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?

A couple of silly answers to the man in the new house one.

He had run them down in his car the night before.

By switching off all the lights, he switched off all the life support machines in the hospital he was in.

He forgot to put the handbrake on in his car and it rolled into a Lloyd Grossman lookalike contest. 365 Lloyd Grossman's killed in fireball.

He switched off all the lights meaning the boat carrying 365 people crashed and they died.

He switched off the landing light meaning the plane crashed.

Very good :D

This one is probably too difficult

A man moved into a new house and decided he was tired after the journey and turned off all the lights and went to bed. The next morning he had killed 365 people how could this be? he does not sleep walk he slept like a baby
