    20 people jumped in, and the other 4 entered some other way - dove, swam, walked?

    There is no one in a lake. 20 people jump in. 24 heads come up. All heads human. How is this possible?
    The 24 heads that came up weren't in the lake. They were on the beach. They looked up when the 20 people jumped in the lake.

    Am I close?

    Okay, here's the riddle from Die Hard. When we watched it, I solved it while it was happening on screen, then I spent 3 hours explaining it to hubby. To this day he still doesn't get it. See if you do.

    You have a 5 gallon jug and 3 gallon jug and more than enough water. You need exactly 4 gallons of water in order to defuse a bomb. Not one drop more than 4 gallons.

    How do you get exactly 4 gallons?

    LMAO. Of course Bella, but how do you get exactly 4 gallons of water when you only have a 3 gallon jug and a 5 gallon jug, and you can't guess, it has to be exactly 4 gallons.

    Do the jugs have the amount of each gallon and ounce like you would have on a measruring cup.

    I'll take a stab at it.

    I'd fill the 5 gallon jug, and pour it into the 3 gallon. What is left in the 5 gallon jug is 2 gallons. Dump the 3 gallons of water. Mark the point on the 5 gallon jug that is 2 gallons. Pour the 2 gallons into the 3 gallon. Fill the 5 gallon to the 2 gallon mark and between the 2 jugs, you have 4 gallons - or pour the 2 gallons in the 3 gallon jug into the 5 gallon jug and there are now 4 gallons in the 5 gallon jug.

    I've lost all of you - huh? :p

    OR...

    Ok, they filled the 3 gallon jug and poured it into the 5 gal. jug. Then filled it again and poured the 3 gal into the 5 gal until it was full.
    This left exactly one gallon in the 3 gallon jug.
    Then they poured out the 5 gallon jug and put the 1 remaining gallon into the 5 gallon jug. So now there is one gallon in the 5 gallon. Now all you have to do is fill the 3 gal. up again and pour it into the 5 gallon.

    I think you've got it JLo, but there's no marking involved.

    Here, maybe this explanation is easier.

    1. Fill the 5 gallon jug to the top.
    2. Pour water from 5 gallon jug into 3 gallon jug, leaving you with exactly 2 gallons in the 5 gallon jug.
    3. Empty the 3 gallon jug.
    4. Pour the 2 gallons you have left in the 5 gallon jug into the now empty 3 gallon jug. You now have exactly 2 gallons in the 3 gallon jug, leaving 1 gallon of space.
    5. Fill the 5 gallon jug to the top again.
    6. Pour 1 gallon from the 5 gallon jug into the 1 gallon of empty space in the 3 gallon jug giving you exactly 4 gallons in the 5 gallon jug.

    Okay, that sounded easier when I wrote it. ;)
