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?

Let's assume they're crossing right to left, so to start, we have:
Right- Human x 3 Cannibal x3
Left-
Have one cannibal and one human cross together.
Right- Human x2 Cannibal x2
Left- Human x1 Cannibal x1
Have one human come back with the boat. Have two cannibals cross together.
Right- Human x3
Left- Cannibal x3
Have one Cannibal come back with the boat. Have two humans cross together.
Right- Human x 1 Cannibal x1
Left- Human x2 Cannibal x2
Have a human and a cannibal come back with the boat. Have two humans cross together.
Right- Cannibal x2
Left- Human x3 Cannibal x1
Have a cannibal come back with the boat. Have two cannibals cross together.
Right- Cannibal x 1
Left- Human x 3 Cannibal x2
Have a cannibal or a human come back with the boat, pick up the final cannibal and cross back to the left shore.
Right-
Left- Human x 3 Cannibal x 3
There may be a way to do it in less steps, but this is what I came up with.

Another one:
The one who makes it sells it.
The one who buys it doesn't use it.
The one who's using it doesn't know he's using it.
What is it?

@Heimlich... Sir, As usual great. :).. it's spot on...
@Lyra: It might be a Coffin... but the one can buy his own coffin right... saying "when i die put me into it"
Riddle: This person has 4 hands maybe even 5 but he is considered normal! how is it possible?

Got that right!
Is it that a person has two hands, and if they are wearing a watch, (it could have two or three hands), so it would be four or five hands. Is that right?

Why is it hard for a ghost to tell a lie?

You see right through it, maybe? Just a guess...
The beginning of eternity,
The end of time and space,
The beginning of every evil,
The end of every place.
Can you guess THIS enigma? My hardest yet...

I 'll second Weine's answer.. "nice witty riddle"- Lyra
Answer to William: -
It's just the beginning of the 'enigma' and hence also the end of 'me'
So i'll presume if the answer is just the old letter 'E'. !!!!

A very easy one now...
How many times can you subtract 5 from 25?

Once! coz' then 25 becomes 20, but in mathematical sense its infinite.. :P

That's right, Ercule!
Mathematical wise... infinite? Riddlewise, once. :)
