I've been talking about making this thread for a while now, so lets' get to it.
This is a thread like DSD's trivia, except I'm posting riddles and brain teasers
and I'm not using a point system.
If anyone has ideas on how I should set this up, I'll gladly listen.
When I'm not here or too busy/ lazy to update,
my friend Vice Executive Producer Blaydrix will keep it going,
(EDIT: but I guess he quit so anybody who has a question to post can go ahead and do it.
EDIT AGAIN: He just forgot, and since I forget 'bout it at times, I'll let it slide....

Blaydrix
12-12-2008, 03:57 PM
One pound of feathers is more than one pound of gold because the "pound" unit is different. The most commonly used system of weights in the US and Great Britain is the avoirdupois system, where 1 pound = 16 ounces. This is used for most solid objects, except for precious metals and gems; gold is weighed by a special system, called the troy system, where one troy pound = 12 troy ounces. Where one avoirdupois ounce is 28.35 grams, one troy ounce is about 31.10 grams. To convert from avoirdupois pounds to troy pounds, multiply the first by 1.2152 to get its equivalent in troy measurement. Therefore, one "pound" of feathers in troy weight is actually 1.2152 pounds (one avoirdupois pound), compared to one troy pound of gold. And the feathers win.

A peasant is convicted in China. He gets the death penalty. The judge allows him to say a last sentence in order to determine the way the penalty will be carried out. If the peasant lies, he will be hanged, if he speaks the truth he will be beheaded. The peasant speaks a last sentence and to everybody surprise some minutes later he is set free because the judge cannot determine his penalty.

NEXT RIDDLE, AND THIS ONE IS HARD

A man would like to take a new health insurance. An officer taking care of these matters says to the man: "Please tell me how many children you have." The man answers: "I have three of them." The officer: "What are the ages of your children?". The man answers: "The product of the ages is equal to 36." The officer replies: "This is not enough information Sir!". "Sorry that I was a little bit unclear, but the sum of the ages is equal to the number of shops in front of your office," says the man. The officer: "This still isn't enough information Sir!". The man replies: "My oldest child loves chocolate." The officer: "Thanks for your cooperation, I now know the ages."
Are you as smart as the officer? Then give the ages of the children.

Yes indeedy.

The product of the ages is 36. Using this one can make the following combination of ages:

1,36, 1 sum = 38
1,18, 2 sum = 22
1,12, 3 sum = 16
1, 9, 4 sum = 14
1, 6, 6 sum = 13
2, 9, 2 sum = 13
2, 6, 3 sum = 11
3, 3, 4 sum = 10

After the man had said that the product of the ages is equal to 36, the officer didn't have enough information. Then he was told that the sum is equal to number of shops in front of the office. He replied by saying that this still isn't enough information. So the sum of the ages should be 13, because otherwise he would have known the ages immediately. The last statement is that that the oldest child loves chocolate. So there is an oldest child. Hence the officer concludes that the ages of the children are 2, 2 and 9 years.

xXxHyuugaNejixXx
12-13-2008, 10:22 PM
Ok. Heres a tougher one I think.

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????

FURTHERMORE!

The following night two friends check into the same motel. Once again the clerk charges them $30, or $15 per person. After the clerk remembers the total rate is only $25 he sends the bellhop upstairs with five $1 bills to pay the two friends back. The bellhop knows he got away with larceny once so he tries it again. But this time he pockets $3 and returns $2 to the hotel guests ($1 per guest). So each of the two guests got $1 back from their original $15. Therefore each paid $14 which is a total payment of $28 for the room. Now the bellhop has $3, the guests paid $28, for a total of $31

Zairak
12-13-2008, 10:25 PM
I hate to nitpick, but shouldn't that be 35 dollars as the original amount spent?

xXxHyuugaNejixXx
12-13-2008, 11:14 PM
ok

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.

Ok, I got another one. It's pretty old, so....

As I was going to St.Ives, I saw a man with seven wives,
Each wife had seven sacks,
Each sack had seven cats,
Each cat had seven kits,
Kits, cats, sacks and wives,
How many where going to St.Ives?

Correct! man, I'm running out of riddles...

This one's a bit loosley worded, but here we go:

What does man love more than life
And fear more than death?
What the poor have, the rich require,
and what all contented men desire?
What misers spend and spenders save,
And all men carry to their grave?

If it's a trick question and is actually asking for the third word in "the English language", then it's language. If not, then I don't know.

Or should I go ahead and post another riddle?

A man was to be sentenced, and the judge told him, "You may make a statement. If it is true, I'll sentence you to four years in prison. If it is false, I'll sentence you to six years in prison." After the man made his statement, the judge decided to let him go free. What did the man say?

"You'll sentence me to 6 years" And so a paradox.

DarkPhoenix
01-23-2009, 04:55 PM
Yes here is the full answer

He said, "You'll sentence me to six years in prison." If it was true, then the judge would have to make it false by sentencing him to four years. If it was false, then he would have to give him six years, which would make it true. Rather than contradict his own word, the judge set the man free.

I have this book with 20 or so lateral puzzles, about 3/4 of them are morbid in some way but here's one of them.

A man goes into a hardware store and asks the shopkeeper for something. The shopkeeper tells him that: "Four will cost you $3, fifteen will cost you $6 and two hundred will cost you $9." What was the man buying?
