Prepare to groan!
1. Tom and Ella emerged from playing in the cellar. Tom’s face was clean, but Ella had a dirty smear on hers. Why was it only Tom who went to wash his face?
They looked at each other. Tom saw Ella’s dirty face, so thought his must be dirty, too. Ella saw Tom’s clean face and didn’t know hers was dirty.
2. A man looked out of a window. He was desperate to open it, but knew that doing so would kill him. Why?
He was in a submarine and suffering from claustrophobia.

5. The fire alarm sounded in a ten-storey building. Chris, working in the building, did not make for the stairs, but jumped out of the window. How did he survive?
It was a ground floor window.
6. Kate loved the colour yellow. All the walls in her bungalow were primrose yellow. The doors and skirting boards were a darker yellow. The carpets and soft furnishings were daffodil yellow. Her plates and mugs were lemon yellow. Even her bath towels and kitchen towels were golden yellow. What colour were her stairs?
Bungalows don’t have stairs
.7. You enter a deserted house late at night. Inside you find an oil lamp, a gas fire and a stove full of wood. You only have one match. Which should you light first?
The match.
I did get a few. But I assumed Tom was a cat, so of course he'd wash after playing in the cellar!
