OK, let's get busy ! ;)

Riddle me this, Magic, Z, kAb, ne1 and all who can handle the pressure... :P

Carl has a psychological disorder whereby he takes everything literally. He is also incredibly obedient; if you tell him to " hop to it ", he will literally hop.
When he was out walking in the park recently, he came upon a sign. When he read it, he looked around until he found a gardener, and approached him.
" Excuse me, " he said to the gardener, in a defiant tone. " There is no freakin' way you're going to get me into one of those bins ! "
The confused gardener followed Carl's pointing finger to an ordinary garbage bin.
What did the sign say to cause Carl to behave this way ?

( my apologies to anyone here named Carl ) :D

"Refuse to be put in the bins provided." Or something like that. ;)

Not really riddles, you've degraded into brainteasers. :P

:huh: Holy kick my ass Batman ! :lol: Well, I guess being so damn smart gives you the right to enforce the rules ! :D

You're right, though. My name isn't: "Riddler, puzzler, brainteaser, logic problem Dude "....so I shall attempt to stay focused on the task. ;) Here goes........

In the dripping gloom I see
A creature with broad antlers, motionless.
It turns it's head--one gleaming eye devours the dark.
I hear it cough and clear it's throat
Then, with a hungry roar, it charges into the night
And is swallowed whole.

Whatizit ?

Don't tell MagicNator about this one, cuz I'll catch shit for it being more of a puzzle than a riddle, but I can't help myself !
:P
A dead man's naked body is lying in the desert.
Nearby is a heap of clothes.
There's a straw in the hand of the dead man.
What happened here ?

I've posted this in your other thread Riddler. A very basic one, so I'm sure you can answer in moments.

Two mexicans standing on a street corner. One is tall the other short. The short one is the tall ones son, however the tall one is not the small ones father. Discuss.

It's the second world war and a bomber is flying over Berlin.

Everything is functioning properly, it has a full load.

The pilot presses the correct button to release the bombs, but nothing happens.

Discuss.

he got shot down.

i would assume he was dropping supplies/cargo, but it says nothing happened. maybe its just that, he wasn't carrying bombs.

back in ww2 there was no bomb release button, it had to be released by a hatch by an entirely different person than the pilot&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;

All bombers (not fighter bombers) had crews...Pilot, Co-Pilot, Navigator/Radioman/Gunner(s), and....bombadiers&#33;...Pilots dont drop the bombs, so how could he (unless in an emergency) aim/release the bombs????

either that or everything is not functioning properly

Discuss.
The button he presses is to let the guy who does the actual releasing, know they are over the target, but that guy didn&#39;t see the light come on because he is asleep?
Or dead?
Or looking down some german frau&#39;s blouse through the viewer?

This is really a very open-ended puzzle.

Too many variables.

Too many unknowns.

Are we going to feel like idiots when we find out what it is?

Yeah, fair point.

Not being able to answer the question, but coming up with a totally specious reply is probably just as good.

I can see I am wasting your time as well as mine.

The bomb doors opening would be something.

Oh no...I feel like the turtle from Neverending Story.

I agree with Pyro...The possible reasons are endless.
He could have been flying upside down. We don&#39;t know. :)

a woman lives on the 28th floor of a highrise apartment building. When she comes home from work, she gets to her apartment in one of two ways:
a. if she&#39;s alone she gets in the elevator, rides to 20th floor, then takes the stairs the rest of the way
b. if she&#39;s with someone, she rides all the way up to the 28th floor

discuss why she does this.

The way the question is asked is the important thing. It&#39;s not multiple choice.

A woman arives home at her building .

She gets it the elevator and goes to the 20th floor.

She gets off and walks up the next 4 flights of steps.

Discuss.

There are 15 pool balls in front of you. They are identical in appearance (same size, same colour), but one of the balls is slightly heavier than the others.
You have to pick the ball which is heavier than the others. To do this, you have the use of a set of scales. The scales are not digital, and only tell you which side is heavier. You have up to three uses of the scales. How do you identify the heavier ball?
P.S. you can&#39;t just pick them up and decide that way.

because i was quite confident ;)

->

The Thompson triplets were sitting around watching television.

