RIDDLES - WHY? Because They Are Fun!
Replies

I have a couple of my own - first, a classic...
There are 4 men who have to get across a bridge to catch the midnight train.
It is night time and it is pitch black.
They have a torch without which they can't cross.
The bridge is only strong enough to carry 2 of them at a time.
The 4 men have various levels of fitness such that:
Man A can cross in 1 minute
Man B can cross in 2 minutes
Man C can cross in 5 minutes
Man D can cross in 8 minutes
The crossing time depends on the slowest member, eg if Man A goes with Man D, it takes 8 minutes as even though Man A can cross in 1 minute, they must both remain together with the torch.
It is currently 23:45 so they have precisely 15 minutes to get across to make the midnight train.
How could they all get across the bridge, always using the torch to light the way?
AB, Aback, CD, B Back, AB
2 + 1 + 8 + 2 + 2
Why is that a 'Riddle' ? or are you really gonna F me off my saying the torch can stay with the group at the beginning and be shined at the bridge - I hate that kinda thing!

And ok, since that got solved...
There are 2 trolls guarding a door each. One leads to eternal happiness, and one to hell. Once you have passed through there is no going back.
One of the trolls will always tell the truth, the other will always lie. However, you don't know which is which.
You are allowed 1 question to determine which door to go through. What should you ask and to whom?0 -
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.
This was my reply as well.. BBQ chicken and grilled corn on the cob makes for a great dinner.. and the dog will swim with you across the river.. simple.. LOL0 -
Oooh saw this one with the trolls on TV recently! Think you have to ask the liar if he's telling the truth or something like that0

Ask either troll (doesnt matter which one), what color are my eyes?.. you'll either get the truth or a lie.0 -

But then how would you know which door to choose?0 -

First think of the person who lives in disguise,
Who deals in secrets and tells naught but lies.
Next, tell me what's always the last thing to mend,
The middle of the middle and the end of the end?
And finally give me the sound often heard,
During the search for a hard-to-find word.
Now string them together, and answer me this,
Which creature would you be unwilling to kiss?0 -
are all three women pregnant? 3 women 3 kids 3 fetus?0

Read this sentence:
FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE-
SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIFIC
STUDY COMBINED WITH
THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS.
Now count the F's in that sentence. Count them ONLY ONCE.
Do not go back and count them again.0 -

You are in a dark room with a candle, a lamp, a fireplace, a match and a stove. What do you light first?
Well if there is no power/ignition for the stove, the match, I guess??
You find a cabin on the side of a hill. The cabin is full of people. They are all dead. How did they die?0 -
Wait until night and go out the first door. Thank you for playing!

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?
The maid? No mail on a sunday??0 -

He lives on the South Pole?
You are driving a bus. There are 8 people on that bus.
4 get on at the first stop and 3 get off.
No one gets off at the second one and one person gets on.
5 people get on at the third and at the forth, you are flagged down but it's a mistake and no one gets on or off.
Now that you've done all of that math,
What's the bus driver's name?0 -

The maid, there's no mail on Sundays.
Weak. It was Sunday morning. If the staff is only there in the morning and afternoon and the mail comes late on saturday, it is plausible that the mail is retrieved on Sunday morning. Weak *kitten* riddle.0 -

Being Asian I'd eat the chicken and the dog and plant the corn....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?
