Last Problem:

Two boys who were playing in the playground, slipped on some wet grass and landed partly in mud and partly in wet grass. When they got up, one boy’s face was all muddy; the other’s face was clean. Yet the one with the clean face is the one who went directly to wash his face. Why?

Answer:

The boy with clean face saw the boy with dirty face, and assumed his face was dirty, too. The dirty boy saw the clean boy and figured he was clean, as well. So the one who thought he was dirty went to get washed up.”
