1. If six kitties climb five trucks, and four of those trucks flip, how many kitties are crushed? Explain.

2. A man gives you eight puppies, and tells you all except one weighs the same; you have reason to believe he's telling the truth. He further gives you a balance scale and tells you that if you can tell him which puppy is the fat or thin one only making 3 measurements, he'll give you 1 million dollars. How do you proceed to tell which puppy is the fattest (it's either fat or thin, but you have no idea which), only making 3 measurements? Explain.

The first was easy. Second one took me a second. I don't want to explain so early in the thread. I want to see if any one else can get it. I love word problems. These are good ones.
I have to see if my husband can get the answers.
