There are 2 cops parked along a one-way street looking for traffic violations. They spot a taxi driver going in the wrong direction, yet they do nothing.

Why?

I know a 5-digit number having a property that With a 1 after it, it is three times as large as it would be with a one before it.

Guess the number?

Name one eight-letter word with 'kst' in the middle, 'in' the beginning, 'and' at the end.?

You see a boat filled with people, yet there isn’t a single person on board. How is that possible?

I have four wings but can't fly.
I express no emotions.
I am found on the exact spot every time you look.
I keep toiling away with a little sound.

Do you know what am I?

What does it mean?

A man hijacks an aeroplane transporting both passengers(8 of them) and valuable cargo. After taking the cargo, the man demands nine parachutes, puts one of them on, and jumps, leaving the other eight behind. Why did he want eight?

Can you count the number of matches in the picture below ?

You are provided with a grid (as shown in the picture). Can you fill the squares with numbers 1-8 in a manner that none of the two consecutive numbers are placed next to each other in any direction (vertically, horizontally or diagonally?)

How can you make the following equation true by drawing only one straight line: 5+5+5=550 ?
