What is as light as a feather, but even the world's strongest man couldn't hold it for more than a minute?

7. I have three letters. I read the same forward and backwards. I know you'll get the answer, I know you'll see. It's a word that is important to you and me. What word am I?

I have four sides. Anyone can calculate my area if they come to know the length of any one side of mine. I have four right angles within me. Which shape am I?

Three people check into a hotel. They pay $30 to the manager and go to their room. The manager finds out that the room rate is $25 and gives the bellboy $5 to return to the guests. On the way to the room the bellboy reasons that $5 would be difficult to split among three people so he pockets $2 and gives $1 to each person. Now each person paid $10 and got back $1. So they paid $9 each, totaling $27. The bellboy has another $2, adding up to $29. Where is the remaining dollar?
This is a nice nonsense. Each guest paid $9 because they gave $30 and they were given back $3. The manager got $25 and the difference ($2) has the bellboy. So it is nonsense to add the $2 to the $27, since the bellboy kept the $2.
