    Here's one for you: You are standing by a flowing river with two containers a 3 litre and a 5 litre. How do you measure out 4 litres using these two containers ??

    Fill up the 5 litre container, use that to fill the 3 Ltr container and then empty the 3 Ltr container. Then pour the remainder of the 5 Ltr container into the 3Ltr container.

    Again fill up the 5 Ltr container and use that to top up the 3 Ltr container. The remainder in the 5 Ltr container is 4 Litres.

    I think it must be "hands" as you wring your hands when you are in woe, but I'm not sure - you could use a mechanised cultivator to hoe a row and I'm sure you can kick somebody to death (but is that slaying?).

    I'll go with hands

    Ok, I sort of made this up, so I'm not sure if it will work or not.

    What has 2 legs but only uses them when resting?
