RNRC Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 Sorry if there's already a topic on this. I couldn't find one. A man is driving down a narrow road. There are no other cars on the road and there are no lamposts or lights. He hasn't got his headlights on and the moon is not out. The man stops the car when he sees a dead body laying in the road. How did he see them?
RNRC Posted October 27, 2006 Author Posted October 27, 2006 Correct. A mother has nine children. Half of them are boys. How can this be?
RNRC Posted October 27, 2006 Author Posted October 27, 2006 Correct. I'll do one more then let someone else have a go. John owes Robert 30p. He uses 2 coins to make up the 30p. One of them is NOT a 10p and one IS a twenty. What's the other one?
RNRC Posted October 27, 2006 Author Posted October 27, 2006 Correct! Denise makes a bet with Elaine. Denise says, I bet you $60 that if you sit in a chair, I can make you get up before I can run around it three times. I can't phisically touch you. She wins the bet. How?
Wes Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 She didn't specify how long she would take to run around the chair, so she could run around it twice, and then never run around it again. These are too easy.
RNRC Posted October 27, 2006 Author Posted October 27, 2006 I don't know how you're getting these so quick. I've stumped people for weeks on end on other sites. Have you heard these before? Well done though.
FLIPDUDE Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 Once while hiking up Mt. Rocky came across me a man with three sisters, each sister had 7 sons, 2 of the sisters had 8 sons and one sister had 5 sons, each son had 2 dogs, except for the sons of the last sister mentioned, who had 3 dogs, each dog mentioned had 2 puppies, how many people did I see hiking up Mt. Rocky?
Wes Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 Just the man. Everyone else wasn't there. Riddles are just something pretty simple with the words twisted around so it seems much more complex than it actually is.
FLIPDUDE Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 Just the man. Everyone else wasn't there. Riddles are just something pretty simple with the words twisted around so it seems much more complex than it actually is. Ah, if that's true, how come you're wrong? ^_^ That answer is incorrect
Wes Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 They were hiking down Mt. Rocky, you were hiking up.
FLIPDUDE Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 The answer is: None. He came across them, meaning they were going the other way. the question was how many people were hiking UP Mt. Rocky. ^Lol, you guessed it right in time, I had just posted the answer a second after you wrote it
Wes Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 I had to go back and reread it. I think the wording on the first part of your sentence is what screwed me up "Once while hiking up Mt. Rocky came across me a man with three sisters". It should probably be "along with" or something to denote they are actually there. As it's written right now, it's confusing. Ok, I'm done with the riddles for today! Someone else can try to answer some now!

RNRC Posted October 28, 2006 Author Posted October 28, 2006 A man has to walk accross a bridge. He is carrying two heavy beachballs. Each ways 100 pounds. The man also ways 100 pounds so that's 200 pounds in all. The bridge can onlt take 150 pounds. He doesn't throw one of the beachballs over so how does he do it?

Technically the answer is that he juggles them, so one ball is always in the air, but I cant help but wonder if the G forces inflicted byt he balls being tossed in the air or being caught replace the weight of the ball in the air
RNRC Posted October 29, 2006 Author Posted October 29, 2006 Yep, that's correct. One town has two dentists. One of them has sparkling, white teeth. The other one has rotten, yellow teeth. Which one would you make an appointment with?
Beate's Freak Posted October 29, 2006 Posted October 29, 2006 The one with yellow teeth, nobody has perfect sparkling white teeth so his are fake.
FLIPDUDE Posted October 29, 2006 Posted October 29, 2006 The one with yellow teeth, nobody has perfect sparkling white teeth so his are fake. you're right, but thats not why. the reason is that they cant preform dental work on themselves, that means the one wiht the good teeth has his teeth done at the one with the rotten teeth, making him the better dentist

A father is driving his son to school. The car is hit by a bus and the father is killed. The son is rushed to hospital. The surgeon takes one look at him and says "oh no, that's my son". How?
timetrial3141592 Posted October 29, 2006 Posted October 29, 2006 The surgeon is the boy's mother OR the surgeon is the boy's other father. Take your pick. A poem puzzle: My first, when in triplicate,comes before dot My second, in brain, but not thinking or thought My third is the third in the wall-jumper, true My fourth is in Yoshi and Mario, too My fifth is in Bowser and Koopa and old My sixth is the basis of life, so I'm told My seventh, in Goomba, Toad, mushroom, and grow My eighth is in shoulder, not head, knee, or toe My ninth is a letter that looks like a one My tenth is the opposite. Three-quarters done! My 'leventh is one in the stuff Bobby drank My twelfth is in Abrams but never in tank My thirteenth, in blue, red, green, yellow and pearl My fourteenth decided to give this a whirl My fifteenth, when inverted, came at the start My whole is the longest in Mario Kart Where helices, airtime, and jumps intertwine Don't go around three times. Twice will be fine. WHAT AM I?
