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.

THEY ARE BORN ON DIFFERENT DAYS

No, that one's been answered before. They're triplets.

And since nobody's got the second one I'll tell you.


Everyday, the shortest man in the world, checked he was still shorter than the second shortest. He did this by finding out the second shortest person's size, and making a stick that size. He would stand beside the stick to check. But one day, the second shortest man in the world crept into the room with the stick, and shortened the stick. That caused the sawdust. The man who measured himself thought he'd got taller so commit suicide.


Yeah, nobody could guess that.

Re: Riddles

There are 2 glasses. One has red juice in, the other blue juice. They have exactly the same amount of juice in. A man takes a teaspoon of the red juice, and put it into the blue juice. Then he waits for them to mix. He then takes a teaspoon of the blue juice and puts it in the red juice.


Which is more contaminated with the wrong juice?

They are both equally contaminated?

Re: Riddles

Nobody ever answered this.
A man plants 20 trees in 5 rows of 4 trees. There is one tree in the middle of the shape. The shape is also a parallelogram. What shape did he plant them in?

It's easy...
