Could someone post a good riddle? I am in the mood for some deep thought. Thanks.

Ok, so a woman has 2 children. Now a homicidal maniac tells her she can only keep 1. Which one does she let him kill?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

the one she adopted from Africa...

is one of them black or gay?

one of the kids is the homicidal maniac, so she tells him to kill that son (himself)

That's what I was gonna say but it seemed too easy.

I was also going to say one of the sons was named "One" but that seemed pretty far fetched too.

sw first. Here's a riddle for your studly ass. Who is your daddy? And no, I couldn't think of anything better.

Here's another one : maybe you already know the answer but here it goes...

You stop your car in front of a red building and you instantly know that you are ruined... WTF is happening??

Hint : It has NOTHING to do with fire or firemen...

SW doesn't have anything to do with the actual funniness of the comment, right? The intention is the only thing that matters?




How bout this...she keeps the one that is still alive. The other one is already dead so she chooses him? Reaching....give me the answer!

It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man.

Deep thoughts here.

Well I did some research and looks like Eddies riddle was BS (read: the first two responses were pretty accurate as far as what the correct answer is). Anyone have any REAL riddles?

it was a real riddle but here is another

a man is found dead around 53 bicycles. How did he die?

Combination overexertion and dehydration behind a schoolyard tree?




...I had a light stroke last year, but a full recovery is expected

Meh, that's an old one. The bicycles are playing cards and he was caught cheating, which is why there are 53 not 52.

I posted this earlier.

If my aunt had testicles, would she be my uncle?

Too easy. It's the stock trade building and his stocks just plummeted, which are shown in red.

duh.

Here's one:

Your are given the choice to go in one of three rooms (and you need to go in one of them, you can't wait outside). One room has a huge fire, one has a group of terrorists with guns, and one has lions who haven't eaten in 3 years.
what room do you go in?

answer bellow:























the one with the lions-if they haven't eaten in 3 years-they are dead

You're not supposed to tell the answer until people have actually guessed. That defeats the whole purpose.


Here: An audience watched as the music stopped and the blind man fell to his death. What happened?

Not quite but close enough...

Real answer is : you're playing Monopoly and just stopped your "car" in front of an opponent hotel = you're ruined.

a man pushes a car up to a hotel, pays a man, waits a little bit, and leaves. WTF is happening??


hehehe

Seriously. Stop posting.

Signed,

Everyone else here.

Meh. My answer made enough sense.


Who's got an answer for mine?

mines weak, but:

3 men go to hotel
Pay $10 each for room
Later manager realizes he's over charged the men $1 each.
He gives the bell hop a $5 bill and says: "Make change, and give each man back $1. You can keep the other $2 for your troubles"

bellhop pays each man back $1.

So, each man paid $9 for his room, and the bellhop kept $2.
That's $9 * 3 + $2 = $29

What happened to the other dollar?

It's quite obvious that his mom died of AIDS, and that his second cousin was gay.

Is this the answer that you are looking for?

you may be overlooking some details; but you are on the right track

The problem here is that each man didn't pay 9$ per room. They should have gotten 5$ in change. the 3$ they got back and The other 2 were kept by the bellhop. They in actuality payed 9.some decimal for their rooms.



This is not funny. That's all I have to say.

Heres a little math related "riddle" that I used to help Zach in school a few years ago. The teacher was quite impressed....


Beans: Ok Zach, run down to the liquor store and buy me 100- 24 oz. Coronas. Vinnie will sell them to you with no tax included if you pay with cash. I made an "over the fence" deal with him for $12 a dozen. How much cash will you need for the purchace?


Zach:____________________



EASY problem guys.... I'll check back with the answer

No. they paid $9 net for the room.

you did the math wrong, thats what happened to the other dollar.

it should be (9 X 3) + 3=$30

3 is how much the men got back, and what should go into the equation, the $2 is the bellhop's tip

Or, hotel has $25
Men have $1 x 3
Bellhop has $2
= $30

Anybody got any ideas about mine?

I'm thinking
I'm not so good at stuff like that

In some way the music was assisting the blind man and w/o it, he fell....but can't get any further

you have about 90% of it. Just figure out the place and it'll all make sense.

