Brain Teaser #1

A 30 year old man married a 25 year old woman. She died at age 50
and her husband was so devastated that he cried for years. Ten
years after he stopped crying, he died. If he had lived to be 80,
how many years was he a widower?

25 years

He was 55 when she died and he died at 80, that would make 25 years. That he cried for so many years is irrelevant.

Heres one

If a man and a half can eat a cake and a half in a minute and a half, how many men would it take to eat 60 cakes in 30 minutes?
