Riddles

I found one:

A man was found murdered one Sunday morning.

His wife immediately called the police.

The police questioned the wife and staff and was given these alibis:
The Wife said she was in bed reading a book.
The Cook claimed she cooking breakfast.
The Gardener claimed he was planting seeds.
The Maid claimed she was getting the mail.
The Butler claimed he polishing the silver.

The police instantly arrested the murdered. Who did it and how did they know?

grr. :D

3 men walk into a hotel.


There is only one room left and it is 30 dollars.


The men decide to pay 10 dollars each.


Later on the manager decides it was too much to charge them so he takes 5 dollars out of the 30.


But then he decides that since you can't split


5 dollars even between 3 people, he takes 2 dollars out and puts it back in his pocket and gives each man a dollar back.


So now each man has actually only paid 9 dollars each.


so, 9 times 3 equals 27


27 plus the 2 dollars in the managers pocket, is only 29.


where did the other dollar go???

I couldn't even figure this out, and I'm trying to find the answer...
 
well i gave that riddle one out, check back the other page i think
and someone also answered it, but ill explain it again.
There is no missing dollar.
You are not trying to find the thirty dollars - you're trying to find twenty five dollars - the 3 guys paid thirty, minus the 3 they got back, minus the 2 in the clerk's pocket - you're not supposed to add them when he gives it back, it's still part of the same thirty.
 
another riddle:

There are ten bags containing marbles. Each bag has at least 10 marbles in it. Nine of the bags contains only marbles weighting 10 grams each. One of the bags contains only marbles weighing nine grams each. Each bag has a different number of marbles in it. All of the marbles look exactly the same. The riddle is how can you know which bag has the nine gram marbles if the only device allowed to be used is a weighing scales which you can use only once?

Very tricky lamel, I must say. :D

however, I know the answer.

You line the bags up and take 1 from the first, 2 from the second ect. then if it ends in 9 it's from the first bag, 8 second, 7 third, ect. ^_^

try this out. I think it may have been posted already, but who knows.

A king had three sons. he needed to figure out which son was going to inherit his kingdom so he gathered them all together. he gave each of them an identical room and a gold coin. he told them that whoever bought something with the gold and filled the room the fullest would get his kingdom. the first son bought hay and filled the room about half full. the second son bought feathers and filled it almost all the way. the third son bought only 2 things and they both fit into his pocket. he inherited the kingdom...what did he buy?
 
here's another one

Jack is a farmer and owns some chickens. One day, he took a basket of fresh eggs to the market to sell.

The first person bought half of all the eggs in the basket and half an egg.

Then, the second person bought half of the remaining eggs and half an egg.

Later, the third person bought half of the remaining eggs and half an egg.

Now Jack's basket has only 1 egg left.

If no eggs were broken in the process, how many eggs did he originally have in his basket?

Well, first off it's impossible to have 3 halves or a basket of eggs. :D But that's not the point.

he had 15 eggs. half of 15 = 7 1/2 + 1/2 = 8 eggs. So jack has 7 eggs now and half of that is 3 and a hlaf + the other half is 4. And the pattern continues.

I've hear it before. :D

Alright, try this one out. :D

With pointed fangs it sits in wait,
With piercing force its doles out fate,
Over bloodless victims proclaiming its might,
Eternally joining in a single bite.
What am I?
 
stapler..........:p

another one:

A man goes to work each day and dies, then comes home. Several other people at his job die too, and get paid for it. How is it he dies daily?
 
he's an actor?

(I've heard this one before but I don't remember the answer)

does it have something to do with the singular form of dice?