Isn't that the one where the guy is blindfolded walking on a tightrope and the music was circus music?

ding ding ding! We have a winner. Now put it all together.

he was ridng a by/unicycle across and it played music when wheels turned.
When wheel stop turning, you fall, and music stops

Not quite. He was a blindfolded tightrope walker who used the circus music to let him know when he was at the other side of the rope (when the music stopped, it was a signal that it was safe to step off). For some reason, the music stopped early, and he stepped off into nothing and fell to his death.

ok.
that's why I suck at these. I guess.
My answer actually tied together better.
Anyone can make a story up and give a couple details and call it a riddle

blah

the math is goofy here. hotel has 30$, 30 -5 +(3*1)+2 =30 no missing money.

if 1 guy paid for the room with 2 $20's then the manger gave the bell boy 15$ to make change and refund them the corected value. The bell boy would come back with 2$ again. 40 -3*9 = $13 refunded to the guy who paid for the room and 15-13 =$2 left for the bell boy. the goofy equation would be 9*3 +2 = 29
and $11 disapeared this time.
in reality 40 -15 + 13+2 = $40, no missing mobney.







here's a good riddle:

Four members of a band are walking to a night concert. They decide to take a shortcut, but must cross a bridge. Luckily they have one flashlight. Because of the varying size of their instruments, it takes each member a different amount of time to cross the bridge - it takes the first person one minute, the second person two minutes, the third person five minutes and the fourth person ten minutes. They must cross the bridge in pairs, travelling at the slower speed so if the one minute person went with the ten minute person, it would take a total of ten minutes. Since there is only one flashlight, one person must come back across the bridge, then another pair can cross. They only have 17 minutes to cross the bridge and still get to the concert on time. What order should they cross to get everyone across and get to the concert?

I got another where critical poker thinking will be usefull if you guys solve this one first. It's solvable.




Monopoly.



hmmm lets see, 100/12 =8.3. So 8 dozens costs 8*$12 =96$ for 96 Coronas. we need 100 coronas but the deal is only for each dozen Coronas, so +1dozen 96+12=108$

nice....


At $12 a dozen they would be $1 each....



100 beers= $100


The correct answer:

Zach- Ok dad, give me a C-note... but that wont be enough.



edit...


its a "over the fence" thing, meaning he could break the boxes. You took it that he could only buy dozens. Sorry and carry on....

but everybody knows as you decrease the number of beers you buy at once you increase the unit cost of eact beer. $/beer in a 6pack>$/beer in a 12pack>$/beer in a 24 case.



stars 10$ SnG 27 ppl, registering now

call them 1,2,5,10

1 & 2 cross, 1 returns: 3 mins.
5 & 10 cross, 2 returns: 15 min so far
1 & 2 cross: 17 min total

key: Get 5 & 10 across together while you have a 1 or 2 on other side

correct sir... I should have made it clear that Vinney would sell an even 100

The joke is supposed to be 100 eggs at .12 a dozen.


I used Coronas to spice it up but it bombed badly anyway....


I'm on #5 right now

don't know what that means...i was on #2 earlier but nobody wants to know that



well done actuary, well done.






There were 4 people sitting in a row, trying to win $50 from a riddle.

The one in front was wearing a red hat.
The second from the front was wearing a blue hat.
The third from the front was wearing a red hat.
The last was wearing a blue hat and is blind-folded.

Each of them were informed that they are all wearing a hat, the last person is blind-folded and that there are 2 red and 2 blue hats. if they can guess the color of their hat, then they win the prize.

There was a long silence, then one of them guessed the color of his hat correctly. Who was it?

(note that they can only see the person in front of them and are not allowed to turn around and see behind them.)

so 3rd person back only sees 2nd persons hat..to be clear?
otherwise it's pretty easy for #2

If you can see all hats in front, #2 would now his hat does not match #1 and thus would guess his is blue.
For if it were the same as #1's (red), #3 would speak up by now, knowing his was the other color..


if in fact #3 cannot see #1's hat along with #2's, then my answer does not make sense...

no he sees 2nd and 1st, 4th is blindfolded

"As I was going to St. Ives, I met a man with seven wives..the seven wives had seven cats, the seven cats had seven kittens, how many were going to St. Ives?" --Jeremy Irons

good.

then I edited and included the answer.

#2 wins

****************************



probably just Jeremy,

Ok actuary I gotta try harder...

A detective shows up at a crime scene where a person is found dead, hanging from the celling with a rope around their neck and a pool of water on the floor beath the deceased. the person was to short to jump and grab the rope and hoist themselves up. There is no chair, no ladder, no furniture near where the body is hanging. What seems like a homicide is actually declared a suicide by the detective, why?
