RIDDLES - WHY? Because They Are Fun!

mr18actor

...and I am stupid bored right now.

So -

you have a bag of corn, a chicken, and a dog. you must cross a river and get them all across, however - you can only carry one at a time. To make matters worse, you cannot leave the chicken with the corn, because it will eat it and you cannot leave the dog with the chicken for the same reason. How do you do it?

You take the chicken across
come back
take the dog across
bring the chicken back
take the corn across
come back
take the chicken across.

You are in a dark room with a candle, a lamp, a fireplace, a match and a stove. What do you light first?

take the chicken from the west to east
go back west alone
take the corn to the east side
take the chicken back to the west side
leave the chicken on the west side and take the dog to the east side to wait with the corn
go back to west side alone and get the chicken
then go back east, and everyone is across

you take the chicken over by itself.

then you go back and get the feed, leaving the chicken.

leave the feed over, get the chicken and take him back across, leave him there.

get the dog and take him over, leaving him with the feed.

go back alone and get the chicken and bring him over.

i did this in 5th grade lol

Tie the corn to the dog, and have him cross, then take the chicken and go across.

ChaseAlder

Cross the river with the chicken first. Leave it on the other side. Go back. Pick up the dog. When you get to the other side, drop off the dog and grab the chicken. Return to the starting point with chicken in hand. Drop the chicken off and grab the corn. Take the corn across and leave it with the dog. Go back and grab the chicken for it's final trip across the river.

Or, fry the chicken, cook the corn, and find something else for the dog to play with.

ChaseAlder

Holy cow... when I clicked reply there were NO replies. Haha.

Kill the chicken, pluck it, roast it, and serve it with the corn. Then take your dinner, along with your dog, across the river (make two trips if you're afraid of dropping something). Eat your fill, then head off into the sunset with the dog. That's how I'd do it, anyway.

A man is trapped in a room. The room has only two possible exits: two doors. Through the first door there is a room constructed from magnifying glass. The blazing hot sun instantly fries anything or anyone that enters.
Through the second door there is a fire-breathing dragon. How does the man escape?

he opens the door with the dragon behind it, while the man himself hides behind the door...and the dragon`s fire breath burns the door off of the magnifying glass, and while the dragon inhales for his next breath the magnifying glass fries the dragon, the dragon combusts...and then the guy marches out the door and over the body of the deceased dragon!

A man was found murdered on Sunday morning. His wife immediately called the police. The police questioned the wife and staff and got these alibis:
The Wife said she was sleeping.
The Cook was cooking breakfast.
The Gardener was picking vegetables.
The Maid was getting the mail.
The Butler was cleaning the closet.

The police instantly arrested the murdered. Who did it and how did they know?

AllTehBeers

Oooh.

The butler did it. Because they always do.

the wife. 1. because domestic violence is a big problem in general and 2. because she called immediately when she was "sleeping".

A father and son were driving and were in a car crash.
The father dies and the son needs emergency surgery.
The surgeon walks into the room, sees the boy and says...I cannot operate on him, he is my son.
