Riddles....

[trust187]

Always loved riddles just wondering if you guys have any good ones to share. I'll start it off with something I read on another forum.
R: There are 5 guys in a room, and a basket with 5 apples. How do you evenly distribute the apples and still have one left in the basket?

A: You give someone the basket also.

[ThatGuy]

That doesn't make sense.

"How do you evenly distribute the apples and still have one left?"

Perhaps if it read, "How do evenly distribute everything and still have one apple left." Then 4 guys have an apple, 1 guy has a basket, and 1 apple is left.

I know. Riddles are based on confusing people with the way they are said/written. Sometimes it's just blatantly dumb though.

hahahahaha. i don't get it.

[morbid]

Most of you will probably know this one...

A man and his son are driving in a car one day, when they get into a fatal accident. The man is killed instantly. The boy is knocked unconscious, but he is still alive. He is rushed to hospital, and will need immediate surgery. The doctor enters the emergency room, looks at the boy, and says...

"I can't operate on this boy, he is my son."

How is this possible?


Answer (Highlight to see): The doctor is the boys mother.

Here is my contribution, more of a thinking riddle than a question and answer riddle...

3 guys walk into a hotel. The receptionist tells them there is only 1 room available, and it is $30. The men each pay $10, and head up to their rooms. Later the receptionist realizes that the men were overcharged by $5, so the bellhop is instructed to take the men back their $5. On the way to the room, the bellhop realizes there is no way to split $5 between 3 people, so he pockets $2 before he gets to the room, and repays the men each $1.

Now, if each man is givin back $1, that means each man payed $9. Since the 3 men payed $9 each, 9x3 = 27, so the men payed $27 dollars total. If the bellhop put $2 into his pocket, that makes the total $29, where is the missing dollar?

:D

[DALAZ_68]

OSHA requires there be 1 ladder every 25yds in any hole/ditch that is higher than 6 ft deep


If a hole is 100yds in length...how many ladders are needed?

[SochBAT]

It went to one of the other men.

30 bucks initially.
minus 5 overcharge.

Lady HOLDS 25 on her.

3 bucks goes to teh dudes.
2 bucks goes to the bell hop.

Disregard the 9x3 because they didn't pay that much up front. they paid 30. Thats all that matters.

Weak sosss... here's mine:

you die and the devil says he'll let you go to heaven if you beat him in a game. the devil sits you down at a round table. he gives himself and you a huge pile of quarters. he says "ok, we'll take turns putting quarters down, no overlapping allowed, and the quarters must rest FLAT on the table surface. the first guy who can't put a quarter down loses." you guys are about to start playing, and the devil says that he'll go first. however, at this point you immediately interject, and ask if you can go first instead. you make this interjection because you are very smart, and you know that if you go first, you can guarantee victory. explain how you can guarantee victory.

there is not missing dollar, they were OVERCHARGED $5, so the initial $30 was already paid

[hitman]

That doesn't make sense.

"How do you evenly distribute the apples and still have one left?"

I know. Riddles are based on confusing people with the way they are said/written. Sometimes it's just blatantly dumb though.

it makes perfect sense if you think about it evenly. 4 guys get an apple, and one guy gets an apple in the basket. the apples are distributed evenly (1 apple per person) and there is an apple still in the basket.

this is a little confusing but dont overcomplicate it. this is the one i remember best as a kid.

you are in a brick building with two seperate rooms and and a hallway connecting them. there is only one door leading into the hallway for each room. there are no windows or other means of exiting the rooms and you cannot see into the the other room through the walls or by opening the doors.

there are 3 light switches in one room that work 3 light bulbs in the other. how do you know what switch goes to what bulb?

*EDIT*- you can only enter the room with the bulbs once

thanks yudalicious +1

you flip on a light switch, preferably one on either the left or the right for memory purpose....now you leave that swith on for a couple of minutes then turn it off, immediately flipping the middle switch. and right here is where you run into the other room....if the light is on then you know the middle switch is it. if the light is off then you feel the light bulb. if it's hot wor warm then you know the first switch you flicked was the correct one, if it is cold then you know the last switch is the right one.

