Riddles and tongue
Riddles and tongue twisters. Does anybody have any riddles or tongue twisters? I have a few if anyone wants to try:
1. What lies in a bed, but never sleeps, runs, but never gets tired and has a bank, but no money? (Answer at the bottom of the page)
2. How much wood could a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood? A wood chuck could chuck as much wood as a wood chuck could chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood!
3. She sells sea shells by the sea shore.
4. One knight, a princess and a king and a queen walked in to a castle. How many people were in their group?
Answers:

4. 4, one knight.

This is a cool idea BookBug! However I believe that #4 is supposed to be said out loud, so that it sounds as if you are saying "One night a princess a king and a queen walked into a castle."
I have one:
Two fathers and two sons went fishing and caught three fish. Satisfied, they divided the fish up evenly between them and went their separate ways. How can this happen?
And no, it is not something ridiculous like one fish had two heads or one guy had an extra fish in his pocket.

Did they cut them in half? Or did they each catch three fish?

I think I know how....
Was one man a grandfather, one a father (the son of the grandfather) and one the son of the father? That would equal to fathers and two sons.

Oh! I know this one- it was a grandfather, a father, and a son. Two fathers, two sons!
(January 19, 2017 - 10:10 am)
I know! There was a grandfather, a father, and a son. The father was counted twice, once as a father, once as a son. They each took one fish, which made them divide evenly.

I'm going to assign each 'person' numbers to help me explain my thought process.
Father 1 --
Father 2 -
Son 1 -
Son 2 -
Alright. Father 1 is the dad of Son 1.
Father 1 is also the son of Father 2, who is the grandfather of Son 1.
Therefore making him Son 2.
Does that make sense? It makes sense to me. I don't know.

Ha, ironic that the riddler just gave out a riddle:P Im pretty sure Ive heard it before but I cant think up the answer. (:( well, heres a riddle one of my ballet friends told me and the class. I dont think any of us figured it out intill she told usXD
So here it is!
Your locked in a room with no windows or doors. Think of it as a cement box. All that's inside is with you is a wooden table and a mirror. How do you escape?
(January 19, 2017 - 10:42 am)
You look in the mirror, see what you saw, grab the saw, cut the table in half, two halves make a hole, you climb through the hole and you're out. :)
(January 20, 2017 - 6:37 am)

Heres another one:
One Sunday morning, a young man returned to his house to see his butler dead on the floor. There were only three people capable of committing this crime: The cook, the maid, and the gardener. The cook claimed to be making supper, the maid claimed to be collecting the mail, and the gardener claimed to be checking the water tanks. The answer was easy, the cook had access to knives and other potentially dangerous items, and the gardener had access to the water supplies and could have easily poisoned the butler. However, one thought stopped the young man in his tracks, just as he was about to arrest the pair. The answer was soon obvious, the maid's answer was impossible. She must have been lying about her whereabouts and was clearly the guilty one. Why?

Because "NO POST ON SUNDAYS!!!!" -Uncle Vernon
Thank you anyone who got that reference.

Mr.Brown lives on the tenth floor of an apartment building. Every Day except Sunday at 6:00 he rides the elevator down to the lobby and leaves for work. He works in the bank. Every day except Sunday he comes home at 4:00 and goes straight back to his apartment. Mr. Brown has his groceries delivered so he has no need to stay out later than 4:00. If there are people in the elevator, he rides straight to the tenth floor. If the elevator is completely empty, he rides to the seventh floor and walks up three flights of steps to his apartment. On rainy days, no matter who is in the elevator, he rides straight to the tenth floor. Why does he do these things?
(January 20, 2017 - 11:53 am)
Is he a little person? (I hope I'm using the correct term?)
