These relative things are easy, there are 3 women there.

The grandmother, the mother and the daughter.

The grandmother and the mother are both mothers, and the mother and the daughter are both daughters.

The man was actually reaching for an apple but the plum was in the way and it was really soft. Now the plum had had and affair with a bright red cherry who quite caught her pip. The cherry had left her with the 4 little pips for a tangerine.

... and the worm was a pet of one of the cherries.

A man put his finger in a plum and pulled out 4 cherries but one of the cherries had a worm in and the worm was only three

how?

Yup.

That's how I worked it out by the way, process of elimination.

Well I know the first.

Second - live, to live?

Lastly - comma.

Easy, they were part of triplets.

Okay, since most of these have just been lateral thinking puzzles, here are some actual riddles:

Some famous ones first, don't answer if you already know it; that's no fun.

What has four legs in the morning, two at noon, and three at night?

What runs but never walks? What has a bed but never sleeps? What has a mouth but never talks?

And two more classical style riddles:

My first is in lemon but not in icing
My second is in song but not in singing
My third is in voice but never in choir
My fourth is in hired, fired and tired
My whole is powerful and desired


My first is in case and generic
My second is in prose and Homeric
My third is in hymns and also synonyms
My fourth is in form and numeric
My fifth is in clause, and the whole is a pause

sorry :'(
