View Full Version : RIDDLES
This is a thread for riddles. I have a good one. People will try to guess it then I'll tell you later (maybe) :)
People will make up riddles and then other people will try to guess it and so on...
Okay there was a little boy and his father. they were both in a plane crash and the little boy's father died. When the ambulance takes the little boy into the operating room, the surgeon said, "I can not operate on this child. He is my son"
HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN THAT?

lol, that one is old..
I thought the surgeon was the mother of the boy.

Picture this, you are operating on your child, you fuck something up. You have to live in guilt that you couldn't save your childs life. It's the same thing with i juries and stuff.
My friends dad is a surgeion and when he needed surgery, his dad refused to do it.
So, Leones theory of it being the childs mother seems pretty reasonable.

the father that died was his stepfather, the surgeon his real father.
His mom is the doctor. :wth:

Warning to mods or whatever...:
Don't take this as homophobic thing.
The kid has two dads and no mom. If the surgeon isn't the mom, then he has two dads and no mom.
;o!!!
I'm not really sure if this is a riddle...
A bank robbery occurs in a town, and a detective finds a man that fits the description of the robber. When the detective knocks on the man's front door, the man emerges with only a pair of jeans on. The detective informs him that he is the primary suspect of a bank robbery. The man laughs at this, and he leans back on the hood of his truck. He claims he had been away visiting a sick cousin over 150 miles away. The detective then thinks, and he takes the man into custody. What made him do this?
Yeah it was the boy's mother who was the surgeon. That one was kinda tricky. It took me forever and I never even thought about the surgeon being a WOMAN.
The bank that was robbed was 150 miles away too so the cop arrested him??
No I have no idea...is it something to do with the fact that he's in only jeans and he leans against his truck? i thought he was indoors...how could he lean against his truck?

No.
Oh well I have no idea I suck at these things
You just have to think about the little details. Oh, and don't hurt yourself.
Does it have something to do with the fact that he is supposed to be in a house (because the cop knocks on his front door) but then he LEANS BACK ON THE HOOD OF HIS TRUCK??

Supposing he went outside to talk, though.
Are you sure you've given enough details? So how long was it after the robbery before the cop went up to the man's door?

The robber was ugly so the cop arrested him for it.

02-23-2005, 03:27 AM
it has something to do with the truck and the fact that he's only wearing jeans..correct?
Hmmmmm.
He arrested him because he was hick?
I have no idea. :lol:
NO I HAVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!
Just lost it. :o
Okay, if you want the answer highlight below:
The suspect was not wearing a shirt. Therefor, if he'd been driving the past 2+ hours, he would have burned his back on the hud.
oh. What's a hud? :blush:
The sheet of metal that covers the engine.

HEY! I WAS ACTUALLY ON THE RIGHT TRACK!
OK RIDDLE TIME!
a man is stuc k in jail and he had only one visitor today. The guard aproaches him and asks him who the visitor was. The man replies
"brothers and sisters i have none, but that mans father is my fathers son"
who was thte visitor?
Congratulations for...trying.
Here's another one that's a little (Well, a lot) easier.
The man stood in front of the window staring. He was sick of his job and tired of life all together because of it. Overwhelmed with depression, he opened the 24th floor window and jumped through it. He landed on the ground unscathed. How did he do it?
Hint: The answer does not have anything to do with the height of the building.
He landed in a huge pile of snow.
He landed in a pool/ocean/lake/whatever.

yeah- him and chucky. they teamed up, huh?
The woman who didn't care?! WHAT?! How were we supposed to know she was a psycho path?! I'll give you an F for that one.
:lol:
The answer is:
The man killed his wife. That was the reason he was late for work. He was careless on the road which made him crash in the delishop owner. At work, he bumped into his coworker because he was into a hurry to get back to his house to clean up the mess. Him telling his boss' son to fuck off was because he was mad at himself for killing his wife. After the deliman got his information, he went to his house to find the women murdered. The deliman called the police.

