~~How 'bout we start answering before we start posting. Might as well try it, huh?~~

*EDIT* I'll ignore myself. Here's another one.

A man rode to town on Friday. He stayed there for two days and left on Friday.

How did it happen?

I'll just do another one.
Fifty men walked down a road. They stopped by an apple tree. The tree had fifty apples. Each took one apple. There were fourty-nine left.
How did it happen?
One of the men was named "Each".
Kirk
Another solution is that the first man took an apple from the tree and each other man took an apple from the last person who had it. Therefore they all took an apple and the tree still had 49 left. This is actually more likely than a man having the name "each".
The man's mother named him Each. You were right, Kirk.

Its getting old, Gandalf. The horse was named friday.

I truly love this riddle:

A bear hunter went walking about with his gun when he spotted a bear which sat 100 yards due north of himself. In order to sneak up on the bear, the hunter traveled 100 yards due east, then he turned and fired his gun due north, and in so doing, he hit the bear!

Now for the question: What color was the bear?

Well not really a riddle but if u can solve it fast then good lol

U have a certain amount of $$ and u enter a casino. There is an entrance fee of $20. Once u entered, u gambled all ur remaining money and doubled it, and u left the casino. There was an exit fee of $20. After that, you went in a second casion. There is an entrance fee of $20. Once u entered, u gambled all ur remaining money and doubled it, and u left the casino. There was an exit fee of $20. Then u went in the third casino. There is an entrance fee of $20. Once u entered, u gambled all ur remaining money and doubled it, and u left the casino. There was an exit fee of $20. When u got out of the 3rd Casino, you have $0.00 left.

Question: How ch money did u start with?

Red Dragon Thorn · « **Reply #58 on:** June 01, 2009, 10:48:54 PM »

I'm pretty sure its $52.50

52.50- 20 = 32.50
32.50 *2 = 65
65-20 = 45
45 -20 = 25
25 * 2 = 50
50 - 20 = 30
30- 20 = 10
10 *2 = 20
20 - 20 = 0

This one has probably been told to death, but here goes:

The Rich need it,
The poor have it,
If you eat it you will die,
What is it?

Hm... would anyone be interested in long riddles where you have to ask questions to answer?
