I googled this and found the answer here:

http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=5zErZjTcXzEC&pg=PA103&lpg=PA103&dq=Eight+chocolates+are+arranged+in+an+antique+candy+dish.+Eight+people+each+take+one+chocolate.+There+is+one+chocolate+remaining+in+the+dish.+How+can+that+be%3F&source=web&ots=xZhyylPUXX&sig=wmtWKNRlzB3w63p3m6219F2hQ6U&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=1&ct=result

Good one. I've seen this joke before and I'm glad to be the one with the answer Smiley So, the answer is below:

The last person to take a chocolate took the dish as well - therefore the last chocolate remained in the dish.

Oya, all clap for me  Wink

The antique candy dish is chocolate in colour, so it can be asumed that one chocolate is left. RIGHT?
