The riddle thread

Recommended Posts

OK - here's a daft one!
Jim walks into a bar and asks the barman for a glass of water.
The barman grabs a gun and points it at Jims head.
Jim says, "Thanks very much" and walks out of the bar happy.
Explain......

This should be easy, but it's kinda wierd how many get it wrong.

A woman bought a used car for $600 and sold it a friend for $800. She later bought it back for $1,000 and resold it for $1,200. Did she make any profit and if so, how much?

she made 400 bucks and lost a friend :)



Well, yes and no. (Many say $200, so you got that right). Never said she re-sold it to her friend, which means the firend made $200 too. :P

Not impossible, but certainly not easy:

Andy dislikes the catcher. Ed's sister is engaged to the second baseman. The center feilder is taller than the right feilder. Harry and the third baseman live in the same building. Paul and Allen each won $20 from the pitcher at pinochle. Ed and the outfielders play poker during their free time. The pitcher's wife is the third baseman's sister. The pitcher, catcher, and infeilders except Allen, Harry, and Andy, are shorter than Sam. Paul, Andy, and the shortstop lost $50 each at the racetrack. Paul, Harry, Bill, and the catcher took a trouncing from the second baseman at pool. Sam is involved in a divorce suit. The catcher and the third baseman each have two children. Ed, Paul, Jerry, the right feilder, and the centar fielder are bachelors. The others are married. The shortstop, the third baseman, and Bill each cleaned up $100 betting on the fight. One of the outfeilders is either Mike or Andy. Jerry is taller than Bill. Mike is shorter than Bill. Each of them is heavier than the third baseman.

Using these facts, determine the names of the men playing the various positions on the baseball team.

a woman has 7 children and half of them are boys... how is this possible?



One's a hermaphridite

A man was digging and found a block of ice with two people in it. Immediately, he knew it was Adam and Eve. How did he know?

a man walks up to you and says: "Everything I say to you is a lie." is he telling the truth or lying?



It's a paradox.



No it's not. He's lying. He can tell that one lie of "Everything I say to you is a lie" without precluding that some things he may tell you are lies.

A boy was at a carnival and went to a booth where a man said to the boy, "If I write your exact weight on this piece of paper then you have to give me $50, but if I cannot, I will pay you $50."

The boy looked around and saw no scale so he agrees, thinking no matter what the carny writes he'll just say he weighs more or less.

In the end the boy ended up paying the man $50. How did the man win the bet?
