After you draw one of the papers, swallow it. The jailer will be forced to check the remaining paper to determine what the one you drew said. The jailer will of course see a paper with "DEATH" written on it, assume you drew the one with "LIFE" written on it, and set you free.


Three surgeons and a clumsy cook go camping in the remote wilderness. The clumsy cook stumbles over the campfire as he is serving the surgeons, injuring himself and dumping hot stew on the hands of the surgeons. The cook's injuries need surgical treatment. The surgeons' injuries are minor but open. It turns out they brought the equipment necessary for the cook's surgery with them, and they can use the campfire to sterilize the tools. But there are only two rubber gloves. Because of the different surgeons' skills, all three of the surgeons are needed to operate on the cook, in sequence. How can this be done without any of them being exposed to the blood of any of the others?

This was not the right answer.
The correct answer was: A 5 dollar bill is still more than a 1 dollar bill.

Re: Riddle Game!
 

The tree surgeons perform the surgery one-handed, in sequence:
The first surgeon operates with the first glove inserted inside the second one. The second glove is removed, and given to the second surgeon, who then continues the operation. Both the second and first gloves are then removed from the second and first surgeons, respectively. The first glove is turned inside-out, and put on the hand of the third surgeon. The third surgeon then inserts this hand into the second glove, and completes the operation.


Captain Kirk lands on the planet of the Klingons, only to be captured. The Klingons tell him that if he tells a lie he will be shot; if he tells the truth he will be stabbed. Either way, if he makes a statement, he will be killed with a weapon. If he doesn't make a statement, he is told he will be cooked alive in a pot of oil. What's the one thing Captain Kirk can say to stay alive?

A man is found in a pool of water in the woods, dead. He is wearing a scuba outfit. He has no serious wounds visible. How did he die?

Re: Riddle Game!
 

Food poisoning?

Sorry, but there are so many different ways to answer this question.

Re: Riddle Game!
 

He died through some physical means, not poisoning. Oh, and the forest he is in is in Southern California this year...

Re: Riddle Game!
 

Not quite. He still made a statement, and therefore was killed with some weapon. ; )
