If Pinochio said my nose will grow right now, what would happen ?
I laughed when I read this one. Here is my answere:
+ Show Spoiler +
His nose would grow and then shrink and then grow and then shrink over and over. This process would speed up over time and then:
OUR UNIVERSE WOULD EXPLODE! And a giant black hole will be created that will suck up all the other universes.
You are lucky i traveled in time and told him not to say that. ;-P

You have a jug that holds five gallons, and a jug that holds three gallons. You have no other containers, and there are no markings on the jugs. You need to obtain exactly seven gallons of water from a faucet. How can you do it?
Second Problem: You need exactly four gallons. How do you do it?

First one:
+ Show Spoiler +Fill up the three gallon with water, pour over to the five gallon jug. Now fill the three gallon jug again, and pour into the five gallon until you can't fit any more, then pour the five gallons out. Now you have one gallon of water in the three gallon one, and the other one is empty.
Pour the one gallon of water over to the five gallon jug, then fill the three gallon jug and pour over to the five jug again. Then fill the three gallon again.
Now you have four gallons of water in the five gallon jug, and a full three gallon jug.
Second one:
+ Show Spoiler +Same, just don't fill up the last three gallons

+ Show Spoiler +His nose would grow, as yours doesn't have the ability to grow (or so I suppose).
It is ambiguous as to whether "my" refers to Pinoccios or yours. If it refer's to Pinoccio, then we can't actually know.

Seven Gallons:
Fill 5 gallon jug. 5 Gallons / 0 Gallons
Pour 5 gallon jug into 3 gallon jug. 2 gallons / 3 gallons
Pour out 3 gallon jug and pour rest of 5 gallon jug into 3 gallons. 0 gallons / 2 gallons
Fill 5 gallon jug. 5 gallons / 2 gallons for total of 7 between the 2.
Four gallons:
Fill 3 gallon jug and pour into 5 gallon jug. 3 gallon / 0 gallon.
Fill 3 gallon jug and pour into 5 gallon jug to fill. 5 gallon / 1 gallon.
Empty 5 gallon jug and pour 3 gallon jug into 5 gallon jug. 1 gallon / 0 gallon.
Fill 3 gallon jug. 1 gallon / 3 gallon for total of 4 between 2.

+ Show Spoiler +His nose would grow, as yours cannot. He'd be lying. + Show Spoiler +You actually messed up the riddle. It's supposed to be *his* nose growing, not yours. That would be the paradox or impossibility or back and forth nose growth lol.

No context in any fable or movie has ever had the nose growing effect result from future predictions. Nothing would happen.

you are presented with 2 doors. one has millions of dollars behind it and the other has a lion that will eat you behind it. there are 2 guards in front of the doors that know what is behind the doors. one of them always tells the truth and one of them always lies, but you don't know which is which. You can only ask one question. What do you ask?

Took me like 2 minutes.
Solution:
+ Show Spoiler + You ask "What would your brother say if I asked him behind which door the million dollars are?".
You will get the door where the dragon is.

^ I'll let someone do the liar puzzle that hasn't heard it before.
Here's one from me.
A man is lying dead in the middle of a desert. He is entirely naked and shows no signs of violence, such as stabbing wounds, strangling, bullet wounds etc. The sands of the desert have not been disturbed by weather in a long time, and tracks would show for a long while. Yet, there are none that lead to or away from the body. The only object with him is a broken match stick, held tightly in his grip. How did he die?
+ Show Spoiler [hint 1] +What do people use matches for, besides making fire?
+ Show Spoiler [solution] +He was traveling with a companion in a hot air balloon, when the balloon started losing altitude. They started throwing off everything with weigh, including their clothes, but it wasn't enough. They then drew short straws, and the one with the broken match stick had to jump off the balloon, to his death, saving the other companion.

EZY ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Solution:
+ Show Spoiler + If I ask you behind which door the money is not, what would the majority of you answere? And that is the door with no money.
