Oops. Now I'm embarrassed. :o

I checked, this one's new.

Bob and Ben are hired to watch a field. They stand on opposite sides of the field, facing opposite directions. After a few minutes, Bob says to Ben, "Stop making faces at me!" How did Bob know that Ben was making faces?

My guess is that they're on a football field, and Ben's on the JumboTron.

Why does it take longer for a baseball player to run from 2nd base to 3rd than it does from 1st to 2nd?

Because there is a short stop between 2nd and 3rd :D

Fill the 3 gallon bucket. Pour the 3 gallons of water into the 5 gallon bucket. Fill the 3 gallon bucket again. Fill up the 5 gallon bucket with the 3 gallon bucket, leaving you with 1 gallon left in the 3 gallon bucket. Empty out the 5 gallon bucket. Pour the remaining 1 gallon of water from the 3 gallon bucket into the 5 gallon bucket. Fill the 3 gallon bucket. Pour the 3 gallons of water from the 3 gallon bucket into the 5 gallon bucket leaving you with 4 gallons of water in the 5 gallon bucket. Pour into 10 gallon bucket.

My turn:

Four cars come to a four way stop, all coming from a different direction. They can't decide who got there first, so they all go forward at the same time. They do not crash into each other, but all four cars go. How is this possible

They are all turning right.

Which creature in the morning goes on four feet, at noon on two, and in the evening upon three?

"Which creature in the morning goes on four feet, at noon on two, and in the evening upon three?" - Possibly the world's most famous riddle, which in Greek Mythology the Sphinx asked all those walking by. Any unable to answer was strangled by the sphinx, until Oedipus answered:

Man, who crawls on all fours as a baby, walks upright during adulthood, and uses a cane during old age.


What occurs once in a minute, twice in a moment and never in a thousand years?

The letter 'm' :)

I am slim and tall, Many find me desirable and appealing. They touch me and I give a false good feeling. Once I shine in splendor, But only once and then no more. For many I am "to die for". What am I?

I must have lost my extra set of "baby legs" somewhere around 3 years old, I reckon. Just plumb fell off. Only got 2 now. :D

A sponge.

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?

Zyik 14-11-2007 20:49

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?

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

Only one color, but not one size; stuck to the ground, yet easily flies. Present in sun, but not in rain; doing no harm, and feeling no pain. What is it?

Nothing.
Check Post #2. (although I forgot the "eat it" line)

Punctuate and capitalize the following so it makes sense:

time flies i can't they're too fast