One train leaves Los Angeles at 15mph heading for New York. Another train leaves from New York at 20mph heading for Los Angeles on the same track. The distance between LA and NY is about 5000 miles. If a bird, flying at 25mph, leaves from Los Angeles at the same time as the train and flies back and forth between the two trains until they collide, how far will the bird have traveled?

exactly! :D
Here's one that I just gave up on and looked at the answer.
A detective and his fellow officers are entering the scene of a suicide. They open the door to find about half an inch of water on the floor and a man hanging by his neck from a rope tied to a beam in the ceiling. At first it seems like a simple suicide, but when they look around the room, they are struck with confusion; The rope used was clearly not long enough for the man to have jumped off of something. There is no trace of any other person being in the room at the time of the death. How did the man do it?
Hint: It is a suicide, not a murder, and the man did not jump or fall from the beam.

A man wanted to enter an exclusive club but did not know the password that was required. He waited by the door and listened. A club member knocked on the door and the doorman said, "twelve." The member replied, "six " and was let in. A second member came to the door and the doorman said, "six." The member replied, "three" and was let in. The man thought he had heard enough and walked up to the door. The doorman said ,"ten" and the man replied, "five." But he was not let in.

The man thought he had heard enough and walked up to the door. The doorman said ,"ten" and the man replied, "five." But he was not let in.
What should have he said?
Seven? [/b][/quote]

The man wasn't a member?
Nope.
You don't need to be a member to get into the club. You just need the password.

No, that is the wrong answer. Gender has nothing to do with it.

Three friends check into a motel for the night and the clerk tells them the bill is $30, payable in advance. So, they each pay the clerk $10 and go to their room. A few minutes later, the clerk realizes he has made an error and overcharged the trio by $5. He asks the bellhop to return $5 to the 3 friends who had just checked in. The bellhop sees this as an opportunity to make $2 as he reasons that the three friends would have a tough time dividing $5 evenly among them; so he decides to tell them that the clerk made a mistake of only $3, giving a dollar back to each of the friends. He pockets the leftover $2 and goes home for the day! Now, each of the three friends gets a dollar back, thus they each paid $9 for the room which is a total of $27 for the night. We know the bellhop pocketed $2 and adding that to the $27, you get $29, not $30 which was originally spent. Where did the other dollar go????
wow.i finally posted in teh damn 'post your pic' thread..haha
Whoever makes it, tells it not. Whoever takes it, knows it not. And whoever knows it, wants it not. What is it?
They tipped the bellhop?
Off-Topic : I would be pissed off if a bellhop stole two bucks from me. :lol:

if you want the answer...highlight
The facts in this riddle are clear: There is an initial $30 charge. It should have been $25, so $5 must be returned and accounted for. $3 is given to the 3 friends, $2 is kept by the bellhop - there you have the $5. The trick to this riddle is that the addition and subtraction are done at the wrong times to misdirect your thinking - and quite successfully for most. Each of the 3 friends did indeed pay $9, not $10, and as far as the friends are concerned, they paid $27 for the night. But we know that the clerk will tell us that they were charged only $25 and when you add the $3 returned with the $2 kept by the bellhop, you come up with $30.
I'd still be pissed if a bellhorn stole money from me. :lol:
The three friends payed $30, then received $3 back, so they only paid $27, and of that $25 went to the manager and $2 went to the bellhop, so there is no extra dollar.
Edit: Close enough. This topic's addicting.

Matt wins.... NOTE: it's all about the order of addition and subtraction

the answer was already said....it was counterfeit money ^_^
Here's another one.
You are your way to visit your Grandma, who lives at the end of the valley. It's her birthday, and you want to give her the cakes you've made.
Between your house and her house, you have to cross 7 bridges, and as it goes in the land of make believe, there is a troll under every bridge! Each troll, quite rightly, insists that you pay a troll toll. Before you can cross their bridge, you have to give them half of the cakes you are carrying, but as they are kind trolls, they each give you back a single cake.
How many cakes do you have to leave home with to make sure that you arrive at Grandma's with exactly 2 cakes?

You leave home 5 cakes. If you've got 2 cakes, here's how it goes.
2 cakes.
Give one to the first troll, get one back.
2 cakes.
Give one to the second troll, get one back.
2 cakes.
And so it goes, IMO.
