5. Which weighs more, a pound of pennies or a pound of dimes?

6. Two U.S. coins add up to 55 cents, but one coin is not a nickel. What are these coins?

7. What is it that the people who make it, don't want it; the people who buy it, don't use it; and the people who use, don't know it?

8. A man rides into a town on Sunday, three days later, he leaves on Sunday, how can this be?

9. What's more powerful than God.. The rich don't want it; the poor have much of it, and if you eat it you'll die?

10. Johnny's mother had three children. The first child was named April. The second child was named May. What was the third childs name?

Sister-in-law


Nope, I thought about this some more.  The defendant is a man married to the judge who is a woman.  Here's how it works.

Ok, let's give them names like Courtney (Defendant), Matt (Brother-in-law), Sarah (Sister)

Courtney's bro-in-law is Matt whose only sister is Sarah
Courtney has to be married to Sarah
Sarah has a child
Sarah's husband is the father of the son of the judge (She is the mother)
That leaves the other parent of the child to be the judge who is Sarah
Sarah is married to Courtney

My first answer wasn't thought out very well.

What other one did I miss?  The only other one possible is the buffet question because there's not enough information.  I'm thinking it's missing a total for the buffet and a price per person in which case I know the answer, I think.

Shouldn´t the question be: How is it possible for two fathers and two sons to pay only 21 for a buffet when the buffet costs 7 per person?

Then it would be easy.  Grandpa Joe, Joe Bob, and Joe Jr. 

Grandpa Joe is father of Joe Bob
Joe Bob is father of Joe Jr
Joe Bob is son of Grandpa Joe
Joe Jr is son of Joe Bob

Impossible relationship because it would cause a mistrial because of possible bias. They would have to appoint a different judge... oh you want a 6th grade answer and not a 17th grade law course answer... I've been in school too long.

The judge is the defendant or he got it on with the judge's wife.

That's what I was thinking, something along those lines
