Pekkel, you're wrong. I don't see what's so hard about #10, just look at how its worded. Also, the bus driver was walking, not driving, good job Scrollmaker!

"A blind man tells how he lost a bet to his best friend. The blind man says he placed a bet where his other friend had to place brandy in an empty cup ice cold in the middle of the night while the cup is in a safe without even making a sound. The blind man even said he felt the ice when the man placed it in the cup.

The blind man now asks you how is this possible? I feel as if I've been cheated."


Heres another simple one tongue.gif

A King, The Kings Sister, The Kings Friend, And The Friends Wife are having dinner at the kings castle. At the end of dinner only 3 pies were left, how did "all" of the people present at the dinner get an equal share without breaking or cutting the pie in any way?

Someone has to answer THEM!!!

Do that I'll and I'll stop bothering you guys about it XD.

For that soda thing were the 2 dads actually only 1?

They each got .75 of the pie. Either that or the friend's wife is the kings sister meaning there are 3 people and they each got 1.

Well since the pie can't be broken or cut...you are correct about that. Wasn't too hard right? Just need the other one now lol.

"A blind man tells how he lost a bet to one of his friends. The blind man says he placed a bet where his other friend had to place ice cold brandy in a cup with ice in the middle of the night while the cup is in a safe without him even making a sound. His friend then placed a few ice cubes in the cup. The blind man even said he felt the ice when the man placed it in the cup.

I dunno I added a few things to make it a bit easier but I'm not sure how to rephrase it without giving it away.

13. It was actually a statue of a man at the age of 33?

No, It was a real man, read the riddle over, it has a different meaning than what you people take it for.

Fu Leng, for the first one, the ice cubes were actually frozen brandy cubes. So after the ice melted it became brandy! Right...? ermm.gif

Yet I don't even have to move to irritate you.
What am I?

Ah, I think I remember number 13. If I remember the puzzle right, the 1530 is the room number he was born in from the hospital.

Also, I already answered 10. happy.gif

Good for you CheeZe, finally someone got that. Also Scrollmaker, she did have seven boys, so you got that, but how do you buy light? The riddle specifically said he bought something.

A candle and a match. Fills the room with light.
