A truck driver was going the opposite way on a one-way street, but no policeman stopped him, even though few of them saw what he was doing. Why?

Because the truck driver was just a pedestrian on that day, not driving his truck.

A man is found in a room without any windows, with just one door which is locked from the inside. The man is hanging from a ceiling fan, dead, 4 feet above the floor. The room is completely empty, except for the man, the fan, and a puddle of water on the floor. How did the man die?

The man used a block of ice so that he could hang himself, and then the ice melted into the puddle of water.

Two friends made a bet whose horse is slower. After wondering for days what is the fastest and fairest way to figure out who wins the bet, they finally decided to ask a famous wise hermit for help. Upon giving them his advice, the two friends jumped on the horses and started racing back to the city as fast as they could. What did the hermit say?

He told them to switch their horses and whoever gets to the city first will win the bet.
