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?

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!

Mar-17-2010 08:27

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

Mar-17-2010 08:42

Right answer Adam. I'm impressed ;-)

Does the house need a floor and a roof as well?

Mar-17-2010 08:53

No, just the four walls will suffice :)

Mar-17-2010 08:55

1520 then?

Mar-17-2010 09:19

Nope, that's wrong. You need to stop overthinking (or perhaps, start?)

Mar-17-2010 10:05

Hmm is it one? Since up until that point you're building it, but you only need one to complete it?

Nice work Heim! Yes, you only need one brick to complete the building, the rest is just working on building it.
