I don't care if you steal the riddles from somewhere on the net, I won't google them.

There are 20 people in an empty, square room. Each person has full sight of the entire room and everyone in it without turning his head or body, or moving in any way (other than the eyes). Where can you place an apple so that all but one person can see it?

Another new one: (I don't like the first line very much, I'll try to change it. )

Where nobody talks but everyone speaks,
Knowledge is given by sages and freaks,
Questions and answers come asked and unbidden,
From people all over with faces well hidden.

Another easy one:

A window to the past
Either large or small
Eastman idea one for the ages
Just look at that wall!

Above one person/on that person's head?

A picture? If that's right, the "Eastman" part gave it away.

Yeah, a photograph specifically. Couldn't think of a photography founder reference that wouldn't give it away.

The "just look at that wall" made me think projector/slides

chew on this one

A man has to get a fox, a chicken, and a sack of corn across a river. He has a rowboat, and it can only carry him and one other thing. If the fox and the chicken are left together, the fox will eat the chicken. If the chicken and the corn is left together, the chicken will eat the corn. How does the man do it?

You got it. I thought the first line sucked, I was trying to say you don't talk, but your words are seen.

Cook up the chicken and corn. Have a great meal with the fox. Travel with fox in rowboat across the river. Problem solved!

j/k

I know this one, so I won't answer.
