Here we can post and try to solve brain teasers.

A man buys coconuts at $5 a dozen and sells them at $3 a dozen. As a result of this he becomes a millionaire. How come?

Hint: He lost money on every coconut he sold.

He did not make money on any unrelated activity.

He was a billionaire (he lost money and went from a billionaire to a millionaire)?

That's correct. Hooray!

At a dinner to celebrate the end of a professional tennis tournament, the winner told the other competitors, "There is something here that which you can see but which I cannot see." What is it?

Hint: The winner had perfect eyesight.
What they can see that he cannot see is physical (not a point made or anything like that).
If any other of the competitors had won the tournament, they could not see this thing either.

I have no idea. You don't have to anwer this question, but i'm going to ask anyway.
Would it help at all to be familiar with tennis (rules, tradition, etc.), or is it not that in-depth?

Is it really that easy? You could even say forehead or neck or something, lol. Multi-answer questions suck.

You two are probably right, though. Lol.
