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?

Jack of Spades, I presume, or Ace if that is your technique.

In card terms, the possible ones at each stage are:
Black suits: Spades 23456789JQKA, Clubs 23456789JQKA
Not Clubs: Spades 23456789JQKA
Better than average: prob.789JQKA, unless Ace counts as one.
Spotted: All number cards are (sort of) spotted. JQKA
Unmarried: The King and Queen must be married. J or A
It's all a matter of personal taste whether or not Ace is counted as a substitute for one or as one of the top cards, therefore the more likely answer is Jack of Spades.

Right, Leola!
Also there was another easy explanation: Put all the odd numbers in one row and all the even ones in the other, witth 5 still at the centre.

Queue (probably) 4 Mark's riddle

Here's a nice one : 6. How did James legally marry three women in Detroit, without divorcing any of them, becoming legally separated, or any of them dying?

Ercule: Lyra had $50, Ercule had $30.

Vulkie: If I had not heard of that one before, I'd be puzzled. However, I have, so I'm not. And he isn't a polygamist. He's a priest, who married the women to someone else, NOT himself.

For fans of Monty Python:
What is the average speed velocity of unladen swallow?
