Blue Paint!
I am weightless, but you can see me. Put me in a bucket, and I'll make it lighter. What am I?

Which weighs more, a pound of lead or a pound of feathers?
But... here's a good one.
Quote:
There's this unusual little bar, where you can get a free beer if you know the secret code.
The secret code works like this: You sit down at the bar. The bartender tells you a number. And you tell him another number. If it's right, you get a free beer.
For example, a customer goes up to the bar and the bartender says, "Six." The customer says, "Three," and he gets his free beer.
The second fellow goes up to the bar, and the bartender says, "Twelve." The customer says, "Six," and he gets his free beer!
A third customer sits at the bar, and the bartender says, "Fourteen." The customer says, "Eight." He gets a free beer.
You're sitting there. The bartender turns to you and says, "Twenty-two."
What do you say?

Sorry I passed out last night. The ambien kicked in.
Nine was the right answer, but ten was close enough considering the dash.
As for your triangle problem quinn...
Are the shapes not really drawn that way? Is the graph in the back ground just there to confuse us, and the green triangle is really just four squares long?
I traced the bottom triangle on to a piece of paper on my screen. When compared to the top triangle the bottom triangle seems larger by a tiny amount, even though the pieces seem the same size. If I had a printer I'd print it and cut them out to compare.
Is the hole created by making the bottom triangle slightly larger? Enough to muster up one empty square?

I'll do an easy one and a hard one. I loved riddles as a kid, and was smarter than I am now, so I could figure out all kinds of logic puzzles. I was only in like 5th grade. My teacher once gave me one very similar to this
Hard one: There is a truth teller (always tells the truth), a liar (always lies), and one that sometimes answers truthfully and sometimes lies. Each man knows who is who. You may ask three yes or no question to determine who is who. Each time you ask a question, it must only be directed to one of the men (of your choice). You may ask the same question more than once, but of course it will count towards your total. What are your questions and to whom will you ask them?
Easy one (if you can't get this you're dumb): three boxes are all labeled incorrectly, and you must get the labels right. The labels on the boxes read as follows:
[box 1] nails [box 2] screws [box 3] nails and screws
To gain the information you need to move the labels to the correct boxes, you may remove a single item from one of the boxes. You may not look into the boxes, nor pick them up and shake them, etc.
Can this be done? If so, how? If not, why not?

Yeah I can tell just by looking at them that the angle on the bottom one is slightly shallower.

hey u r not supposed to double post brain teasers b4 the last has been solved (see OP)! 
this could lead to serious brain damage and possibly coma or even death...
consider this your final warning mike

u pick one out of box 3. whatever it is (nail or screw) means it is in that box coz all boxes are incorrect (so the box cant have nails & screws).
then u swap the last two labels.
