1. Splitting or startling i assume there are more as well but not sure?
2. 6 and 6
3. He takes the goose across first, comes back. Takes the fox across and brings the goose back. Then the corn over. He comes back alone and takes the goose across
4. 7. The frog goes up 2 feet with each jump, but he jumps 3 feet in reality, so the 7th jump, starting at 12 feet, brings him to 15 feet, which takes him out of the hole because there's no slide back . (not really a riddle)
5. The remaining 11 toothpicks were arranged to spell the word 9 as in nine?
6. e, n, t.
7. 1 x 3 - 1 = 2 2 x 3 = 6 - 1 = 5 5 x 3 = 15 - 1 = 14 14 x 3 = 42 - 1 = 41 41 x 3 = 123 - 1 = 122 122 x 3 = 366 - 1 = 365. answer 365 haha
8. she was a sleeping nurse or a baby?
9. he changed his name to exit or open or something stupid like that at a guess
