Doing no harm, and feeling no pain
Only one color, but not one size,
Stuck at the bottom, yet easily flies.
Present in sun, but not in rain,
Doing no harm, and feeling no pain.
What am I?

Mysterious Suicide
Sushil Bhatia's cnotribution >>
Two police offers were investigating a mysterious death.
When they arrived at the scene of the crime they found a room with no windows and the dead man who seemed to have hung himself by a rope from the ceiling.
There was no chair or table that the man may have jumped off.
The only clue was a puddle of water on the floor.
How did the man manage to hang himself?

Frog Prince
After the frog turned into a handsome prince and the princess fell in love with him, the king said, "Not so fast! If my daughter is going to marry a former frog, I want to make sure he can do more than catch flies." And he insisted that the prince take an intelligence test. "One of these three boxes is filled with precious jewels. The other two contain pebbles from the pond you just left. As you see, the boxes all have inscriptions. Box No. 1 says, 'The jewelry is in this box.' Box No. 2 says, 'The jewelry is not in this box.' And Box No. 3 says, 'The jewelry is not in the first box'."
"I see," said the prince. The king continued, "If I told you how many of these inscriptions are true, you would be able to figure out where the jewelry is. Where is it?"