LOL - what if I were to tip toe on top of the green dotted line? Anyway, your question was asking something different though - it says "1 ladder every 25 yards" is required, which is different from "you must be within 25 yds distance from a ladder at any given time," which is what your scenario is. Now I can go to sleep, all is well. Someone take a shot at the quarter placing riddle.

It's a visual trick. Watch the image carefully. The first triangular segment that's cut away is 8 wide, 3 tall (this is the upper left segment). The upper right segment is also 8 x 3. The lower segments each consist of a rectangular piece that's 3 x 5, and a triangular piece that's 2 x 5.

The key here is recognizing that the slopes of the triangular pieces don't actually match up. The upper segments have a slope of 3/8; the lower segments have a slope of 2/5. 3/8 <> 2/5. For the pieces to actually fit together the way they do in that picture, the slope of the upper segments (which is 3/8) would have to intersect perfectly with the corner 5 blocks over, 2 blocks down. It may appear to in the image, but it doesn't.

[yudalicious]

It's just a trick - if you were to do it on a gridded paper, it would not work out as the GIF shows.
Here's a hint for the quarter placing problem - think symmetry (and no, it has no tricks, and assume the devil won't screw you over regardless).

Here are my offerings:

1) A detective arrives at a crime scene. The Prime Minister has apparently been assassinated, shot in the head while sitting in his car. The windows are all rolled up, none of them broken. There is no gun, or gunpowder residue, on the inside of the car.

He was alone in the car, with all the doors locked, when he was assassinated, yet there is no evidence of any of the doors having been jimmied or opened at all.

The detective is able to solve the case without trouble. Why?

2) A king enters his castle after a long day of fighting wars. Tired, he goes upstairs to take a long, hot bath. He enters his bathroom and shuts the heavy, airtight oak door. As he closes it, the latch on the outside falls shut, locking him in. He pounds on the door, trying to get someone to hear him, but it's no use; his servants won't be upstairs for another few hours. He figures he may as well take his bath while he's in there, so he turns on the water. After a few minutes, he goes to turn the water off and finds that the taps are stripped.

The room is airtight, with no windows or ways out, the tub is filling up fast, and the rest of the room won't be far behind. How can the king avoid drowning?

[C. Senor]

i dunno because the switch is off

i dont get what you dont know....the purpose for leaving the switch on and then turning it off before you go check is that if it had been that switch the light bulb would be off when you go check it but the bulb would be hot because we all know after being on for a couple minutes a bulb is pretty hot.

Easy you turn one switch on for a long time, then turn it off, then turn another one and go into the other room.

The bulb thats off but is hot belongs to the first switch you turned on
The bulb thats on obviously belogns to the switch thats on
The bulb thats off but is cold, belongs to the switch you never touched.

Next riddle:

A dragon and knight live on an island. This island has seven poisoned wells, numbered 1 to 7. If you drink from a well, you can only save yourself by drinking from a higher numbered well. Well 7 is located at the top of a high mountain, so only the dragon can reach it.

One day they decide that the island isn't big enough for the two of them, and they have a duel. Each of them brings a glass of water to the duel, they exchange glasses, and drink. After the duel, the knight lives and the dragon dies.

Why did the knight live? Why did the dragon die?

you are correct sir.....give yourself a pat on the back from me.

answer for devil ? below just high light.

and i think i figured out the devil one....i'm going to assume the table you are playing on is round, because if it's square i dont see how you can come up with a solution. but in a round table one would assume it has perfect symmetry. so by going first and placing a coin in the middle you would be able to control the amount of free space that is left on the table. after the coin in the middle of the table is placed, no matter where the even number coins are placed there would be an opposite side to that space because of a round object's symmetry.

all that thinking and yudalicious answered before me....damn yous

[yudalicious]

all that thinking and yudalicious answered before me....damn yous

Sorry, I un-posted the answer, but it wasnt quick enough. You're absolutely right. I've been thinking about this riddle as well, and I think any shape where you can establish one axis of symmetry can work - though I may be wrong.

