I'll start it off since, hey! I created the topic. ^_^

[jowwor]

Hi Somedude21,

Yay me. :smile:

OK, here's my riddle. :wink:

1. Take the number of your fingers multiplied by the number of your toes divided by one half and add it to the number of months in a year. What is the total? :?

Have fun. :D

[jowwor]

62 sexy TS toes and fingers...? :lol:

Hi jowwor,

This is the answer, according to the website where I found the question. :?

"1. 10x10=100÷1/2=200+12=212 *NOTE: For another way to look at this - Stuart writes: I noticed that the corresponding answer to puzzle 1 says "10x10=100÷1/2=200+12=212", when in fact it should be "8x10=80÷1/2=160+12=172" as you have 8 fingers and 2 thumbs!"

It would appear that they're not dividing by one half but multiplying by 2, or am I losing it? :?

Your answer is, of course, correct. 10 out of 10. Go to the top of the class. :claps

It's your turn to set the next riddle. :D

No, the riddle is correct, but it plays on a teaser that is based on the assumption that most people will automatically think that half of 100 is fifty. While the latter is correct, the question asks you to =divide= by 1/2 (Or .5) which would = 200. If you multiply by 1/2 (.5) you get 50. I looked at the question and said 62, but knew it was too easy and did the "D'oh!" thing when I saw the answer. :)

Hi BeardedOne,

I'm definitely losing it. :?

It seems that jowwor and I are both wrong whilst you and the originator of the riddle are both correct. Who'd have thought it? I'm metaphorically hanging my head in shame. :oops: & :wink:

So, my knowledgeable friend, the honour of posing the next riddle falls to you. :lol:

Hi werwt22,

Could it possibly be a towel?

Spedius

[jowwor]

I'd go with that as well, Spedius...;)

Spedius

LOL Pretty good pretty good. Correct

Hmm...Did I actually answer it? :?


I'm definitely losing it.

I used a calculator to prove it to myself. :D

[jowwor]

What has a mouth but never smiles?

Quite a boring riddle, but in the spirit of keeping the water of this thread flowing...;)

0,3,8,11,24,...What numbers are next?

Ok answer this one.

Traffic signals. You stand on a corner in a big city waiting for a walk signal to cross a wide street. Cars are waiting to turn left. If you J walk the police WILL ticket you. If the motorist turn without the green arrow or if a person is crossing they WILL get a ticket. The walk sign and the green arrow come at the same instant. How does the city expect you to cross the street without getting in a bad accident or ticketed?

[BrendaQG]

Ah I stumpped you.

n^2 -1 is the number pattern 0=1*1 -1 =1-1
3=2*2-1 =4-1 8=3*3-1=9-1 and so on.

The second one is: they don't expect you to obey the signal. They expect to ticket the drivers.

:-)

[CuriousHarry]

I have no freaking idea.... ummm yeah no idea

here is one i hope i am not going out of order or anything.

What has four "eyes" and is all wet?

[werwt22]

Ok I have one. Your locked in a Corvette and the windows are up...you have no keys, a bat, and a gun...How do you get out?

In California they let you turn right on red as long as there's no traffic or pedestrians in the way. Most of the time if they see you jay walk they don't care or give you a warning. Over here they're mostly looking to bust crackheads, dopefiends, and meth dealers.

This has to have a twist related to missing info. I'll assume it's a ragtop with the top down and just climb out. Am I close?

[Fockzilla]

Under the weather and out and about, it keeps you from getting sick as long as you carry a stick.

There is a faux commercial for OnStar where a blonde calls up in a panic because she can't get out of her car and the OnStar operator asks "What's that pinging noise? Ma'am, are the keys in the ignition?".
