The game's very simple. You just have to post a riddle, and the person who posts next should try answering it, and should post their own riddle.

Example:
Why do birds fly South in winter?

Are they now? I didn't know that!

Mar-16-2010 12:22

Sure they are. But you have to solve the riddle to know why.

InTheShadows got it! Nice job! I always give that one to students if I want them to be busy for a class.

I'm going to do the same myself with my class. Loved it. I'll be impressed if you know the answer to mine though :-P

I just read an article about evil numbers, but I'm still none the wiser!

Don't need much knowledge about numbers. Algebra would be nice to know though...

I'll have a stab at the "Girls are evil" riddle:

First we state that girls require time and money.
girls = time x money
And as we all know ''time is money.''
money = time
Therefore:
girls = money x money = (money)^2
And because ''money is the root of all evil'':
money = √evil
Therefore:
girls = (√evil)^2
So, we are forced to conclude that:
girls = evil

I'm not so sure about the boys one, but I guess its a variation on the same theme?

And for a riddle:

How many 1 foot by 1 foot bricks would it take to complete a building that's 20 feet long on all four sides and 20 feet high?

Mar-17-2010 08:23

Depends how thick the walls are!

Ok, imagine it's one brick thick too then ;)
