Lumps of Sugar
Three men each had a cup of coffee. Each man put an odd number of lumps of sugar in his coffee - twelve in total. How many lumps of sugar did each man take?

The first man took one, the second man took one, and the third man took ten lumps."But," you protest, "ten isn't an odd number!"
Oh, I don't know about that - do *you* know anyone who takes ten lumps of sugar in his coffee?
