A blue car and a red car are driving down a straight stretch of road with no other traffic, no stop signs, no street lights. If the blue car is going 20 mph and the red car is going 40 mph how does the blue car pass the red car?

I met a man while going to St. Ives. And with this man were 7 wives. Every wife had 7 sacks. Every sack had 7 cats. Every cat had 7 kittens. How many were going to St. Ives?

What lives in winter, dies in summer and grows with it's
roots upwards?

They're going in opposite directions? Either that, or one of them's driving backwards.

This one I actually know! :D Kits, cats, sacks, and wives....but you alone were going to St. Ives.

Hmmm... I'll get back to you on that last one.

Yup, the cars were going in opposite directions! You get 2 cookies! Woo-hoo! :D

Here's a hint on the third one: It's not a plant, and it's something you associate with winter. It is something that grows down

Yeah, an icicle to be precise! :D But I know that's what you meant!
