I LOVE that Mt. Everest one. It takes advantage of the way that human thinking works. Just like the following one.
E5 (classification: checking your assumptions): A boy and his dad were driving in a car. Their car suddenly gets hit by a drunk driver's car. The father is killed in the collision and the son is seriously hurt. He hospital in need of an operation. The surgeon comes into the room, gasps, and says "I can't operate on this boy! He's my son!" What is going on here?

I have a pretty easy one!
What is something that is yours, but is used more by others than by yourself?

This is fun! Here's one more:
- A woman shoots her husband. Then she holds him under water for five minutes, and finally she hangs him. (What a loving wife.) Later that night, they both go out to a romantic dinner together. Now, how did that happen? {No, she didn't re-marry.} Hard

She shoots him with a camera, holds the picture under water to develop it, and then hangs it on the wall.

She shoots a picture of her husband, develops it, then hangs it up to dry. Darn, time lag got me again!

Rrr. A mere flaw in my stump-the-world plan! Have we used the '-gry' riddle yet?
(There are three words that end with "gry". Angry is one and hungry is another. What is the third word? Everyone uses it every day and Everyone knows what it means. If you have been listening, I have already told you what the word is.)
