There are three men in a boat, they all have a cigarrette, but no matches and no lighters. How did they manage to smoke?

Its a tricky one, but if you've seen Batman (with Burt Ward and Adam West), you should know the answer. I dare say its funny, but its pretty clever. Good luck good people!

And they didn't manage to smoke, which is what the question asked.

Bah.

But the cigarette would gain more weight, as it obsorbs the water. It would just be less dense than the water, so it will float.

That sucks, mainly because it's wrong.

Bah. That's crap.

They still haven't smoked.

"Holy luminoius waffle irons Batman, I've workd out how to make us a cigarette lighter"

"Good work Robin. How do we do it?"

"We throw a cigarette overboard, then we'll be a cigarette lighter."

Typical "Riddler" type riddle from Batman....

However, they still haven't managed to smoke their cancer sticks yet!

It's called a pun. He threw one cigarrette overboard and made it a cigarrette lighter, as in lightening the weight of the boat and as an inatimate object in a device that lights cigarrettes.

Nope - all wrong. Here's the answer:

There are three men in a boat, they all have a cigarrette, but no matches and no lighters. How did they manage to smoke?

They threw a cigarrette overboard and make it a cigarrette lighter!

:D It's as simple as that. I have to go now. Ciao!
