Question 1: A "Wise King" devised a contest to see who would receive the

Princess hand in marriage.

The Princess was put in a 50x50 foot carpeted room. Each of her four

suitors was put in one corner of the room with a small box to stand on.

The first one to touch the Princess hand would be the winner and become

the new King.

The rules of the test were that the contestants could not walk over the

carpet, cross the plane of the carpet, or hang from anything; nor could

they use anything but their body and wits (i.e. no magic or telepathy, nor

any items such as ladders, block and tackles, etc.).

One suitor figured out a way and married the Princess and became the new

King.

How did he figure it out?



Answer：The successful suitor simply asked the Princess to walk over to

where he stood, and to touch his hand!



Question 2: A 6-foot tall Magician had a water glass and was holding the

glass above his head. He let it drop to the carpet without spilling a

single drop of water.

How could he manage to drop the glass from a height of six feet and not

spill a drop of water?



Answer: It was an EMPTY glass!
