Here's one:

I've got 2 coins in my pocket that add up to 35 cents, but one of them is not a quarter. How is this possible?

You have a quarter and a dime. Only ONE of them isn't a quarter.

That's easy...you have a quarter and a dime...the one that's not a quarter is the dime.

Only one color, but not one size,
Stuck at the bottom, yet easily flies.
Present in sun, but not in rain,
Doing no harm, and feeling no pain.
What is it?

A murderer is condemned to death. He has to choose between three rooms. The first is full of raging fires, the second is full of assassins with loaded guns, and the third is full of lions that haven't eaten in 3 years. Which room is safest for him?

The 3rd room. If the lions haven't eaten in 3 years, they're dead.

Okay.

A tree will only grow so tall. That's it's half-life. After that, it only gets more rings until it dies. Its branches dance in the breeze, and it breathes, but not the way you and I do.

That help?

The last part I get, but the first line still doesn't make sense to me. Oh well

Trees are essentially dying until they reach maturity. At which point, they don't grow any taller but may still "live" after reaching maturity. Trees, unlike humans, have generating, not regenerating systems. Once a cell on a tree dies, its parts and the cell itself remain dead. However, new cells and cell parts (leaves or needles) can still grow (live) but will be in a different spatial position.

I hope this helps.
