    Gonna re-open this forum game started by the Lovely HDBeech. Hopefully I can put up a new riddle every day.

    So here is an easy one to start it off...

    Here on Earth it's always true, that a day follows a day. But there is a place where yesterday always follows today!

    1---A triangle with sides measuring 300”, 400”, and 500”.

    Ok Only one Guess???
    Well Howard you are right. For this is a trick riddle. Number 2 can not be a triangle, geometrically impossible.

    OK Here is the next...

    Romeo and Juliet are found dead on the floor in a bedroom. When they were discovered, there were pieces of glass and some water on the floor. The only furniture in the room is a shelf and a bed. The house in is a remote location, away from everything except for the nearby railway track. What caused the death of Romeo and Juliet?
  • September 4, 2010 2:39 PM PDT
    Looks like they were bored to death. I would have been, or starved.

    Yeah kind of like this topic.... not too many replies...

    Sorry Howard but...

    Romeo and Juliet are fish. The rumble of the train knocked the tank off the shelf.

    Next! a little easier

    There are 20 people in an empty, square room. Each person has full sight of the entire room and everyone in it. If you are not allowed to move in any way (other than your eyes). Where can you place an apple so that all but one person can see it?

    OK Close Howard Just go a little higher...

    Place it on one persons head.

    Now for the newest

    A boy was at a carnival and went to a booth where a man said to the boy, "If I write your exact weight on this piece of paper then you have to give me $50, but if I cannot, I will pay you $50." The boy looked around and saw no scale so he agrees, thinking no matter what the carny writes he'll just say he weighs more or less. In the end the boy ended up paying the man $50. How did the man win the bet?

  • September 6, 2010 5:50 AM PDT
    It has nothing to do with his weight.
