Post all your riddles that you know here and see if other people can get the, right.
Here's my riddle:
An archeologist has found something, it has a head and a tail, but its not scary, what is it?
-
I'm stuck between two answers...
* A supermodel
* A coin
:P
What can go up a chimney down, but not down a chimney up?
-
Dam you knew that didn't you? Yes, it is a coin.
Want's the answer you yours? Santa? Wait, yours is confusing.
-
An umbrella...
What has 4 wheels and flies?
-
No idea about pseudoswede's, but here are 2 of mine:
Man who made it sold it,
Man who bought it didnt want it,
Man who got it didnt know he had it,
What am I?
AND
The poor have it,
The rich want it,
Eat it and die.
What am I?
-
Need more time to think about the first one, but the solution to the second one might be "nothing"
-
Man who made it sold it,
Man who bought it didnt want it,
Man who got it didnt know he had it,
What am I?
It's a coffin.
-
Both correct :D
-
Here's one
Four men were in a boat on the lake. The boat turns over, and all four men sink to the bottom of the lake, yet not a single man got wet! Why?
-
Here's one

You are correct!
Here's another one:
There are 20 people in an empty, square room. Each person has full sight of the entire room and everyone in it. If you are not allowed to move in any way (other than your eyes). Where can you place an apple so that all but one person can see it?
-
On that person's head?
-
You could make him stand on it :P
-
And another one:
With no wings I fly.
With no eyes I see.
With no arms I climb.
More frightening than any beast.
Stronger than any foe.
Cunning, ruthless, tall.
In the end I rule all.
What am I?

Ambition was good, you are on the right track. The gf thing was a nice idea though...
I'll give it another hour, after which I will post the solution.
-
Okay, time's up. The solution is: The imagination.
Next one:
I pass before the sun, yet make no shadow.
What am I?
-
space
-
Moon
-
Heres on:
In a room there is an X number of people. Each person in the room shakes everyone else's hand once. A total of 28 handshakes take place. How many people are in the room?
-
Space passes? Uhm...
And the moon does make a shadow when passing in front of the sun, think of an eclipse...
-

7, as it's x=n(n+1)/2 where x is the number of handshakes and n is the number of people. 28=(7x7)/2 + 7/2= 24.5 + 3.5
-
Too confusing...
Heres one:
Two coins add up to 30 cents. One of them isn't a nickle. What are the two coins.

and I will make you cry.
I make guys have to pee
and girls comb their hair.
I make celebrities look stupid
and normal people look like celebrities.
I turn pancakes brown
and make your champane bubble.
If you squeeze me, I'll pop.

edit again: might also be time

ALBERT EINSTEIN'S RIDDLE
ARE YOU IN THE TOP 2% OF INTELLIGENT PEOPLE IN THE WORLD? SOLVE THE RIDDLE AND FIND OUT.
There are no tricks, just pure logic, so good luck and don't give up.
1. In a street there are five houses, painted five different colours.
2. In each house lives a person of different nationality
3. These five homeowners each drink a different kind of beverage, smoke different brand of cigar and keep a different pet.
THE QUESTION: WHO OWNS THE FISH?
HINTS
1. The Brit lives in a red house.
2. The Swede keeps dogs as pets.
3. The Dane drinks tea.
4. The Green house is next to, and on the left of the White house.
5. The owner of the Green house drinks coffee.
6. The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds.

12. The man who smokes Blue Master drinks beer.
13. The German smokes Prince.
14. The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
15. The man who smokes Blends has a neighbour who drinks water.
ALBERT EINSTEIN WROTE THIS RIDDLE EARLY DURING THE 19th CENTURY. HE SAID THAT 98% OF THE WORLD POPULATION WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO SOLVE IT.
Oh and by the way, I solved it after about 10mins of thinking, no cheating by asking Google, because it knows everything.
-
This has been a fun exercise our math teacher gave us once (long ago *sigh*). Either we were a very intelligent class or Einstein is wrong about the 2%, as about one quarter of us had the right solution after 45 minutes.
It's basically a simple table that is the route to success...
-
Yeah its easy, you just work your way with the clues.
-
It is late for me right now, I will come back in the morning with the answer.
-
I think this forum is kind of dying...
