A lone, old, wise wolf was walking through the snow on a blistery, cold winter's night. The wolf had not eaten in several weeks, and was on the verge of starvation. He was terribly thin and hungry. He soon came upon a pasture with a herd of sheep inside. Several sheep would provide the perfect meal, plump and promising. The wolf might not get another chance to eat for days. In his thin state, the wolf could easily slip through the fence surrounding the pasture and kill as many sheep as he pleased. But when he finished eating, he would be too big to slip through the fence again and the farmer might find him stuck in the pasture with the sheep.

How did the wolf manage to eat as many sheep as he liked and not be caught in the pasture by the farmer the next day?

A jogger was crossing a green pasture on a pleasant spring day when he caught sight of a magnificent black bull.
Unfortunately the bull also caught sight of him.
The jogger's speed increased to a steady 48 kmph until he reached the fence.
Just as he was about to leap over it he noticed that on the other side was a 2000 ft drop into the sea.
Having no time to change into swimming gear, he did a rapid U turn, passing the bull on his way.
On the way back his average speed was 32 kmph.
The bull's average speed in both directions was 40 kmph.
Did it catch him?
