POTUS in 1960? Dwight D. Eisenhower?
Why is that a puzzle?
Or is the solution, his name was "President"?

...no, his name was George W. Bush, but he wasn't president at that time!

Ah... yes

It's a totally different question from "Who was the American President in 1960?", is it not?

Last line is correct! (That is why they call it brain teasers...

)

Here is a new one:
A man was looking at a portrait. Someone asked him who was in the picture. He replied: "Brothers and sisters have I none, but this man’s father is my father’s son." Who is in the picture?

This is easy one, man is looking his own son's picture.

You are too good.... ok, let's play it harder now:

Seven men whent out into a field in the rain. Six of them got wet and one was left intierly dry. He didnt have an umbrella and didt hide himself from the rain how is this possible?

I have one too:

In the middle of a big dessert there is a house. In the house is absolutely nothing but... a man killed himself by hanging. He is hanging on a rope in an empty house. But he didn't use a chair because the room is empty. Outside is a big van, empty too. The question is: what did he take out of the van to hang himself. Remember the van and the room are empty.

Lots of ice I think. He stood on the ice and when it melted under him he did die then?
