There was an airplane crash, every single person died, but two people survived. How is this possible?

^ i don't get that one.

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?

A man and his son were in an car accident. The man died on the way to the hospital, but the boy was rushed into surgery. The emergency room surgeon said "I can't operate, that's my son!" How is this possible?

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
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?

Show Hide

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