Using only addition, how do you add eight 8’s and get the number 1000?

888+88+8+8+8= 1000

This one i had no idea what was been asked, but the others are form 2 stuff.



A ship anchored in a port has a ladder which hangs over the side. The length of the ladder is 200cm, the distance between each rung in 20cm and the bottom rung touches the water. The tide rises at a rate of 10cm an hour. When will the water reach the fifth rung?

As the tide rise, so does the ship with its ladder.

For a non mathematical logical riddle;
In False land, all the inhabitants always lie. In True land, all the inhabitants always tell the truth. A stranger is trapped in a room that has two doors. One door leads to freedom, the other does not. The doors are guarded by a jailer from the False land and by another from the True land. To find the door to freedom, the stranger only can ask one question to one of the jailers, but he does not know which is from the True land. What question did he ask to save himself?
It is a curious fact that of all the illusions that beset mankind, none is quite as curious as that tendency to suppose that we are mentally and morally superior to those who differ from us in opinion.

'if i asked you which door the other jailer would tell me is the right one, which one will he point at?' no matter which of the two jailers he asks, they both will point at the wrong one. so, he should choose the opposite one.
