Riddles
I made another topic about riddles but couldn't remember it's titles so couldn't find it to reopen it.
Anyway, do you people know any? I found a few today, such as:
Two children are born within the same hour, from the same mother. They are not twins. How is this?
And also, a very strange one, which is pretty much impossible to work out.
Inside a room is the shortest man in the world. He is hanging from a rope. Inside the room are a few objects: A chair, a stick, and some wood shavings. Outside the room is another very short man, laughing.
Explain the situations.

Nice one, but I also knew the answer.
Here's one everybody who hasn't been living under a rock in a desert has heard:
A man rides into a town on Friday. Two days later, he rides out on Friday.
How does this make sense?

Explain the situations.I don't really understand this one.
Well if you wanted honesty, that's all you had to say. I never want to let you down or have you go, it's better off this way.

Wrong! That could have been the answer I suppose, but not the one I was thinking of.
@Kimmy/Meew: Yeah.

Nothing to do with that. It's the same hour of the same day of the same week, month, year, etc.

Well, then the only other thing is that there's another kid, making it a triplet.

Re: Riddles
Darn, Alt. You got it right. They weren't twins, they were triplets. Anyone know any other good riddles? And should I give a clue about my second riddle?

Re: Riddles
I think you got it shi, I'm not quite sure what you mean. Do you mean that they were only 2 of 3 kids? (triplets) If so you're right.
