New York
It took about 10 seconds after saying them all - then saying he is wrong there is no state -- then about 10 minutes to relook at all of them
then another 10 to humbly type that you are correct

I've been to more countries than you'll ever see.
I've been to church every Sunday.
I've been folded, pressed, even stuffed inside leather.
I've been dreamt about, coveted, and fought over.
People want me, yet despise me.
I have no true purpose except to travel.
I have no true mission in life except to be given and taken.
I have no true identity since I am but a clone.
I have no true name since I bear only the names of others.
People see my face and see another's face as well.
I am life to some.
I am death to others.
I am common as grass.
I am sometimes as rare as the perfect sunset.
People rely on me more than almost anything else.
What am I?

I think I got it.... you circle one of the 6's and turn it upside down to make a 9... then you just circle 3 1's to make 12....
NO?:D

Castle
A square medieval castle on a square island was under siege. All around the island, there was 10 metres wide water moat. But the conquerors could make foot-bridges only 9.5 metres long. Nevertheless a wise man was able to figure out how to get over the water. What do you think was his advice?
(There's a place on the other side to put the bridge against, not just a sheer wall. Water moat has square corners - that section of the moat is about 14.1 metres wide.)

You want to send a valuable object to a friend. You have a box which is more than large enough to contain the object. You have several locks with keys. The box has a locking ring which is more than large enough to have a lock attached. But your friend does not have the key to any lock that you have. How do you do it? Note that you cannot send a key in an unlocked box, since it might be copied.

Place a board across the corner and then the board from that board to land. ????

Overspilling water VI.
Imagine having three bowls. In the bowl A (8 litres capacity) are 5 litres of water. In the bowl B (5 litres capacity) are 3 litres of water. In the bowl C (3 litres capacity) are 2 litres of water.
Can you measure exactly 1 litre, overspilling only 2 times?

You attach a key, send it to your friend, then when your friend gets it they attach another key and send it back. Then once you get it you take off your key and send it back to your freind so he can unlock it himself with his key....
It isn't really a good one but its ok........
