ok since every one finds the riddles to easy i've search and got a harder one:-
A 30 year old man married a 25 year old woman. She died at age 50 and her husband was so devastated that he cried for years. Ten years after he stopped crying, he died. If he had lived to be 80, how many years was he a widower?

I did this one ages ago. So long ago that I think the threads dissapeared, so I'll ask it again, see if any of you can remember. It's a tough one:
The sherrif rides into town on Friday, stays four days and four nights and leaves on Sunday.
How?
mwahahahahaha!

I think the trick is that people add or subtract the ten years he was crying. It's all about putting useless information in the question. Like that one with the train.
(No, I'm not gonna tell you that one. I'll leave you in suspense)

So... do you agree that you made a mistake? I got distracted by pretty light on moon.

"Unless he remarried afterwards, 35 years. That seemed a bit too easy, mind..."
"Don't you mean 25?"
Let's have a proper look.
Woman is 25 years old. She dies at 50, so 25 years pass. The man is 55 when she dies.
He dies at 80, so 80 - 55 = 25. I do A-Level maths, you know. :0D
I think there was something in the newspaper the other day about how A-Level students cannot add, subtract, divide or multiply very well, because of all the useless crap they do.
I fully agree.
