3. Monkeys can't count.

You forgot half the Egyptian riddle... It goes "What walks on four legs at dawn, two legs during the day, and three legs at dusk"

Anyway, it is a person: Crawling at birth, walking upright through life, and hobbling with a cane later.

I know. The one I posted is the parody of the Egyptian riddle in Pyramids, the Discworld novel.

It starts off with the sphinx giving the proper riddle, but the guy he's addressing picks holes in it.

My sister gave me this one, and it took quite a while to get. It is rather neat, though:

A man digs a hole in the ground. It is five feet by six feet by three feet. How much dirt, in cubic feet, is in the hole?

A cold winter wind blows from west to east through a maple tree. Which way do the leaves flutter?

Does Canada have a fouth of july?

(I dunno if anyone's said it yet. 3- one monkey)

But anyway...You might have all heard this already, but oh well.

You're trying to get to the Village of Truth. You come to a fork in the road and you know that one leads to the Village of Truth (people there and from there can only speak the truth), and one leads to the Village of Lies (people there and from there can only speak lies), but you don't know which one leads where. A man is sitting in the middle of the road, he is from one of the villages and has a sign that says "you may ask me one question, and one only".
If which ever path you choose is the only one you can ever travel down, what question should you ask him?

Well, it was sort of obvious what he meant... ;)

They don't, it's winter.

Of course, after the third and before the fifth.

Yes, I thought of that winter thing, but my mind didn't process the word, no matter how hard I looked.

ANS:Ask him which way to his village. If he's from the Village of Truth then he will thruthfully tell you the way to it. I he's from the Village of Lies he will tell you the way to the Village of Truth
Alternate answer:Ask him which road someone from the Village of Lies would send him on to get to the Village of Truth, then take the opposite road. If he's from the VoT then he'll truthfully tell you the path to the VoL, if he's from the VoL then he will lie and tell you the path to the VoL.

Bravo.

4) If you drove a bus leaving Waterloo with 40 passengers and dropped off 7 and picked up 2 at the Aldwich, stopped at Holborn and picked up 10, went on to St Pauls and dropped 8 and picked up 5 there and arrived at Liverpool Street six minutes later, what would the drivers name be?

2. Jack and Jill have five children. Half of them are boys. How is this possible. There are no hermaphrodites!

1. A plane carrying the Russian swim team crashes on the Canadian/American border. Where do you bury the survivors?

2. Jack and Jill have five children. Half of them are boys. How is this possible. There are no hermaphrodites!

3. A man and his son were climbing when the son fell. The man rushed him to the hospital. The surgeon said, "I can't operate on this boy, he's my son!" How is this possible?

4. Is the following statement true or false? This statement is false.
1:You don't
2:Jack and Jill did not have children together, they have five each.
3:The doctor is his mother
4:True

On the 100th day of his quest a knight faced the three-headed Paradox dragon which blocked his path and would not let him by. The knight knew that one head would always speak the truth, one would always lie and one would alternate.

The first head reared its head and spoke "If we are to let you by then you will have to solve our riddle - Which head is which? But, you may only ask us one question."

The second stared at the first and shoke his head and said "He's lying, you get three questions."

And then the third blurted out "Oh no. It's definately one."

Then first head glowered at the other two, and they fell silent.

How did the knight get by?

Two possibilities,

1. Asked a head at random the following question 'If I asked you which head was which, what would you say?"


2. Cut all three heads off and went on his way

All right, anyone want me to give them the answer from the Jack and Jill question?

6 Ducks

dunno

he was short, he could only reach the lower numbers on the elevator. dunno what working till noon has to do with it

:p I've actually heard that riddle before. Didn't get it at the thyme though.
I'll be really impressed if you can match it with the rhyme.

1. Is wrong.
3. Is right.
Erm...yeah, I went back and edited.

6 Ducks

dunno

he was short, he could only reach the lower numbers on the elevator. dunno what working till noon has to do with it

Simple. He couldn't actually reach any of the numbers. When he got up, he took the elevator down because everyone else was going down. When he got back, he had only worked till noon so nobody else was there, going up, or he probably would have ridden at least part of the way up, the lazy bum.

1. If you have two ducks in front of two ducks, two ducks behind two ducks, and two ducks in between two ducks, what is the least number of ducks you can have?
Zero. You don't have to have any.
2. What room has neither doors, a floor, a ceiling, or windows?

I don't understand why this is a midget!!! :confused:

EDIT: Got it now.

I'll be really impressed if you can match it with the rhyme.
Nope, don't know it.

I don't understand why this is a midget!!! :confused:
Because he's a shortarse, so when he comes back he can't reach the button for his floor in the lift. Either that or he figures that nobody in their right mind would take the stairs, so he goes up there for a bit of privacy while he jerks off.

Nope, don't know it.
Meh:
By the black raven's crime
And by this rhyme
The answer would be thyme

Zero. You don't have to have any.
[QUOTE]2. What room has neither doors, a floor, a ceiling, or windows?

1. It is meant in the term that if you have two ducks in front of two ducks, two ducks behind two ducks, and two ducks in between two ducks, what is the least number of ducks there can be. If you have zero then you don't have the aformentioned ducks.
2. Hehe. I'm evil.
3. He can't reach the elevator buttons. When he's going down in the morning there are other people going down too, and he lets them push the buttons. When he gets back at noon, there's nobody going up, so he has to take the stairs.

