What do you put in a toaster?
A plane lands on the boarder of the US and Mexico, which country do they bury the survivors in?
A man is found hanging in his apartment, with a suicide note. There is no stool under him he could have kicked, and no other way for him to have gotten up to tie himself. Only thing off is a large puddle of water beneath his feet. Was it really suicide?

You are one of the first officers to arrive at a crime scene. You are the ranking officer and ask if anything has been touched- nothing has. The responding officer opened the door, called you, and waited for you to arrive.
You walk around the room for a bit. It's a shooting, a gun in the victim's hand- in his other hand a tape recorder. You pick it up and hit play. The victim is talking, and sounds worried, but goes on to say that he has enough of life, and will be killing himself- a bang can be heard and then silence.
Was it suicide- or something else?

Murder. If you hit play and it said that then someone would have had to have hit rewind on the tape recorder.

Not to mention that someone would have had to stop the recording, and if the gunshot can be heard on the recording, then obviously it couldn't be suicide.

OK, I've got one.
You're on an island and there's a palm tree, and it has coconuts. After a strong wind, coconuts are not on the tree, but coconuts are not on the ground either. How is this possible?
(No, they did no get blown into the ocean, they did not get picked up and taken away, and they were not eaten.)

Two people have the exact same DNA, yet they are not twins, they are not clones, and it's not an insane coincidence. How is this possible?

My coconut one and pickle one are still unsolved. And I doubt you'll be able to look them up, as I changed the wording around completely and only kept the principle of the riddle the same.

The coconut one is so vague. Was it buried in the sand? Did a bird take it? Are the coconuts still in the air? There's a million and 5 possibilities.

They're two separate riddles.
You're on an island and there's a palm tree, and it has coconuts. After a strong wind, coconuts are not on the tree, but coconuts are not on the ground either. How is this possible? (No, they did no get blown into the ocean, they did not get picked up and taken away, and they were not eaten.)

None of those are correct. The the coconuts are not mid-air, they're not buried in the sand, they were not carried away by anything.

There are only 2 coconuts in the palm tree. The strong wind blows one of the coconuts to the ground. So you have one coconut on the ground and one coconut in tree. So there aren't coconuts in the tree and there aren't coconuts on the ground either. ::trollface::
You give 4 of your friends a pickle, and then you give your fifth friend the jar with one pickle in it. So each friend has one pickle and one pickle is still in the jar. ::trollface::

Seven soldiers are scheduled to be executed. They are told in advance that they will all be lined up single file line, one in front of the other. Each will have either a blue or white cap placed on their heads. Starting with the soldier in the very back, who can see the hats of the other 6 soldiers, but not his own, they must guess the color of their cap correctly to be spared. The night before the execution, the 7 soldiers come up with a plan that is guaranteed to save at least 6 of them. What is their plan?
