You can split a cube to 27 small equal cubes by cutting it six times, so you'll get the look of a rubik's cube. Is it possible to reduce the ammount of cuts, if you're allowed to move the parts after each cut? And if yes, then how? With a saw!

If it's a saw with two blades, then yes. Original answer is no: the small cube in the very center should have 6 sides, you can only make one side with single cut, all the other cubes would already have some of the sides ready.

*What room do undead avoid? The living room. Well, the living room would be like the dining room to them, wouldn't it? Or at least a pantry. I'm going with the solarium (sunroom).

If he's looking at his nice hand, his eye holds the beauty of the bee-holder.

* What happens when Pinocchio says: "Now my nose will grow." Hollywood answer: Any nearby "evil" computer/robot/android will explode (with over-the-top special effects) as its strict logic programming gets caught in a recursive loop of lie->truth->lie. Real answer: If he says it after he becomes a real boy, nothing ... except his nose will grow. All our noses continue to grow throughout our lives. If he says it while still a puppet...? I have no idea. (I learnt the last time not to say "beats me" ... that was a painful learning experience.)

? Nothing. Invoking the paradox in future tense cannot be a falsity since he cannot know the result.

Hollywood answer: Any nearby "evil" computer/robot/android will explode (with over-the-top special effects) as its strict logic programming gets caught in a recursive loop of lie->truth->lie. This is the most common scenario. Besides the Liar's Paradox, there's also the conflict between the present tense of "now" and the future tense of "will". This can cause a temporal implosion, forcing a server reset and a subsequent Groundhog Day effect which will last until Jiminy Cricket finally figured out how to break the cycle just before the end of the episode.

* Two men are playing chess. They play five games total. Each man wins three games. How? They're not playing each other....was my initial thought. But then I looked more carefully.
FIve games total means that even if they played against other people there's still not enough for each to win three times.
A v. C = A win A v. C = A win B v. C = B win B v. C = B win A v. B = not both with 3
So clearly there's some magical shenanigans going on here. I'm going with Temporal Anomaly Due To Poorly Plotted Time Loop.
