There was once two Marines standing guard on opposite ends of the ship. One was looking west, one was looking east...but they could both see each other clearly. (No, the ship is not on the North/South Pole)

They are looking across the ship toward their respective cardinal direction? Man, oh man....I think I've got this one too!

You guys are good...I have to remember some tough ones now:

Two girls are born to the same mother, at the same time, on the same day, in the same year, but they are not twins. How is this possible?

How did they manage this?

Hehe, no, the girls aren't twins...

They are two out of X (triplets, quadruplets, quintuplets, sextuplets, etc...)

3 sided pyramid:
stand 3 pencils against each other, and connect the base of each pencil with the remaining 3 pencils. You have 3 triangles in a virtical orientation, and 1 triangle in a horizontal orientation, all the same size.

Got one for ya. Hypothetical situation.
You have been captured by an evil genious. He has you at a table with a blindfold on. He says out loud, "There are three of you at this table. Upon your each of your heads I have placed a hat. The hat will be either white or blue. The combination of hats could be anything except for all white." He then takes the blindfold off of you and says "I want to know the color of the hat on your head. If anyone of you sends any kind of signal (no talking) I will shoot you all. If any one of you guesses wrong, I will shoot you all. And if no one answers in three minutes, I will shoot you all. What is the color of the hat on your head?" Now, since you are all hard core and stuff, you are about to jump up and take this guy out. But, for the sake of the riddle you decide to play along. You see that each of your counterparts as a blue hat. After 2 minutes and 50 seconds no one has said anything. What is the color of the hat on your head?

Put bag 3 inside bag 4, bag 2 inside bag 3, bag 1 inside bag 2, and all of the tennis balls inside bag 1. Nine tennis balls in each bag.

 

[VAmookie]

you take the hat off your head and look at it (doesnt say youre tied or that he will kill you if you do that)

No, she is walking.
