Hey! That's from Lenny Conundrum! Yes it is - the Lenny Conundrum I got a trophy for - but you're just cheating yourself out of satisfaction if you go to the Lenny Conundrum to get the answer. So was the robots riddle, although it appeared in the Lenny Conundrum something ilke "all but two grundos were purple, all but two grundos were green, and all but two grundos were yellow". |

I thought that I may as well contribute to the multitude of riddles that are here..^_^
So let's get started! Shall we?
How mad would a wood chuck get if a big neon pink Koala bear named Ishtar ran into the woods and chucked all the wood before the woodchuck could?
If you're flying down the highway, and your wings fall off your boat how many pancakes can you stack on top of a green doghouse?
The circumference of a circle is the distance around the edge of it, and the diameter is the distance through that same circle, how many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie roll toastie pop?
In space, can anyone hear your teddy bear scream?
If oranges smell like chicken, why are tomatoes blue?
If a chicken and a half can lay an egg and a half in a minute and a half, how long would it take a monkey with a wooden leg to kick all the seeds out of a dill pickle?

I don't lick, I suck on them 4) Only teddy bears from Venus or Neptune - and solar dust bunnies too. 5) Because the tomatoes are sad they don't smell like oranges either. 6) As long as it takes for someone to count the stars in the sky. |

How do they get the caramel into the Caramilk bars?
(I know the answer to this one, I used pure logic)

Ok, for mine, a lot of people posted different answers for, so I'll just post the answers and the unsolved ones again:
1. A man shot his wife, and she died. She was not threatening him or anyone else. The man gave himself up to the police, and they released him. Why?
Clues: The man had a longstanding motive to kill her; The man was clearly guilty, but had to be released under the law; The man was punished for his crime.(no correct answer yet)
2. Why did Bill thank Ted for eggs that Bill had never received and Ted had never given?
Clues: They were neighbors; Ted was lazy.(no correct answer yet)
3. A child was born in Boston, Massachusetts, to parents who were both born in Boston, Mass. The child was not a U.S. citizen. How is this possible? Someone got it right--the child was born before 1776, and the U.S. hadn't been established yet.
4. In what year did Christmas and New Year's fall on the same year?Every year! The wording confuses you--New Year's is first, then Christmas comes 12 months later.
5. After the new canon law took effect on November 27, 1983, would a Roman Catholic man have been able to marry his widow's sister? The guy is dead, and a dead person can't marry someone.

You sound JUST like my brother. That one about the oranges and tomatos. . . well, I think brother might have actually said that once, but he said that the tomatoes were orange instead of blue. . . |

11) You walk into a room and you see Sally and Danny dead on the floor. There is no way that anyone could have broken into the room. You look for blood, but see none. All you see are a table and chairs, a few bits of broken glass, and a small puddle of water. Who are Sally and Danny and how did they die? Some people admit they've heard this riddle before, but otherwise nobody else has even tried to answer it. The New Year drunks are right outside my home, screaming their heads off. What a happy way to start a happy new year. |

What a happy way to start a happy new year. Sally and Danny were fish. Their bowl was knocked over. It's 3:30 PM here, New Year's Day. It was a quiet night. |

I just don't live near the path between the soldiers and the clubs downtown... |

E1(classification: logic): In front of you there are three light switches. They go to three seperate light bulbs in a room that is not visible from where you are. Your challenge is to determine which light switch goes to which light bulb without looking at the room with the lights more than once. How will you do it? Oh, I remember this one! You flick on one of the switches, turn it off, then turn another switch on. Then walk over and hold your hand next to the bulbs. You already see one that's on; another bulb should be still hot from being turned on and off, meaning that it was the first to be turned on.
E2 (classification: checking your assumptions): There is a normal, empty, straight two-way pipe lying on the ground. One perfectly healthy cat peeks into one end, and another perfectly heathy cat peeks into the other. Although there is plenty of light and nothing is obstructing their veiw, they do NOT see eachother. Why? Umm, are the cats looking at something else? A mouse on the floor, perhaps? No wait! Just because they're perfectly healthy doesn't mean they can't be blind - I think they're both blind. *Nods*
E3 (classification: checking assumptions): A man sits on an island in the middle of a large, deep lake. The island is completely empty of materials and there is no boat or bridge. The man can not swim and, because the island is empty, cannot make anything to help get him accross. Eventually, he makes it safely to shore without any help, alive, and under his own power. How does he do it? The man rides on the back of a turtle, of course! Or a log that washed up on the shore... or something.
E4 (classification: abstract thinking (HARD)): A DJ walks to his car with a satisfied smile on his face. He gets in and begins his drive back to work. He turns on the radio to some music. Suddenly, he stops the car, pulls over, and kills himself. Why? Hmmm... I know driving back to work has something to do with it. Was he a hitman who decided to kill himself to finish a job or frame someone?  |

Ohhh, I know all these. Ah well, here goes anyway.
- A cowboy rides into a town on Friday. Exactly three days later he leaves the town on Saturday. How is this possible? He is riding two horses, one named Friday and one named Saturday.
- There is an all-green one-story house. The plates are green, the carpets are green, the mirrors are green. What color is the upstairs bathroom? No color - the house is only one story, so there is no upstairs.
- Before Mount Everest was discovered, what was the tallest mountain in the world? Mt. Everest.

...Oh. Those have already been answered. *Glow of feeling smart fades* Ah well. I did answer them a few pages ago, and haven't been on this forum for about a week anyways. Hrmph.
*Eyes pop out of head and roll across the floor* Ai, I didn't know there were this many pages of riddles!
