A wonderful suggestion by the lovely Sleepy. The return of a thread full of riddles. Lets see how smart you all are. :D

Here, I'll post a few to get started, can you solve them? If you want, post your own. Remember, no cheating ;)

----

Can you name three consecutive days without using the words Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday?

A beggar's brother died, but the man who died had no brother. How could that be?

A word I know, six letters it contains, subtract one, and twelve remains. What am I?

Lol that was one. That is the opening statement. You ask questions to which I answer yes / no and try to piece the answers together to give you the reason why / how / what happened.

Chaos - the answer is 3! and I'm off to hit my head on a wall for not getting that immediately :)

Sleepy I had a search, are you having any luck finding these riddles you mentioned earlier?

""a man has been found dead in the middle of the forest"

What happened?"

Type riddles. Would like to do some.

oh, oh the first one - is it twenty?

(for some reason I thought it was only 10 white socks and 10 black ones)

It must be. If you remove 19 of them they can all be the same colour..... oh Fudgecake!!

Wrong, wrong, WRONG!

and I thought I was wrong with the 'eleven' but I hate probability trees which you need to know to solve the first two sock questions :(

That's not how I read it but in that case they are playing doubles and are on the same team :)

They whack the guard with the tunneling spoon?

Um, let's see... it must involve the tunneling... Oh it's too early for this!
