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?

And, your answer to my previous riddle is right, Ms Rune.

His plan is to dig the tunnel and pile up the dirt to reach the window.

And the answer to my riddle from earlier is indeed a splinter!

You are sitting next to a man in a bar. The man next to you asks the bartender for a glass of water. The bartender examines the man for a moment, then reaches under the counter and pulls out a shotgun point blank in the man's face. The man says "Thank you" and walks out of the bar. Why did the man get what he needed?

A large truck is crossing a bridge 1 mile long. The bridge can only hold 14000 lbs, which is the exact weight of the truck. The truck makes it half way across the bridge and stops. A bird lands on the truck. Does the bridge collapse?

No. You have to subtract the gas that was used while driving the half mile.

Who are the two brothers who live on opposite sides of the road yet never see each other?

*waits for M. Lacrimosa to explain Ercule's number sequence*

Allow Me!
Let's examine the numbers:
77, 49, 36, 18, 08, 00

Counting the differences makes no difference, but multiplication means:
7X7=49
Does this work for later ones?
4X9=36
3X6=18
1X8=08
0X8=00

Indeed it does. Ercule, am I correct?
