They don't. Cuba is an island.

Before the days of motor cars, a man rode into town on his horse. He arrived on Friday, spent three days in town and left on Friday. How is that possible?

Here's one I know, though you may have already heard it.

Four smart gnomes are standing in line with all faces pointed in the same direction. They all carry a hat, but they do not know their color. They only know that there are two red and two green hats. The first gnome stands behind a wall and does not see the others. The second gnome is able to see the hats of the third and the fourth. The third only sees the hat of the fourth, and the fourth gnome does not see any hat at all.

The gnomes would like to know which hat they wear without checking their own. When a gnome has figured out which hat he carries, he will immediately tell the others. Suppose that the first gnome wears a red hat, the second a green one, the third a red one and the fourth a green one. Which gnome will be the first to figure out?

the riddles

1. four men are standing in a straight line, all are facing the same direction parallel to the line they stand in, they can only look straight ahead, they cannot talk to each other, two men have black top hats and the other two have white top hats, the fourth and last person in the line is separated by a massive concrete wall so no one can see him, they are being held captive until one of them can determine the colour of his hat. how do they escape.

2. youre in a COMPLETELY SEALED room, there are no openings or flaws in the wall (think 'metre thick walls of gold'. not literal). you have a table and a mirror, how do you escape? (by the way there is light)

3. there is a bridge, in front of the bridge there is a massive sign that says "DO NOT CROSS" in big bold letters, there are several sharp eyed, intelligent, skilled gaurds in front of said bridge. this is true for both sides. you (a perfectly normal human citizen) simply cross the bridge(without doing anything else) and no one tries to stop you even though you are noticed. why?

4. what starts with an "e", ends with an "e" and has one letter in it?

they get progressively easier

1 is easy, one of the guys takes off his hat, looks at it then says the colour....
and I have already read the answers for the other two...