The reception was so bad that they decided

to throw away their TV and go buy a new one.

They checked their wallets and found that they only had &#036;10 each.

So they took their &#036;30 to a second hand store.

They met a salesman who told them he had a TV for sale for &#036;30.

So they gave him &#036;30 and took the TV.

However, when the salesman went in the back of the store

he realized that the price was supposed to be &#036;25.

So he ran back outside to give them their &#036;5 back.

But when he realized they had each paid &#036;10

he didn&#39;t want to make it confusing so he only gave them &#036;1 back each

and he kept the other two dollars for himself.

OK, let&#39;s recap. They paid &#036;10 each which is &#036;30 total.

The salesman gave them back &#036;1 each and he kept &#036;2 for himself.

So they actually spent &#036;10 each minus &#036;1 each.

Which means they spent &#036;9 each.

9 X 3 = &#036;27,

The salesman kept &#036;2.

That&#39;s a total of &#036;29.

Where&#39;s the other dollar?

ok, what about this one, i&#39;ve posted it before, can&#39;t remember who got it that time. pretty easy though
There are 15 pool balls in front of you. They are identical in appearance (same size, same colour), but one of the balls is slightly heavier than the others.
You have to pick the ball which is heavier than the others. To do this, you have the use of a set of scales. The scales are not digital, and only tell you which side is heavier. You have up to three uses of the scales. How do you identify the heavier ball?
P.S. you can&#39;t just pick them up and decide that way.
Thats a math problem. Not a logic problem.

For the first try, you put 7 on each side.
If they are the same weight, the left over ball is the heaviest.

If not, use your second try.

Of the seven that weighed more, put three on one side and three on the other.

If they weigh the same, the left over ball is the heaviest.

If not, use your third and last try.

Of the three that weighed more, put one on one side and one on the other.

If they are the same, the one not weighed is heavier. Otherwise, well...You get it I hope.

The Thompson triplets were sitting around watching television.

The reception was so bad that they decided

to throw away their TV and go buy a new one.

They checked their wallets and found that they only had &#036;10 each.

So they took their &#036;30 to a second hand store.

They met a salesman who told them he had a TV for sale for &#036;30.

So they gave him &#036;30 and took the TV.

However, when the salesman went in the back of the store

he realized that the price was supposed to be &#036;25.

So he ran back outside to give them their &#036;5 back.

But when he realized they had each paid &#036;10

he didn&#39;t want to make it confusing so he only gave them &#036;1 back each

and he kept the other two dollars for himself.

OK, let&#39;s recap. They paid &#036;10 each which is &#036;30 total.

The salesman gave them back &#036;1 each and he kept &#036;2 for himself.

So they actually spent &#036;10 each minus &#036;1 each.

Which means they spent &#036;9 each.

9 X 3 = &#036;27,

The salesman kept &#036;2.

That&#39;s a total of &#036;29.

Where&#39;s the other dollar?
crap... i&#39;ve done one of these before... but i forget how&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33; i remember it has something to do with how the money is added together, where either addition or subtraction is used, while the opposite is actually supposed to be used... :(

if you add it up backwards it works
so the salesman gave each of the three 1 dollar each (that&#39;s three dollars)
he kept two dollars
girls paid 9 each (27)
actually, that doesn&#39;t work either

I hate these things.
They look like they&#39;re right, but they can&#39;t be.

Ok...

10&#036; each

1&#036; back

equals

9&#036; each

They paid 27&#036; for a 25&#036; TV.
The store keeper kept the other two dollars.
You would have to return the other 3 dollars back to the store keeper to get the &#036;30.
You added where you should have subtracted.

Or were heading toward the wrong answer. :)

its a place where basically anything goes, and therefore posts aren&#39;t counted.

people like Z (zed :D) would look like someone who knew a lot cause he would have like 600 posts. and people would think that they could believe what he says, (when really you shouldn&#39;t :P)
