good job. have you heard it before or did you figure it out. i always remember this riddle from long time ago.
here's a hard one for you.. A man was to be sentenced, and the judge told him, "You may make a statement. If it is true, I'll sentence you to four years in prison. If it is false, I'll sentence you to six years in prison." After the man made his statement, the judge decided to let him go free. What did the man say?
Everything I say is a lie. If I'm lying then I'm telling he truth and if I'm telling the truth, then I'm lying. Or something to that effect...
you're right dr. zoom. i believe the answer entails that either way the judge would have to break his promise by answering him, and since he doesn't want to 'break his judicial prowess' or something he lets him go
People try to kill knowing full well it is eternal. Then they spend it, because it is money, even though it's not.
The man who made it didn't want it. The man who bought it didn't need it. The man who used it didn't know it. What is it? Spoiler A coffin.
Brad stared through the dirty soot-smeared window on the 22nd floor of the office tower. Overcome with depression he slid the window open and jumped through it. It was a sheer drop outside the building to the ground. Miraculously after he landed he was completely unhurt. Since there was nothing to cushion his fall or slow his descent, how could he have survived the fall? Spoiler Brad is a window washer. He stepped inside the building.

A rich old man has died. After his death, his children are surprised to learn that he has left all of his money to his oldest son Jeremiah, who loved him dearly, and ignored his other children, who hated him. So, the funeral is a day or two later, and the other sons and daughters have decided to kill Jeremiah and take his inheritance. Since his father's death, Jeremiah has taken to drinking, and they know that, at the wake, he's going to be gulping down the liquor like it was nectar of the gods. So they decide to poison the drinks. One of the other sons, Wallace, tends bar, and gets the poison all ready. So Jeremiah comes up, crying and depressed, and orders a scotch on the rocks. Wallace serves him one, and he chugs it down in two seconds. "Give me another." Wallace gives him a second glass of scotch, which he also drinks in a matter of moments. The other siblings are puzzled...the poison is fast-acting; Jeremiah should be convulsing on the floor and retching his guts out. Finally, fifteen minutes later, a rather inebriated and very much alive Jeremiah orders one last glass of scotch, but as Wallace hands it to him, he changes his mind and leaves, sobbing. The other siblings come over to Wallace, and wonder what's going on. They talk about what could have gone wrong for a few minutes, and figure the poison's harmless. So Wallace sips the drink he poured for Jeremiah, and is pronounced DOA thirty minutes later. Why did Jeremiah live? Assume that he has no natural immunity to poison. Spoiler The poison was in the ice cubes.
A poor man met a rich man at a bar. The poor man, seeing how much money the rich man had in his wallet, went the the rich man and said, "I can sing every song in the world. You name a lady's name and I'll sing a song with that name in it. If I succeed you must give me the money in your wallet." The rich man agreed, thinking the poor man was being ridiculous, and the rich man said, "Ok, then. How about my daughter's name: Joanna Miller-Armstrong." What song did the poor man sing? Spoiler "Happy Birthday."
John Smith is born in Boston, Massachusetts. His parents were also born in Boston, Massachusetts, live there, pay taxes, and are there legally. Yet John is not a citizen of the United States of America. Why not? Spoiler Because John was born prior to 1776.
took me a litle while but the number 53 gave it away. the man must have been killed over a card game. [like poker]
Break me to make me better - I am immediately set. But now harder to break again - I'm the best result yet. What am I?
b/c he's dead. or you're talking about 2 different john's. or john smith isn't human. I figured I couldn't go wrong with 3 answers. lol
I think its a play on words like joe and a miller or maybe joe and amelia armstrong. I don't know if either is a song title, but that's my best guess.
maybe the alcohol and poison don't mix [like oil and water]; if so, the brother that drank the last cup got all the poison.
Four members of a band are walking to a night concert. They decide to take a shortcut, but must cross a bridge. Luckily they have one flashlight. Because of the varying size of their instruments, it takes each member a different amount of time to cross the bridge - it takes the first person one minute, the second person two minutes, the third person five minutes and the fourth person ten minutes. They must cross the bridge in pairs, travelling at the slower speed so if the one minute person went with the ten minute person, it would take a total of ten minutes. Since there is only one flashlight, one person must come back across the bridge, then another pair can cross. They only have 17 minutes to cross the bridge and still get to the concert on time. What order should they cross to get everyone across and get to the concert? Spoiler First, the one minute person and the two minute person must cross the bridge, for a total of two minutes. Then the one minute person should come back with flashlight - total of three minutes. The five minute person and the ten minute person cross together next, making the total thirteen minutes. Now the two minute person goes back and (total now fifteen minutes) and gets the one minute person and they cross together bringing the total to seventeen minutes.
Nope. But you're on the right track. Nope. Think of a song that could be used with ANY name. Nope, nope, and nope. I actually just found that one and thought it was clever. Well done!
First the 2 and 1 minute people cross, and the 2 min. guy comes back (total - 4 mins). Then the 5 and 10 minute guys cross, with the 1 min guy coming back (total - 11 mins). The 2 and 1 minute guys cross again, and everyone's to the other side (total - 2 mins). Total time = 17 mins.
