You have died and are in limbo. There are two paths. One leads to Heaven, and the other to Hell. In front of each path is an imp. On of the imps always lies, while the other always tells the truth. If you can only ask one question, what one question can you ask that will guarantee you know which path leads to Heaven, and which leads to Hell?

Re: Riddle Game!
 

Ask one imp which way the other imp would say to go to get to heaven. Then take the other path.
The lying imp would point to the path to hell, the oppisite of what the truthfull imp would say. The truthfull imp would also point to hell, as that is where the lying imp says heaven should be.

A boy was at a fair and went to a booth where a man said to the boy, "If I write your exact weight on this piece of paper then you have to give me $50, but if I cannot, I will pay you $50." The boy looked around and saw no scale so he agrees, thinking no matter what the carny writes he'll just say he weighs more or less. In the end the boy ended up paying the man $50. How did the man win the bet?

Re: Riddle Game!
 

The Man did exactly what he said he was going to do he wrote the words "YOUR EXACT WEIGHT" on the paper

Time flies. I can't. They're too fast! (As in... get out your stopwatch and time a fly...) Note: "I can't, they're too fast." or "I can't; they're too fast." would also be correct.

At a recent team meeting, a mother dropped by wanting to get her children involved in FIRST. I asked her how many kids she had.

"I have three children," she answered.

"How old are they?"

"Well, you get 72 when their ages are multiplied, but you get the number of people in this classroom when they are added."

"Hmm, I think I need to know a little more before I can tell their ages," I replied.

"Oh, of course. My oldest loves apple pie."

How old are the children?

Re: Riddle Game!
 

3, 3 and 8 =]

by the second clue (apple pie ) you know the equation is x*x*y=72

and it only goes with 3 and 8.

A large truck is crossing a bridge 1 mile long. The bridge can only hold 14000 lbs, which is the exact weight of the truck. The truck makes it half way across the bridge and stops. A bird lands on the truck. Does the bridge collapse?

Re: Riddle Game!
 

No, for two reasons:
1) If the truck is exactly halfway across the bridge, it is more than likely centered directly above a pylon - one of the bridge's strongest points. As long as it stays there, no difficulties should arise.

2) Given current technology and fuel efficiency, I would speculate that in a half-mile, a 14,000-pound truck has used at least a bird's weight of fuel, making it below the weight limit.

Grant isn't buried. It's a mausoleum, so his remains are above ground.


Carol is travelling by ship from south of the equator to the north.

She has a nice little second class cabin which has a bathroom, but no window.

Carol has no compass nor other instruments.
Yet, without leaving her room or talking with anyone, Carol knew exactly when the ship crossed the equator.
How did she know?

Re: Riddle Game!
 

She fills the sink with water than pulls the plug.
If the water swirls counter-clockwise than she is north of the equator if it swirls clockwise than she is south of the equator.

Another easy one, assuming you know the Constitution: No matter who he shoots, the one remaining is the President. (Presidential succession goes right down the line in the order listed.)

I answered the question fully. So I can then honestly ask the following as my riddle -

Why is this sequence correct?

I'll even give you the next sequence....

31131211131221

Re: Riddle Game!
 

the next line would be
13211311123113112211

the first term is 1, which has "one 1" in it, therefore 11.
11 has "two 1's" in it, therefore 21.
21 has "one 2 and one 1" in it and therefore 1211.
and so on and so on...

The water will NEVER touch the 4th rung from the top. As the water rises, so does the ship.

A man told his son that he would give him $1000 if he could accomplish the following task. The father gave his son ten envelopes and a thousand dollars, all in one dollar bills. He told his son, "Place the money in the envelopes in such a manner that no matter what number of dollars I ask for, you can give me one or more of the envelopes, containing the exact amount I asked for without having to open any of the envelopes. If you can do this, you will keep the $1000." When the father asked for a sum of money, the son was able to give him envelopes containing the exact amount of money asked for. How did the son distribute the money among the ten envelopes?

The contents of the ten envelopes (in dollar bills) should be as follows: $1, 2,4, 8, 16, 32,64, 128,256, 489. The first nine numbers are in geometrical progression, and their sum, deducted from 1,000, gives the contents of the tenth envelope.
