Is there a riddle you can't answer? lol

Yeah the ones that have been mentioned in this thread that haven't been answered yet. I have them written down so I can have a think about them when I get a spare moment.

 

I also NEVER would have gotten the "Room with a table" riddle. That one is far too clever. It has opened my eyes on alternative ways to think about future riddles though.

 

Also, my favourite villain is The Riddler. :)

Why wasn't Bertha put in jail after killing dozens of people?

"She" was a hurricane?

 

Four men were in a boat on a lake. The boat turns over, and all four men sink to the bottom of the lake, yet not a single man got wet. Why?

They where not single? They where married

 

 

What stinks when living and smells good when dead?

Nope......

 

The answer relates to the men not the boat.

This one has kept me stumped and I always wondered why it would mention 4 men when the amount of men in the boat would seemingly have no relevance to whether they get wet or not, then I got this clue...

 

Is the answer because all 4 men got wet and not just a single man got wet?

The Egg as he was prone to premature eggjaculation.

close lol

but it was the egg due to chickens not being around when dinosaurs were laying eggs

 

 

A man was just doing his job when his suit was torn. Why did he die three minutes later?

Mother, father, two boys, two girls, a policeman and a convict need to cross the river with a boat.

 

Rules for the game.

 

  1. The convict cannot be alone with any member of the family without the policeman.
  2. The father cannot be with the daugther(s) if the mother is not there.
  3. The mother cannot be with the boy(s) if the father is not there.
  4. Only the father, the mother and the policeman know how to sail the boat (so one of them should be on the boat on each crossing)
  5. The boat holds at most 2 people

How do they do it?

How do they do it?

1 Policeman and convict cross, Policeman comes back

2 Policeman takes 1st boy across, and comes back with convict.

3 Father takes 2nd boy across and comes back.

4 Mother and Father cross, Mother comes back.

5 Convict and Policeman cross. Father comes back

6 Father and Mother cross, Mother comes back

7 Mother takes 1st girl across, convict and Policeman come back.

8 Policeman takes 2nd girl across, then comes back

9 Policeman crosses with convict

 

Try it. ;)
