Nope, guess again!

They're kinda hard to get at first, unless you're in the right mindset.

A black man is walking down a narrow road. He is wearing dark clothing. The lamp posts arent switched on. Around the corner, there is a man driving a car. He is drunk. His headlights aren't on and he is driving all over the road. But when the drunk driver takes the turn he sees the black man and swerves out of the way.

How did the driver see him?

He used a block of ice

The King of Moo

Four men, Mr. Pink, Mr. Blue, Mr. Red and Mr. White enter a sauna.

Mr. Pink brings an apple in with him.

Mr. Blue brings in a thermos flask.

Mr. Red brings in his iPhone.

Mr. White brings in a coffee in a styrofoam cup.

The room is locked for half an hour after the men enter. There is no-one else in the room, and no way to get in or out.

When the door is opened after half an hour, Mr. White is found dead due to a number of stab wounds. The other three deny killing him. The police check the CCTV and confirm that no-one entered or left the room.
There's no sign of a murder weapon in the room.
Mr. Pink's apple hadn't been touched and has no sharp points on it.
Mr. Blue's flask is equally blunt, and is empty with no hidden compartments whatsoever.
Mr. Red's iPhone is also too blunt to have been used as the weapon and has nothing hidden on it.
Mr. White's coffee has also been untouched and obviously conceals no sharp objects.
None of the above objects have any traces of blood on them.

Who killed Mr. White, and how?

Okay, this one is a bit... dark, but we'll give it a go.

They're these Japanese riddles that I saw online ages ago.

So basically there's an elevator that can hold a maximum of 12 people.

However, one morning when twelve (Average weight and height) people get onto the elevator, the thing refuses to move and complains that its passengers have exceeded the weight limit!

Why is this?

At least one person was already in it

Mr Blue had a shard of ice hidden in his thermos flask. He stabbed Mr White and the ice melted.

Mr.White has an iPhone 3GS

He sees that Mr.Red has an iPhone 4.

Mr.White breaks off his own erect penis, eats the flesh off and stabs himself to death with it. He'd rather that than to be seen with an out of date iPhone!

Are the 12 people morticians and transporting a dead body?

Mr Blues Thermos contained a cocktail of lubricant and Bubble Wrap
He has stabbed the victim with a six inch stilettoe and secreted it up his cadburys canal using the contents of the thermos

Incredibly close, and you're going to get it anyway unless I keep this dragging on.

There's a dead body on top of the elevator.

Somebody done a Hannibal Lector on it?

The King of Moo

A detective's unpacking his stuff in his new apartment, and hasn't met any of his neighbours yet.

From an apartment downstairs, he hears a woman scream "JOHN NO!" followed by a gunshot.

He runs down and in an apartment he finds a woman dead on the floor with a gun beside her.
Also in the room is a doctor, a lawyer and a builder. He doesn't know any of them and none of them are wearing I.D badges, yet he immediately arrests the lawyer.
Why?

Sindri

The lawyer is a man.

I think the backstory was that someone had gone missing. It's Japanese in origin, so the broken English makes it seems a little eery too.

I thought "their body" was sufficient to suggest that they were dead .

You should win a penis too

MistyCheese

A woman enters the lift every day to go to work. In the evening she gets into the lift again to get to her flat. If it's a sunny day she will only get the lift halfway to her storey. If it's a wet day she will take the lift for the whole journey.

Why?

Well, I didn't want to just come out and ask for one, but now that you mention it, I could always use a spare...

She's a dwarf, and when it's raining she'll have an umbrella to hit the proper floor number...

The upper floors are somehow exposed to the elements, like she has to take the fire escape or something?

Why?

The "lift" is not an elevator, but a car pool with a friend?

In the sense that Irish people would "Get a lift with someone"?
