Most of them are quite easy:

1. A duck is swimming in a lake. A cat is sitting in her tail. If the duck dives, what happens to the cat?

2. You have a bottle of random shape and you want to fill HALF of it with water. You have available only a pump with unlimited water. Nothing else. How will you fill it?

3. A baby is just born from a black mother and a white father. What is the color of the baby's teeth?

4. It is now 12 o'clock in the night and it is raining. How possible is having sun after 72 hours?

5. Mr John went for a walk in the forest. Strong rain suddenly started. He had nothing to protect his head, however not even a few hairs got wet. How is this possible?

6. You have a matchbox and ONLY one match when you enter a dark room. In this room there is an oil lamp, a primus stove and a candle. What are you going to light first?

7. Two men played tennis. They played 4 sets and each one won 3 sets. How is this possible?

3. Babies don't usually have teeth.

4. Impossible in the current hemisphere.

@markr,
for #4 I don't get it. If it's midnight and u wait three days, it'd still be midnight. Where in the world is the sun EVER up at midnight?
