Lateral Thinking Problems

We have been doing some lateral thinking in class this week

See if you can figure out the solutions to any of these and post your responses as a comment

1. How can you throw a ball as hard as you can so that it comes back to you? The ball should have nothing attached to it, it shouldn't hit anything, and no one else should catch it or throw it.
2. There are six eggs in the basket. Six people each take one of the eggs. How is it that there is still one egg left in the basket?
3. Once a boy was walking down the road, and came to a place where the road divided in two, each separate road forking off in a different direction, a girl was standing at the fork in the road. The boy knew that one road led to Lieville, a town where everyone always lied, and the other led to Trueville, a town where everyone always told the truth. He also knew that the girl came from one of those towns, but he didn't know which one. Can you think of a question the boy could ask the girl to find out the way to Trueville?
4. A girl who was just learning to drive went down a one-way street in the wrong direction, but didn't break the law. How come?
