sorry
;) Sweat it not.
A census taker approaches a house and asks the woman who answers the door, "How many children do you have, and what are their ages?" Woman: "I have three children, the product of their ages are 36, the sum of their ages are equal to the address of the house next door." The census taker walks next door. There he sees that the house number is 13. He then comes back and says, "I need more information." The woman replies, "I have to go, my oldest child is sleeping upstairs." Census taker: "Thank you, I have everything I need." Question: What are the ages of each of the three children?
6 + 6 + 1=13
6 X 6 X 1=36 ;)
not quite riddler, look at it more closely
:huh: 9 X 2 X 2=36
9 + 2 + 2=13
well done
the key was when the woman said that her oldest was sleeping
because she said oldest, this ruled out 6, 6 and 1, because then the two 6 year olds would both be the oldest.
well done though
What's the difference between a lion in agony and a wet day?

one's roaring with pain, the other is poaring with rain :lol:
ok, a new one
A man is standing in a room. The room has one door and a small air vent in one corner.
In the room is a light bulb box with a burnt out bulb in it. There's a recently fitted new bulb in the light fitting, which is on the twelve foot ceiling. The guy hasn't opened the door since the new bulb was fitted and there's nothing else in the room.
How did he change the bulb?
The first one sounds very much like it could be some sort of virus or disease. :unsure:Quote:

Well, here's a real riddle for you then. It's not terribly difficult, I really need to find my good riddle book. ;)
In former days my father and mother,
Abandoned me dead, lacking breath or life or being.
Then one began, a kinswoman kind, to care for and love me;
Covered me with her clothing, wrapped me in her raiment, with the same affection she felt for her own;
Until by the law of my life's shaping, under alien bosom, I quickened with breath.
My foster mother fed me thereafter, until I grew and strengthened for flight.
Then of her dear ones, of daughters and sons, she had fewer for what she did.
Edit: I've decided to put two here. ;)
I'm told a certain something grows in its pouch, swells and stands up, lifts its covering.
A proud bride grasped that boneless wonder, the daughter of a king covered that swollen thing with clothing.
:ninja:
The second one may have already been answered by wee, if that's her term for Mr. Happy ! :D
Am I warm, Magic ? :huh:
:lol: The guy's like, nine feet tall ?Quote:

no, he's only 6 feet tall
think about the vent...
The room didn't have any water in it at one time did it ? ;)Quote:

no, but you're on the right lines.
i think i'll tell give the answer in 10 mins if no-one objects. you're so close, i think it may be an unfair riddle if you don't have any chemical knowledge
hang on a sec......liquid chemicals or gas ? :huh:
solids with low m.p's (actually sublimation)
lol, that gives the answer away though
Ice ?
no, dry ice (solid carbon dioxide)
it sublimes at a low temp (changes straight from solid to a gas)
the reason you need the vent is to get rid of the carbon dioxide gas (which can be deadly in enclosed spaces)
if it was ice, you wouldn't need the vent, and there would be ice on the floor as you said
well done though :D
a new one:
A farmer is digging in his field when he spots a coin. He looks it over and sees that it's dated 44bc.
the manthinks he's rich beyond his wildest dreams
Turns out the coin is completely worthless...
Why?
:lol: That had me going for a second, but of course, if it was made b.c. someone would have had to be clairvoyant to know that C. was going to be born in 44 years ! ;)Quote:

If at first you don't succeed, skydiving's not for you ! :lol:

This is an unusual paragraph. It looks so plain you would think nothing was wrong with it. In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is unusual though. Study it, and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd, but if you work at it a bit, you might find out. In fact, it is unusual apart from its colour and I could also join this additional bit onto it and still for such a long paragraph it is most distinctly odd!
;) Mother.....................correct
6.................correct
eeeee's = 0
