Question Submit Your Tricks

I'm always looking for good riddles to ponder over. I'll post this one (kind of a riddle) to start. There aren't any set rules, but to keep order, the person that answers the question should add one of there own in the same reply. Again, this isn't required, but I'll bet there are millions of them out there, just waiting to be shared.

Riddle:
A woman gives birth to seven children. Exactly half of them are boys. How is this possible?

4 boys = (3 boys + one woman)

I'm too busy to post another one, so anyone can have a go ...

The answer I was given was that all of her 7 children are boys. That was what I was expecting. Good run though!

Here's another (and this one can have a few different answers):
Two cars suddenly made an abrupt stop at the park's gate. Seven men got out of the two cars and were makeing their way along the foot path when it began to rain. Six of the seven men began to walk faster to escape the rain. The seventh man didn't even bother, yet he was not touched by one drop of water. No raincoats or umbrellas were used. Since all of the men arived at their destination together how did the one man stay dry?

Correct. He was in a coffin. Kind of morbid, but entertaining nonetheless.

It looks as though this string was unsuccessful. I'll try agian another time.
