A postage stamp.
A completely black dog was strolling down Main Street during a total blackout affecting the entire town. Not a single streetlight had been on for hours. Just as the dog was crossing the middle line a Buick Skylark with 2 broken headlights speedily approaches his position, but manages to swerve out of the way just in time. How could the driver have possibly seen the dog to swerve in time?

The police were called to investigate a car that had some things stolen out of it. The doors were locked, the windows were rolled up. and no sign of a forced entry. How did the thief get in?

A basket contains 5 apples. Do you know how to divide them among 5 kids so that each one has an apple and one apple stays in the basket?

Leave one apple in the basket and give it to the last kid. You were close!

I live above a star, and yet I never burn; I have neighbors, and yet none of them turn. I am visited in sequence, first, last or in between; pqrs are my initials.
Tell me what I am?
