? - Question mark

I took a second look at the revolving plastic display – RM1.20, Oh!. He just chuckled while I topped up the amount. I thought the way he asked was ingenious. Somehow telling but not telling… thus reminding me of these puzzles…

1. What do the dead eat, that the living will die if they eat it too?

ANSWER: Nothing.

2. I can be of any color you imagine. You see me in everyday life. Look around now, you will see me. What am I?

ANSWER: Paint.

3. How is it possible that a person born right outside your house (assuming that you live in Malaysia), whose parents were also born in the exact same place, is not born a Malaysian citizen?

ANSWER: 1) All of them born before Malaysia declared independence. Eg. Year 1900. 2) Animals…
