When most people read it the first time round they interprit as asking, would you rather be eaten by a elephant of a gorilla, and answer accordingly.

When read through more closely though it becomes clear that what it was actualy asking was, would u rather an eliphant at you, or the elephant ate a gorrilla.

you follow?

Well basicaly its in how you read the question, since poeple read every single person to mean everyone, instead in this its taken to mean, every person who was single died. hence people who were married and not single didnt nessarly die?

heh, i got these correct, the rest wrong. if you don't understand the plane crashed married thing, let me explain.

"there was an airplane crash, every single person died, but two people survived..."

a person who is single is not attached or married. since every single person died, the last 2 surviving are either attached or married. yeah, bad explaination, i know. sorry if you still don't understand, lol.

edit: ooh, i never realised entor already explained this, lol.

Oh ok I get it now, thanks :P
I found this one last night :

Pandora's box
Once upon a time, there was a girl named Pandora, who wanted a bright groom so she made up a few logic problems for the wannabe. This is one of them.
Based upon the inscriptions on the boxes (none or just one of them is true), choose one box where the wedding ring is hidden.

Golden box
The ring is in this box.

Silver box
The ring is not in this box.

Lead box
The ring is not in the golden box.

Which box is the ring in?

The given conditions indicate that only the inscription on the lead box is true. So the ring is in the silver box.
