Yes that is correct, lol.
Here is a more difficult one:
A farmer went to his banker to borrow money to buy livestock. The banker made a deal with the farmer. He told the farmer that he would give him $100.00, and that the farmer would not have to pay back the money if he could buy exactly 100 head of livestock for exactly $100.00.
The only rule was that at least one of each kind of livestock -- cows, pigs, and sheep -- had to be purchased. Each cow cost $10. Each pig cost $3. And each sheep cost $0.50. How many of each kind of livestock did the farmer buy?

A man and his son were together in a car accident, the man died and his son was rushed to the hospital. The surgeon who was going to operate on the son said "I can't operate on him, he's my son". How could this be?
A dog leaps out of the window of a 20 story building and lives. How can this be?

Mindhunt, for #1, the surgeon is the boy's mother. For #2, the dog jumped out of a window on the first floor.

Ibrahim, I give up. I've come as close as 100 head of livestock, for $102. dollars, but I cannot get even steven on both sides.

A farmer needs to get across a river with his items. He has a chicken, a fox, and a bag of grain.
He has one boat. It is very small. He can only fit one item and himself in the boat at one time.
If he leaves the fox alone with the chicken, the fox will eat chicken. If he leaves the chicken alone with the bag of grain, the chicken will eat the grain.
How can he get all his items over without any of them getting eaten?

Ack, I was only using one cow, and trying to get my numbers with the pigs and the sheep. thanks for putting me out of my misery.
OK, now for the next one.
He takes the chicken across, comes back gets the grain, takes it over, brings back the chicken, picks up the fox, leaves the chicken, takes the fox over, which has the fox and grain now on other side, comes back for the chicken.
