1)How could a baby fall out of a twenty-story building onto
the ground and live?
2)There are six eggs in the basket. Six people each take
one of the eggs. How can it be that one egg is left in the basket?

1(a) It falls out of a ground-floor window
(b) The concrete for the footpath has just been poured
(c) There is no footpath and the ground is soft mud
(d) The building only has one floor, the 20 stories being the collected works of Beatrix Potter
2(a) The person who takes the last egg leaves it in the basket
(b) Person #6 takes their egg from Person #5
secret squirrel for 2(b) it says that every person has one egg so person 6 cant take it away from person 5 but some good answers that i wouldnt of discovered for #1 and #2!!!!!!!!
Well, it could be that Person #5 takes one egg which is then taken from them by P6 shortly after. The problem only states that 6 people take an egg (from the basket). No mention is made of how long they retain the egg for.
Anyway, I think 2(a) was prob the answer being sought.

1) The baby that fell out of the 'twenty-story building' could have fallen out of the ground floor, because it is never said from wich floor it falls... it just says 'twenty-story building' and not 'twentieth storie of a building' !
2) one of the 'people' is pregnant. a baby in a belly cant hold an egg.. so one stayes in the basket =)
