Paradoxs
This girl goes into the past and kills her Grandmother. Since her Grandmother is dead the girl was never born, if she was never born she never killed her grandmother and she was born.
Lets say, hypothetically, that there was a bullet that can pierce through ANY type of barrier and, also hypothetically, there was body armor that can resist against ANYTHING. What would happen if that bullet hit that armor?
Some silly riddles now:
How many bricks does it take to complete a house made of bricks?
what eight letter word only contains one letter?
A man lays dead in an open field with nothing but a string laying beside him. The string isn't attached to anything....How did he die?
A black dog stands in the middle of an intersecton in a town painted black. None of the street lights are working due to a power failure caused by a storm. A car with two broken headlights drives towards the dog but turns in time to avoid hitting him. How could the driver have seen the dog in time?

Edit:The Green house is next to, and on the left of the White house.
You may have over looked that small detail, just because it's the left, doesn't mean it is next to the house. As a reader, you can't assume that the house is next to it unless it is given.
