A man wanted to enter an exclusive club but did not know the password that was required. He waited by the door and listened. A club member knocked on the door and the doorman said, "twelve." The member replied, "six " and was let in. A second member came to the door and the doorman said, "six." The member replied, "three" and was let in. The man thought he had heard enough and walked up to the door. The doorman said ,"ten" and the man replied, "five." But he was not let in.
What should have he said?

Carnival
A lady was at a carnival and went to the booth of the Amazing Psychic.
The Amazing Psychic told her, "If I can write your exact weight on this piece of paper then you must give me 20 but if I cannot I will give you 20."
The lady looked around the room. There were no scales or anything else that could be used to find her weight. She agrees to the bet - certain that the Amazing Psychic could never guess her weight exactly.
In the end the lady had to pay the Amazing Psychic. 20. How did he win the bet?

Not a zebra?
I am black and white, but not a zebra I can be flat as a paper, or sharp as a knife
I flip open and closed, yet I am not a door
I can be quiet as silence, and yet loud as an orchestra.
I often appear in cartoons, killing a few
What am I?

What am I?
If you break meI do not stop working,
If you touch me
I may be snared,
If you lose me
Nothing will matter.
