Two fathers and two sons go fishing, and each catches one fish to take home. Why do they bring only three fish home?
I already know this one. I'm debating on whether i should answer it or give someone else a chance. I can't help it! Fire! LOL
i thought i would throw this child hood riddle in there just in case some of you never had a childhood and was never told it. what's black and white and red all over? (this riddle is meant to be spoken, not written)
A newspaper. The M is 1000 times mm one came to me last night, after I had gone to bed. When I first approached the riddle, I kept thinking of it in terms of Roman numerals.
You are touring the chemistry lab of a prestigious university and notice some nonesensical equations written on a blackboard. Turns out that under certain conditions, these strange equations are actually correct. Eight minus six equals 2. Eight plus six equals two. Assuming the above to be true, what does seven plus six equal?
A man begins running at top speed. He turns left, keeps running, turns left again, continues running, and turns left one more time. He runs home and sees a man with a mask. Why isn't he alarmed?
1 is correct. It's the hours on the clock I like how you always chime in after somebody else has already answered correctly
A man sets out for a walk. He walks south for one mile, east for one mile and north for one mile. While out walking, he spots a bear. Ultimately, he ends up in the same place he started. What color is the bear?
There are 10 two-seater cars attached to the fair's Ferris wheel. The Ferris wheel turns so that one car rotates through the exit platform every minute.

You've been sentenced to death in an obscure foreign country which has a strange law. Before the sentence is carried out, two papers -- one with "LIFE" written on it and one with "DEATH" written on it -- are folded up and placed in a hat. You are permitted to pick out one of the papers (without looking), and if you choose the one with "LIFE" written on it, you are set free. Otherwise, the death sentence is carried out. On this occasion, a mean-spirited acquaintenance of yours, bent on your demise, has substituted the paper with "LIFE" written on it with another one with "DEATH" written on it. This person gleefully informs you of what he has done and that you are doomed to die. You are not permitted to speak to anyone about this misdeed, nor will you have a chance to switch the papers or the hat yourself in time. How will you avoid certain death?
Eat the paper? If they can't read the one you took, they will look at the one left in the hat - reading "death" - and assume the one you ate had to have said "life"! That has to be it! I wouldn't have thought of that if not for Vendigo's answer...
Here's one before I take the dog for a walk: Two shepherds talk about the size of their flocks. Says the first one: Hey, did you notice that if you gave me two of your sheep, my flock would be the very same size as yours? Says the other: And did you notice that if you gave me two of your sheep, I'd have twice as many sheep as you do? How many sheep do they have respectively?
i have no idea how anyone else answers. i scroll down one post at a time, when i see a new riddle i don't scroll down anymore.
it must be a white polar bear b/c he was on the north pole. that's the only way he can end up in the same place.
take out one and eat it, then they'll read the one that's left over and assume you picked the one that said life. you'll be set free and catch the next dolphins game!
was i close? i assumed that the ride was already full with 20 people and they added 2 every minute while dropping 2 off every minute to make room for the new people. in 30 minutes they would have added 60 people. 60 plus 20 is 80. maybe it wasn't full to begin with, so the answer would be 60
Maybe you should wait until somebody else gets it right, then you can come in and post the right answer, too... To answer your question, none of your answers are even close.
