Assalamu alaikum...





A few riddles to solve...





1)A cop was walking past a restaurant when he heard someone scream - "No John, not the gun!" He ran inside and saw a doctor, a lawyer, a milkman, and a dead body on the floor. He promptly walked over to the milkman and arrested him. He didn't witness the shooting and there was no apparent evidence to prove who shot the person and no one told him who the killer was.
How did the policeman instantly know it was the milkman?







2)A farmer in California owns a beautiful pear tree. He supplies the fruit to a nearby grocery store. The store owner has called the farmer to see how much fruit is available for him to purchase. The farmer knows that the main trunk has 24 branches. Each branch has exactly 12 boughs and each bough has exactly 6 twigs. Since each twig bears one piece of fruit, how many plums will the farmer be able to deliver?


3)A plane crashed and every single person on board this flight was killed, yet...there were survivors. Explain how?


4)A mile from end to end, yet as close to you as a friend. A precious commodity, freely given, seen on the dead and on the living. Found on the rich, poor, short or tall, but shared among children most of all.

What is it?


Wassalaam :)

3) The survivors jumped off the plane and used a parachute. That's how the survivors survived. Everyone else that didn't jump were in the plane so they died
