  5. There are three buildings standing next to each other. One is filled with orphans, the other with old people, and the third is a homeless shelter. One day an arsonist sets them all on fire. Sirens were loudly coming to the scene. People were screaming. Which building did the ambulance try to put the fire out at first?
  6. There was a road around a circular lake. A man and his brother each started in the same place and drove around the lake at exactly the same speed, but in opposite directions. The first brother went clockwise around the lake at 40 mph, and the trip took him an hour and 20 minutes. The second brother went counterclockwise around the lake–also at exactly 40 mph–but his trip only took him 80 minutes. Each traveled exactly the same distance: 53.33 miles. How is that possible?
