Know any good riddles to sharpen the mind? Yeah? Let's play The Riddler. Each day (or shorter for the smarties out there), someone will post a riddle to solve. The member who posts the correct answer becomes The Riddler and has to post the next riddle. If the riddle isn't solved within 24 hours, then The Riddler must give the answer and post the next riddle. The object of game is to "stump the people' and remain as The Riddler for as long as you can. Since googling is allowed, it's going to be rough to keep the position. Good Luck. :D

Here's the first one

etc.

Next Riddle:A man walks up to you and says - "everything I say to you is a lie."
Is he telling you the truth or is he lying?
 
Neither.... I think it is called a paralogism... correct me if I'm wrong... :oops:

My bro graduated Philosophy... and we used to have many discussions... one of these is such as the above...

But it was a little different, with a crocodile and a man and his son... :)

ANSWER: He's lying. Even though he's lying when he says "everything" he says is a lie, some of the things he says can be a lie, and this is one of them.

ANSWER:Five. If you said ten, don't feel bad as most people do. "Each team" is the key here.

NEXT RIDDLE: A boy was at a carnival and went to a booth where a man said to the boy, "If I write your exact weight on this piece of paper then you have to give me $50, but if I cannot, I will pay you $50."

The boy looked around and saw no scale so he agrees, thinking no matter what the carny writes he'll just say he weighs more or less.

In the end the boy ended up paying the man $50. How did the man win the bet?

QUESTION: A man while looking at a photograph said, "Brothers and sisters have I none. That man's father is my father's son." Who was the person in the photograph?
 
R1: I pass befor the sun, yet make no shadow. What am I?

R2: No sooner spoken than broken. What is it?
 
Okay, an easy one....
A bus driver was heading down a street in Colorado. He went right past a stop sign without stopping, he turned left where there was a "no left turn" sign, and he went the wrong way on a one-way street. Then he went on the left side of the road past a cop car. Still - he didn't break any traffic laws. Why not?
 
OK, how's this... a car's odometer shows 72927 miles, a palindromic number. What are the minimum miles you would need to travel to form another?