Either that or he figures that nobody in their right mind would take the stairs, so he goes up there for a bit of privacy while he jerks off.

It's only illegal if you get caught. But as he's up there for privacy, it's unlikely he'll be caught. He knows exactly what he's been doing. Every weekday for 23 years he's been wanking off in that stairwell.

Then the answer is four. (Because you have three ducks in a row.)

You have to get a fox, a rabbit, and a lettuce to the other side of a river, but you can only fit one of them in the boat with you at the same time. You can't leave the fox and rabbit together because the fox will eat the rabbit, and you can't leave the rabbit and lettuce together because the rabbit will eat the lettuce. What is the fewest number of trips across the river you can make to get everything from one side of the river to the other? And what are they?

Edit: Here's the answer for those who can't be bothered to work it out:
Trip 1: Take the rabbit across.
Trip 2: Take the lettuce across, bring the rabbit back
Trip 3: Take the fox across
Trip 4: Take the rabbit across
Then sink the boat so any sod after you has to swim

That's where I went wrong, with the bags, which I ignored because they weren't people. :mad:

What? What sort of shoddy workmanship went into that boat! I demand a refund! Fine. You eat the lettuce, then bring the rabbit across with you. Then you go back, get the fox, and bring it over. Since you accomplish this relatively quickly, the lettuce has not been digested, and is therefore brought across. Still three trips.

No, no. It's a fox cub. And you've let yourself go a bit...

the fox can take down a rabbit, no matter how big it is, and the rabbit can still eat -some- of the lettuce, and you wouldn't want it after its been nibbled all over

what about the trips across on your own?
between 1&2 theres a trip to the other side to get the lettuce etc.

Then your rabbit dies because it has no lettuce to eat.

And you don't own the boat, you just happen to conveniently find it there.

Now you're just being riddiculous. You could say by the same token that if you don't leave the rabbit with the fox, then the fox dies because it has no rabbit to eat. Anyways, you never said I had to keep them healthy. Furthermore, if I use the boat to cross the river, and then, as I would have to, leave it on the side I crossed to, what happens to the person who does own this horribly put together boat when he needs to cross the river?

I can't think of the last one either. :p

Now you're just being riddiculous. You could say by the same token that if you don't leave the rabbit with the fox, then the fox dies because it has no rabbit to eat. Anyways, you never said I had to keep them healthy. Furthermore, if I use the boat to cross the river, and then, as I would have to, leave it on the side I crossed to, what happens to the person who does own this horribly put together boat when he needs to cross the river?
Now where's Eutrusca's trout smiley when you need it...?

There are plenty of words in the English language that end in 'gry'. Gry itself is a word. http://www.askoxford.com/asktheexperts/faq/aboutwords/gry?view=uk

Are you really a MENSA genius? I'm not saying you don't seem like one; I'm just interested.

Yes, I got that a bit wrong. The actual riddle is:
There are only 3 words that end in gry! Angry and hungry are two of them! What is the third word in the english language? You all know it it and you all use it.

My sentences are brilliantly coherent. It's a great achievement of mine. :rolleyes:

1) A man builds a rectangular house, with each wall having a southern exposure. He is very pleased with his house, and lives in it all year round. A bear comes wandering up to it. What colour is the bear?

2) A man passes a window and hears a telephone ring. A moment later, he dies. Why?

3) If two monkeys sit in the corner of a square room and look at another pair in the next corner and so on until every pair in a corner looks at another pair, how many monkeys could say they were looking at other monkeys?

4) If you drove a bus leaving Waterloo with 40 passengers and dropped off 7 and picked up 2 at the Aldwich, stopped at Holborn and picked up 10, went on to St Pauls and dropped 8 and picked up 5 there and arrived at Liverpool Street six minutes later, what would the drivers name be?


First to answer each gets a cookie! No Googling of answers!

Anyone got any more riddles?

1) Bear don't live in the south.

2) He watched the Ring.

4) Imaani because I was the Bus Driver.

People in MENSA aren't necessarily smart, they just do well in IQ tests.

Don't insult IQ tests. They are my friends.

Language.
Yup, sorry bout getting it wrong.

Don't insult IQ tests. They are my friends.
I didn't.

A man using it can't see it. Hopefully.
The one who sold it to him will never use it.
Nor will those that saw him use it.
What is it?

Erm, technically. But I'm not a member of MENSA, because I've been unlucky when taking the admission tests.

There are two fathers and three sons trout fishing together. What's the least number there can be trout fishing?

So, technically, not. :p

Yup. Me. *coughs*

Three, all male, two of whom have reproduced, one who has not. Unless of course you're trying to be "clever," in which case one might respond "zero" since of course it is not necessary that anyone ever be trout fishing.

Well, you could argue that the undertaker uses the coffin, and therefore it cannot be a coffin

So, technically, not. :p
No. I qualify to be (I scored an average of 145 on the tests, which is 10 points above the usual admission), but they only allow in the top 2% of the people who took the test in that 'round' of testing across the country.

as fun as this has been, im going to go now. gotta get my house ready for a drinking party

Yup. Me. *coughs*
Ooops, I need to pay more attention. Meh.

All right then. Good luck :).

Bah, you have an IQ five points higher than me.

I don't particually rate IQ as a measure of anything, but still, pride dictates that I throw ketchup at you in a fit of rage.

Better not have any JD's...

isn't it and two sons?

Not at all; it seems safe to assume that they all have parents, and are therefore sons.

So long as you're not wasting brown sauce, I don't care.
