Pootcrum Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrangaX Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why? There were IN the boat, and since it flipped over and didn't have a hole in it no water got inside? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k1ng Brownie Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 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?

Pootcrum Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 "She" was a hurricane? What stinks when living and smells good when dead? Some sort of delicious wonder animal. I would guess a pig? They where not single? They where married Correct. Well, aside from 'where' . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrangaX Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pootcrum Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Is the answer because all 4 men got wet and not just a single man got wet? It is to do with 'single'. King Brownie has already got it, so if you want to figure it out yourself don't read his post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g0dz5 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Mother, father, two boys, two girls, a policeman and a convict need to cross the river with a boat. Rules for the game. The convict cannot be alone with any member of the family without the policeman. The father cannot be with the daugther(s) if the mother is not there. The mother cannot be with the boy(s) if the father is not there. 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) The boat holds at most 2 people How do they do it?
