Well, since no one else put the answer for the balloon one, here goes:
Two men were crossing a desert in a hot air balloon. They ran out of fuel, and the balloon began to descend. If they hit the ground, both of them would have starved, so they decided to lighten the balloon by throwing off some weight. First they threw out all their clothes, but the balloon continued its descent. So they decided that one had to jump off, so that at least one survived. This was decided by drawing a straw, which the dead man was holding.
Have a go at this one, though it's not terribly difficult (nor is it a riddle :P):
Two cars meandered along the winding country road and came to an abrupt stop at the park's gate. Seven men got out of the two cars and proceeded along a footpath when it began to rain. Six of the men began to walk faster to get out of the rain, but the seventh man couldn't be bothered. Ironically it was the seventh man who remained dry and the other six got soaked. Since all seven men arrived at their destination together, how was this possible?
:ninja:
why couldnt the seventh man have had an umbrella?
