Riddle:
I am known everywhere as a criminal, yet I have never done anything illegal. I always have an inside angle on you, and there are two of me for every one of you. What am I?
Answer: I am... the crook of an elbow! The crook is called a crook (obviously), and as your arms are on the side of your body, the insides of your elbows most nearly always have an inside angle on you; it's not psychological at all! And for every arm is an elbow, so two elbows means two crooks of an elbow per person.

Riddle:
Two schoolgirls were traveling from the city to a dacha (summer cottage) on an electric train.
"I notice," one of the girls said "that the dacha trains coming in the opposite direction pass us every 5 minutes. What do you think-how many dacha trains arrive in the city in an hour, given equal speeds in both directions?"
"Twelve, of course," the other girl answered, "because 60 divided by 5 equals 12."
The first girl did not agree. What do you think?
Answer: If the girls had been on a standing train, the first girl's calculations would have been correct, but their train was moving. It took 5 minutes to meet a second train, but then it took the second train 5 more minutes to reach where the girls met the first train. So the time between trains is 10 minutes, not 5, and only 6 trains per hour arrive in the city.
