Carnival Trick
A boy was at a carnival and went to a booth where a man said to the boy, “If I write your exact weight on this piece of paper then you have to give me $50, but if I cannot, I will pay you $50.”

In the end the boy ended up paying the man $50. How did the man win the bet?

The man did exactly as he said he would and wrote “your exact weight” on the paper.

  3. A man leaves town on Friday stays out of town 3 days an somehow returns on Friday. How is this possible?

    Friday is the name of his horse

  4. E. Nigma. Your riddle is has a bit of a problem…the problem is: You shouldn’t say he left town on friday then returns on friday. It should be he left town on friday and somehow returns by friday.
    Then it makes more sense and becomes alot more complicated.

  6. Four men sat down to play.
    They played all night till break of day.
    They played for gold and not for fun.
    With separate scores for everyone.

    Why didn’t he just press the 34th button?

    He’s too short to reach the 34 button

    2# A girl is stuck in a metal room with no windows or any way of getting out except a door that is locked.
    In that room is a table, piano, saw and bat.
    Since the girl was very smart she found out a way to use each of these items to get herself out and also one way of getting out with just using herself.
    There are four ways. What are they?

    a)She can swing the bat three times and then she’s “out”.
    b)She can use a piano “key”.
    c)She can saw the table in half to make two halves and then put them together and she’ll have a “whole” (hole).

    They checked but it was gone. They asked the cook if he had seen it and said yes and that he had put it underneath a vase as for safe keeping. They checked but it was gone. They asked the butler if he had seen it and he said yes and that he had put it in a book between the pages 5 & 6 for safe keeping.
    It was gone. They asked tha gardener and he said he hadn’t seen it at all. Who stole the money?

    To help you find out you have a scale. However. You can only use this scale one time and one time only.

    helping question if you don’t know this: What happens if you weigh all of the bags at the same time?

  19. Shadow was vacationing on the Isle of Begile. On this island the natives always lie and the visitors always tell the truth. While walking along the beach, Shadow was approached by two ladies who introduced themselves as Josie and Cricket. Cricket said to Shadow, “I am a native, but Josie is a visitor.” Are the two ladies both natives, both visitors, or one of each?

  20. They must be one of each, as if one of them says she is a native then she is a visitor and Josie is a native and if she is a visitor she is telling the truth – either way – they are one of each

  21. To riddle number one…how could it walk away, he went into the field to *eat* something, why would he wait three days? it should be in his stomach not walking!

  22. #29: If Cricket were a native, she would have said, “I am a visitor”. That would have been a lie! If the same question had been asked to Josie, SHE would have said, “I am a visitor”. This problem has no solution.

  23. Heres a good one (I hope):It is greater than God and more evil than the devil. The poor have it, the rich need it and if you eat it you’ll die. What is it?

  24. The answer to my riddle is Nothing. Nothing is bigger the God, Nothing is more evil the the devil, The poor have nothing, The rich need nothing, and if you eat NOTHING you’ll die. Duh

  25. @ #29 they are both natives. It says that natives ALWAYS lie, but it doesn’t say they dont say some true things. cricket is telling the truth when saying she is a native, but telling a lie when saying that josie is a visitor which makes her entire statement a lie, even though a part of it is true

  26. my walls are made of marbel stone. in thr middle of me i have gold. i hove no entrances or exits, yet people still enter me and steal my gold. what am i

    an egg

  27. Ok some of these are not riddles. Some are just dumb jokes and some have more than one answer. There are also the idiots like #36 who cannot think more than your average potato.
