Try Solving these riddles :)

I object that only #2 is actually a riddle. The first one is a general knowledge question (and a quick search through the Scrabble word list confirms the answer); the last one is a maths question.

Agree with pjt33 (it's a joke). Or at least, you must say it's a word-riddle. :D
By the way, I only got Nr 3 right :D

I've heard #2 before, but I've never seen a butcher's shop with a clerk.
