More riddles

Hello boys and girls,
Hope all of you are studying hard for next week's Listening and Composition paper.
How's the oral exam?

Here's another riddle for you to solve when you take a break from studying;

1) Bottleneck
Put a coin in a bottle and then stop the opening with a cork. How can you get the coin out of the bottle without pulling out the cork or breaking the bottle?


2) Crossing the River
Jake was standing on one side of the river, and his dog Scruffy was standing on the other side. "Come on Scruffy, come, boy!" shouted Jake. Scruffy crossed the river, ran to Jake, and got a treat for being a good dog. The amazing thing was that Scruffy didn't even get wet! How did Scruffy do that?


Something harder (clue is outer space)
3) The Last Three
Each letter below stands for the name of something. What should the last three letters be?
M V E M J S ? ? ?



The answers quite simple as in all mind games :)
