1. Age
2. Death
3. Breath (not air)
4. Flip it
5. If there was no moon then there was a sun means it was daytime
6. Bar costs 1$, Mary has nothing
7. Apples are five but children are four
8. Put one apple near to the bridge( not on the bridge). Then walk with one apple to the other island and put the apple on the Grandma's Island without leaving the bridge and then go back towards the Apple Island and pick the apple placed near to the bridge and straight to the Grandma's house. After leaving the bridge pick the first apple and give both apples to the Grandma.
(bridge will not collapse because boy is travelling within the bridge, crossing means going to the other Island using the bridge)
9. She may have used poison on just one side of the meat piece (prepared this in kitchen in the boy's absence)
10. First Statement is wrong today is Sunday (actually Tuesday :D )
#7) I'm thinking that since all the other apples were handed out, the 5th child took the plate leaving the last apple on it.
age
time

4 turn up side down

6 1$
7 a child took also the plate with the apple
8 throw the apples or put the apples on a floating basket, tied with a rope, an that way he wasn't carrying the apples
9 gave his something he was allergic to
10 Thursday; the 4th statement is false
1) Our age
2) A secret. Once it's shared it's no longer a secret.
3) You cannot hold your breath for 10 minutes.
4) Flipping 666 turns it into 999.
5) The driver saw her because it was daytime.
6) The chocolate bar is $1
7) Every child took one apple except the last child. He took the plate. Hence the remaining apple is on the plate but every child has one apple
8) Cut the apples in half, the bridge can sustain itself with that much weight and wont collapse after a trip.
9) Put poison on one side of the knife which was used to cut the meat. One half of the meat touches poison and the other does not.
10) Today is Sunday; the first statement was false
