This topic is for riddles. i love riddles
once someone solves the riddle, somebody else can post a new one.
I'll start:
There were two fathers and two sons that went fishing. each one caught a fish and brought them home to eat, but when they got home, there were only three fish.
- They didn't drop any fish on the way back
- They didn't eat a fish before they got home
- They didn't release any fish
How is this possible?

Uhh let's see... the son, father, and grandfather are the ones fishing
yes!!!!! nice job.
i guess i'll post another one:
A merchant man is going to the market to sell a sheep, a wolf, and some hay. He must cross a river to get to the market. The boat to get across only holds him and one of the items. If the following are left alone together:
- The sheep will eat the hay
- The wolf will eat the sheep
But, the wolf will not eat the hay.
How did the merchant get across with all of his items?

He takes the sheep across, Comes back, takes the wolf across, comes back with the sheep, takes the hay across and leaves the sheep, comes back, takes the sheep across.

heres another one:
A father of two sons has died in Texas. The two sons lived in Kentucky. According to the father's will, he said that the second horse's owner to arrive at his home will get all the money and items that he had. So the two sons ventured out on their own horses, each one going very slow so they wouldn't be the first one to get there. Things were going very slow and they weren't getting very far. They asked a man at a restaraunt when they were resting what to do. The man said two words, and the two sons raced as fast as they could toward thier father's house.
What two words did the man say?

why switched horses/?
whoever gets there second wins
nothing to do with horses except theyre riding them
heres the real answer. the guy says "im alive"
its their dad so the boys get as fast as they can away from their, because they think the fathers a zombie
and the direction they just happened to be running in was their father's estate

No, if their horses are switched, that means they each have the other's horse. So if guy1 gets there first, his brother's horse will be first, and Guy1's will be 2nd (the one Guy2 is riding)

yes a rainbow
a guy is found dead in a locked room with a knife in his back
a bunch of furniture is scattered all around
theres a dent on the floor
and theres waterdroplets around the body
whos the murderer?
Offline
It was suicide. The guy freezes the knife standing up in the block of ice, sets the a/c on warm air, jumps backwards onto the knife, leaving the dent in the floor, and the ice melts.
