Five people went apple picking. Every person picked one apple. At the end of the day, there were five apples in the basket. Each person took one apple, yet there was still one apple left in the basket. No one put the apple back in the basket, no one left, and no one put in another apple. So how did this happen?

This is a classic riddle — and the twist lies in how the apples were taken.
Here’s the clever explanation:
One of the five people took their apple directly from the basket.
The other four took apples from elsewhere (e.g., from the trees or ground).
So:

• 5 apples were picked and placed in the basket.
• 4 people took their apples from outside the basket.
• 1 person took their apple from the basket. Result: 5 people have apples, and 1 apple remains in the basket.

Summary:

• 5 apples picked all placed in the basket.
• 5 people took apples only one took from the basket.
• So one apple remains.

@Sahil25012012 No, this is not correct. Refer to #10 for the correct answer. By the way, did you ChatGPT this?

Here's a simple one:
How can the number four be half of five?
When you write the Roman numeral for four, "IV", and then you take the top half of it, you're left with "II"
The Roman numeral for five is "V", and if you take half of it, you get "II"
So, the number four can be half of five when you look at their Roman numeral representation
