1, They both weigh 1 pound. There will just be a lot more feathers.

2, You got me here. :( Uhm, he could tell the truth? Just because he is shot, doesn't necessarily mean he will die. :P

3, It will remain the same, water expands when it is frozen and the cube will not be fully submerged, the melted water will fill roughly the same space as the submerged part of the cube.

Here's mine;

Three travelers register at a hotel and are told that their rooms will cost $10 each so they pay $30. Later the clerk realizes that he made a mistake and should have only charged them $25. He gives a bellboy $5 to return to them but the bellboy is dishonest and gives them each only $1, keeping $2 for himself. So the men actually spent $27 and the bellboy kept $2 - what happened to the other dollar of the original $30?