[C. Senor]

^i think it would only work for a round table because of its shape...a square or rectangular table would allow for 2 points of symmetry instead of just one.

[yudalicious]

^i think it would only work for a round table because of its shape...a square or rectangular table would allow for 2 points of symmetry instead of just one.

Yes, but you can choose to mirror it along the original intended axis - I always wondered why the orignal wording specified round, there must be a reason I suppose. Good job, now try the other one, should be easier.

[C. Senor]

is it because the knight stabbed the dragon with his sword.

Next riddle:

A dragon and knight live on an island. This island has seven poisoned wells, numbered 1 to 7. If you drink from a well, you can only save yourself by drinking from a higher numbered well. Well 7 is located at the top of a high mountain, so only the dragon can reach it.

One day they decide that the island isn't big enough for the two of them, and they have a duel. Each of them brings a glass of water to the duel, they exchange glasses, and drink. After the duel, the knight lives and the dragon dies.

Why did the knight live? Why did the dragon die?

...

Why did the dragon die? The knight gave the dragon a glass of ocean water. The dragon went and drank from well 7 to counteract and died.
Why did the knight live? Because he drank a combined glass of water from wells 6 and 2 to counteract what he believed was water from well 7?

[yudalicious]

98s14inaz - you got the first part right, the second should become very obvious soon.

[HellonFire]

The Knight lived becuase the Dragon did the same thing. The Knight also drank Ocean water.

Hellonfire - interesting, but no. Assume the dragon's plan is straightforward while the knight's has more guile.

There is a room with a dead body on the floor. A window is open with broken glass and water on the floor. What happened in this room?

I thought it was, A man hung himself in an empty room. There is nothing in the room, exept a man hanging a couple feet off the ground and a puddle of water under him. How did her get up to the rope to hang himself??

I figured out the other part of the Dragon and Knight one.

The Knight lives becuase he drinks from a poisned well before the duel, knowing the Dragon will give him water from #7, curing him.

I'm not really more than holes tied to more holes;
I'm strong as good steel, though not as stiff as a pole.

What am I?

[iROYAL]

Weak sosss... here's mine:

you die and the devil says he'll let you go to heaven if you beat him in a game. the devil sits you down at a round table. he gives himself and you a huge pile of quarters. he says "ok, we'll take turns putting quarters down, no overlapping allowed, and the quarters must rest FLAT on the table surface. the first guy who can't put a quarter down loses." you guys are about to start playing, and the devil says that he'll go first. however, at this point you immediately interject, and ask if you can go first instead. you make this interjection because you are very smart, and you know that if you go first, you can guarantee victory. explain how you can guarantee victory.

ok
so I came up with 2 answers

1. small table, so you can only put 1 coin on it. instant win!

2. You start by putting 1 quarter in the middle of the table. Second everytime the devil puts a quarter down, you copy exactly where he put it just on the other side. Therefore you will always have a spot to put it and he will run out of space first.

This one is easy peesy
A man was found dead on a sunday morning by his wife. She called the police and they came right away. They asked all the staff and the wife if they had an alibi. The wife said she was asleep, the butler said he was cleaning out the closet, the cook said he was cooking breakfast, the maid said she was getting the mail, and the gardener said he was picking vegetables.

The police knew right away who killed him and they arrested them straight away. Who killed him?

[jskateborders]

maid. no mail on sunday

SO I thought the answer was simple (EDIT: I think this is it):

The devil said "I'll go first"...so you stop him from laying down a quarter by asking him permission to go first. The result - You win...you've stopped him from putting a quarter down.

...

The REAL answer:The table is ROUND. There is no flat surface. You read round and thought CIRCULAR. But it says round, like a ball.

EDIT: ^^^ That's wrong...because the devil couldn't lay a quarter down flat, either.

