Simple Puzzles

I have loved solving puzzles since childhood ... Here I would like to present some simple yet a lil tricky ones for you to solve. They need no pen or paper , try to answer them fast ... Lets see how many u score ... (I shall post the answers soon) ...

1. By pressing exactly three keys only, without pressing zero and without pressing any key more than once, can you get the number 'hundred' on the screen of an ordinary calculator ?

2. If U need 5 butts to make a new cigarette and hav 50 butts , how many cigarettes can be made totally ?

3. On the way to a water pond, a zebra met 6 giraffes. Each giraffe has 3 monkeys hanging on its neck. Each monkey has 2 birds on its tail. How many animals were going to water pond ?

4. A farmer divides Rs 1,00,000 equally between his sons. How much each son will get? (This seems unsolvable ... but read carefully and u can find the answer)

5. In cricket if every batsman is out to the very first ball he faces, who will be the “not out” batsman? (Assuming no run outs)
