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?

Humans (it's the old sphinx riddle).

4 - toddlers crawling
2 - adults
3 - old age and walking with a stick

Yep I think that's the answer too. Sadly Sleepy couldnt solve this one :(

What is it that, after you take away the whole, some still remains?

Don't know if this has been solved yet (I'm too lazy to read down the posts!) but they pile the earth from the tunnel under the unbarred window so they can climb up it and out the window.

Frog is good but I think they can crawl as well as jump.

Well done Sleepy :)

But the door is locked. The opening sentence says so....

Wish he'd get back and let me know if I was right :)
