Here is how this works, I have a riddle for everyone, and will answer yes or no questions (up to a total of 20) and let's see who gets it first. Have fun!

You are driving down the road in your car on a wild, rainy & stormy night, when you pass by a bus stop and you see three people waiting for the bus:

1- An old man who looks as if he is about to fall over and die.
2 -An old friend who you haven't seen in 10 years.
3- The perfect boyfriend/girlfriend you have been dreaming about.
 

The rules:

Only 1 person can fit with you in your car (you have no backseat)

You can't leave anyone alone in the rain, and must come up with a solution to help all three people.

You are about to run out of gas, so you could only make one trip into town.

Have fun!!! :)

Give the keys to the perfect match, and have him/her take the car and the old man into town. Wait for the bus with your old friend, and discuss how much you're going to love this new acquaintance, or how much you're going to miss your car, depending on how "perfect" the perfect person turns out to be!

No, actually, give the keys to your friend, have him take the old man to the hospital, and wait for the bus with the perfect match.

I like your answer.  I was thinking that some how they might all be the same person?  I am focusing on the age reference, but I cant pull it together.

Mr Blanche got it!

By  20 questions I meant, if it was complicated- people could ask up to 20 questions

such as

"Are they all the same person?

"Are they males or females"

anything which might help you get it!

Here is another one.........

Acting on an anonymous phone call, the police raid a house to arrest a suspected murderer. They don't know what she looks like but they know her name is Jessica and that she is inside the house. The police bust in on a hair dresser, a teacher, a nurse and a secretary all watching TV. Without hesitation or communication of any kind, they immediately arrest the teacher. How do they know they've got their person?

Well, I assume the hair dresser and the nurse have name tags on, so they are ruled out. Maybe the teacher has a name tag too??

Are the other three people dead?
Nope. They are all sitting around watching TV.

Hint # 1-

Think about what you know for sure is true about one of them.

Personally, I'd get out of the car and give the keys to old friend so that s/he can take the old man to the hospital, while I wait with my dream guy!!!   lol

tell your friend to take the old guy to the nearest hospital 

You take the bus with the prefect guy to the hospital.
