I used to have to do riddles like this for job interviews... Thinking the problem through is what they want to accomplish... Here we go.
The maid transports the dog to the other island and rows back. The maid transports one of the sons to the island and rows back with the dog. The father takes his other son to the island drops him off and rows back. The mother takes the father to the other island and drops him off, mother rows back. The maid and the dog goto the other island and drop themselves off, the father rows back. The mother and father goto the other island, father gets off, mother rows back. The mother and a daughter goto the other island and the maid rows back with the dog. The maid then takes the reaming daughter to the other island drops her off and rows back. The maid picks up the dog and rows back to the other island where all family members have been safely transported.
^ I hope that makes sense, it does to me. What really would have made this hard would have been if there was a limit to how many times they could row back and forth between the islands.
*takes a bow*

This one made me think... I was focused on the what does the rain have to do with it part... The man is short, when he goes to work he can reach the ground floor button in the elevator... When he comes home from work he can only reach the 20th floor button and has to walk the rest of the way... but when it's raining out he can reach the 40th floor because he uses his umbrella to press the button. Fuckin idiot should always have an umbrella with him then cause that's quite a trek each day, and I'm good with that. LOL
I had to read the entire thread to get all the details surrounding this one fucker!!! But I'm the king of the these, so if there is no limit on the number of trips these are easily solved...
A missionary takes a cannibal across the river and drops him off and returns. A cannibal takes another cannibal accross the river and drops him off and returns. A missionary takes a missionary across the river, drops her off, picks up a cannibal. A missionary takes a missionary across the river, they both get off and a cannibal returns. A cannibal takes another cannibal across the river and drops him off and returns. A cannibal takes another cannibal across the river.
Damn that took me about 15 minutes to solve... JJEA!

I've been thinking about this one since just before the cannibal one and it's got me stuck... I think I'm thinking too hard... Trying to apply a nerdy perspective to an otherwise easily sovlable equation. Hrm.
Guess 1: You're water. Your color can change to black and white depending on the earths rotation relative to the sun and the refraction of light through you. You travel with the wind in the form of rain. You're edible because you're water, that's a given. And you could kill someone if used wrong in many different forms, drowning someone being the most obvious, but in light of recent events you could smash someones face in like the weight of a million bricks of concrete thus killing them in the form of a Tsunami.
Guess 2: Awww fuck it, h2o makes the most sense to me.
What's the answer mustynutz?
Edit: Damnit, this one is just gay... You're not a cloud because clouds don't kill people except when they're too low to the ground and cause traffic accidents and clouds aren't edible.
Edit 2: Okay I got it, you're a person, you're mother was white, father black, so you're mixed race... you're a transient and travel with the wind (metaphor here) as you please... You're edible, Mr. Dahmer said humans taste like chicken... And you could kill someone if they pissed you off... LMAO, WTF, why am I having such a hard time with this one. Maybe I should eat. Yeah, I'll eat, I just woke up.