I'm going back to my original thought.

so there are 4 guys. they need to cross a bridge.
there is only one ticket to cross and the bridge can
only hold up to 2 people at once.

person 1 crosses the bridge in 10 minutes
person 2 crosses the bridge in 5 minutes
person 3 crosses the bridge in 2 minutes
person 4 crosses the bridge in 1 minute.

since 2 can only cross at a time, it will only take
the person with the largest time to cross. so if person
1, the one that crosses in 10 minutes, crosses the bridge
with the person that takes 1 minutes, it is not 11 minutes.
its still 10 minutes. BUT one person needs to run back to
give the ticket so that 2 more people can cross.

how do you get all 4 guys across within 17 minutes?



no they cannot swim. this riddle has no stupid out of the box answer.

[HellonFire]

^^ It obviously counts time for the person running back across, correct?

Tyler

[gabe30]

yes.

if the person that takes 10 minutes crosses with the guy that takes 5 minutes, thats 10 minutes to cross. since one needs to go back, if 5 goes back, that adds 5 minutes.

your total is then 15 minutes

[HellonFire]

Ah, got it.

2 and 1 first across. 2 Minutes.
Send 2 back. 4 minutes
10 and 5 now cross. 14 Minutes
Send 1 back across. 15 Minutes
1 and 2 now cross. 17 Minutes

Haha, tough one.

Tyler

[gabe30]

nice. you're the only person i know thats gotten that

[spoolandslide]

person 3 & 4 cross in two minutes
person 4 goes back with the tickets

tally is now 3 minutes

person 1 & 2 cross in ten minutes

tally is now 13 minutes

person 3 crosses with two tickets

tally is now 15 minutes

person 3 & 4 cross again in two minutes

tally is now 17 minutes and all are across




haha
too bad i didnt look at your answer to the riddle before did it myself
dont worry, im not a plagiarist

Here are my offerings:

1) A detective arrives at a crime scene. The Prime Minister has apparently been assassinated, shot in the head while sitting in his car. The windows are all rolled up, none of them broken. There is no gun, or gunpowder residue, on the inside of the car.

He was alone in the car, with all the doors locked, when he was assassinated, yet there is no evidence of any of the doors having been jimmied or opened at all.

The detective is able to solve the case without trouble. Why?

2) A king enters his castle after a long day of fighting wars. Tired, he goes upstairs to take a long, hot bath. He enters his bathroom and shuts the heavy, airtight oak door. As he closes it, the latch on the outside falls shut, locking him in. He pounds on the door, trying to get someone to hear him, but it's no use; his servants won't be upstairs for another few hours. He figures he may as well take his bath while he's in there, so he turns on the water. After a few minutes, he goes to turn the water off and finds that the taps are stripped.

The room is airtight, with no windows or ways out, the tub is filling up fast, and the rest of the room won't be far behind. How can the king avoid drowning?


1. some one shot him up with an overdose of heroin in his head

2. he lets the water drain out of the bath tub

Four men were kidnapped, and they were buried to there neck. So only there head and the hat put on their head was above ground. They are buried like this #1 was on one side of the wall while the other three #s 2, 3, 4 were on the other like this:

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b385/SinisterSentra91/riddle.jpg

They were all facing the wall so that #1 and 2 can only se the wall, # 3 can see the hat color of #2, and #4 can see #2 and #3.

They were told there were two black hats and two white hats, and if one person get’s the right answer they will be set free. If that person guesses wrong they will all be executed. They cannot talk to eachother.

Which one can figure out the right answer?

I assumed 4 can see 3 AND 2.
highlight for answer person 3

The wording should be changed to only the first person to get it goes free, might help clear it up for some.

Wording has been changed, they cannot share the info. #3 is correct but why?

[yudalicious]

Explanation: 3 sees that 2 has a white hat. And he knows if 4 sees 2 white hats 4 will definitely say something and free himself. Therefore 4 must see 1 black 1 white hat, therefore 3 must be wearing the black hat.
