Joe bought a bag of oranges on Monday, and ate a third of them. On Tuesday he ate half of the remaining oranges. On Wednesday he looked in the bag to find he only had two oranges left. How many oranges were originally in the bag?

And the answer to your riddle is 6 oranges.

A new riddle:

You are trapped in a room with no windows and only one very heavily barred door. The only other thing in the room is a stick. How do you get out?

Re: Riddle Game!
 

I say you take the stick and glide it along the bars, making a loud noise until it drives whoever is out there mad, so they let you out! :D

Re: Riddle Game!
 

That was good!
You break the stick in half put together to make a whole (or hole) and you go through the hole.
I'll someone else make some riddles, I think some haven't even been answered.

Alexander is a great magician, skilled in many things and he weighs exactly 199 lbs. He is about to cross a bridge with a strict weight limit of 200 lbs. The problem is he has to carry three gold pieces across, each gold piece weighs 8 ounces. The gold puts him 8 ounces over the strict weight limit. What did Alexander do to cross the bridge safely with all three pieces of gold?
(There is a real answer, he didn't throw them across nor did he poof them over with magic.)

Re: Riddle Game!
 

Somebody has a lot of riddle practice needed. You forgot that she also drowned and hung him before going out to dinner.

And the answer is that she took his picture (shot him), developed the film (drowned him), and hung it on the wall (hung him).

You break the stick in half. You put the two halves together to make a hole. You then jump through the hole.
