First of all, you have WAY to much time on your hands. But so do I, so I'll answer the question.
Answers:
1. Confused
2. He said something that was neither true or false??? "I am innocent?"
3. Take 2 gallons off of the 5 gallon container using the 3 gallon container. With the new 2 gallon container, take off one gallon using the 3 gallon container. You are left with a one gallon container. In simple math: 5 - 3 = 2, 3 - 2 = 1
4. I have no idea, but if you pull out all of them, you are guaranteed to have a matching pair, or 20.
5. silence
6. How is that even possible?
7. 10 people are in the family... i think.
8. *_*
9. A lie??? no, it's the truth, no... wah!
From now on, I will only answer questions I KNOW the answers to:
13. You have one cup of suger.
14. Several answers I guess, a tunnel, a river.
15. 26, 11 if it is a trick question
16. a towel?
19. nothing
21. opposite day?
22. one, then it isn't empty any more.
2. just a guess: she flooded the room and swam to the top and then opened the window and hung herself, the water went out the window or door or something and a puddle remained.
8. She is really short and can't reach the number of her floor.
6. They were going the other way.
Why do so many of these have death in it. It's very depressing.
I better get best answer for this... please? That and the fact that nobody else is crazy enough to answer all of them.

2. He said, "You'll sentence me to six years in prison." If it was true, then the judge would have to make it false by sentencing him to four years. If it was false, then he would have to give him six years, which would make it true. Rather than contradict his own word, the judge set the man free.
3. Fill the 3-gallon container with oil and pour it into the 5-gallon container. Then fill the 3-gallon container again and use it to fill the 5-gallon container the rest of the way. One gallon will be left in the 3-gallon container.
