and when it walks in you have one leg in each corner with the head bent down to eat the grass. Then you close the door
Secondly you write the words "a giraffe" on a piece of paper and put the paper in the fridge (works for a model/toy giraffe as well.
Thirdly put someone or something with the name "a giraffe" in the fridge.
PS - I have another answer but I'm sure you REALLY wouldn't like that one.

Re: Cannibal Village problem.
You mean like a "Jack the Ripper" solution?
Well see, you couldn't answer this one mwaahahahahahahaha
The answer: you open the fridge door, you put the giraffe inside, you close the fridge door.
Too much for you, I know

Re: Cannibal Village problem.

Mine is easier as the giraffe goes in on it's own.
But since we have now established your level (meow), you shouldn't have any problems with the following questions
1. What is brown and sticky?
2. What's orange and sounds like a Parrot?
