"I Leave Ye with a Riddle..."

Basically someone posts a riddle, if you know the answer, you post the answer along with another riddle. You'll recieve 1 point for each one you get right, the names will be place on the score board, in the order of the most points.

Rules
1. Only one answer per member per question.
2. Once a question gets five wrong answers a new one will be set.
3. If a riddle isn't solved after a day, a new one will be set.
4. Don't use the Internet to find the answer. However, if you're to set the question, you may.
5. I'll decide who gets the point (by this, I mean, if you argue with me, I'll reset your score)
6. You can ask questions, within reason.
7. Rules 1 and 2 are lifted if the riddle contains a good few paragraphs.
8. If a riddle needs to be set, anyone can set them.

Five minutes each.

Edit: Sorry for the double-post. *gasp*

Because the shadow wouldn't be visible to Sunflower - it'd be behind her because the sun was in front of her.

I work it out as being the same as 1 snail moving 8 snail lengths then having to move two before the last snail gets on, then having to move another 8 before the last snail leaves the bridge, so that's 1 snail length every errr... 2 and 7/9 minutes, the bridge is 8 snail lengths so that's... 22 and 2/9 minutes... which is... what Tim said.

Oh right, I thought you meant Bob had the answer, sorry!

Sunflower was sitting on a rock crying when Detective Crossbob came and stood by her.

"I didn't mean to kill him, honestly!"

"Just tell me what happened." Crossbob said.

"Well me and Chaos were out hunting the bears around here.. I was following it's tracks.. and Chaos was following another track." Sunflower sniffed. "I followed it West through the woods, all the time the sun was in my eyes.. then eventually, after tracking it for a while, I came across the bear! It was standing right in front of me, and I could hardly see it for the light glaring at me.. But as I was sneaking up on it to fire, I was so nervous.. so nervous, thinking it could see me and attack at any time.. then I saw a shadow creeping up from behind.. I didn't recognise the shadow, I thought it was another bear! It was pure instinct. I turned around and shot faster than I could think, still blinded from the light a little.. and it was Chaos.. he must have followed me. I'm so sorry, I really didn't mean to shoot him, and now he's dead." Sunflower broke down in tears.

Detective Crossbob hmmed to himself. "I'm arresting you on suspicion of murder, Miss Sunflower. I'm afraid that story won't work on me."

Why wasn't Crossbob convinced?

Oh and, all answers so far are wrong.

Ah bob, you are correct, I'll edit the post.

22 minutes and 13 1/3 seconds.

I'll say 5 minutes. We need another murder mystery riddle :D

Am I banned from this one? :P

I don't understand, the snails cross in single file but you tell us how wide the path is; shouldn't it be that it's long, not wide, enough for 8 to be on at once?
