wasnt difficult? lol... it took me an hour to recognize the word ,,Courier'' lol.
And a half hour i just spend thinking who of tho 4 was lieing and thought... Something is missing
Even thought about two robber or that the original was replaced and the fake was replaced as well and these things lol...
Bud sometimes u make me feel dumb saying all those riddles are so easy

Lol, sorry mate ... I must admit those ones were more 'not as difficult as they seem' rather than easy (bit like when people say original cents and maximums are 'easy') and of course they would seem easy to me as I made them up lol. (all questions are easy if you know the answer or course )

I would say that you did particularly well considering the language difficulties - I did try translating it to German and back again (as a check) and got nonsense so I know what you were up against lol.

thanks

you cant believe how happy I am after solving that riddle but one question...just been looking on ur hints
What does an elephant have in common with a aligator lol?

Haha, I was wondering if anyone was going to ask me that ....

It was a cryptic clue to the last two riddles of a series of four classic riddles that trev posted about 5 days ago, earlier in this thread. In these riddles, the solutions revolved around the fact that the elephant and the alligator (that had been mentioned in the previous one) were missing.

Here is one that is probably more suited to the oldies amongst us but it will keep things going until I can think of a better one...

A girl has stolen two bars of solid gold, each weighing 20 pounds, and is running from some police. On the path she is on, she comes up to a long rope bridge with a sign saying that the rope bridge can hold a maximum weight of 130 pounds, and that if any more weight is placed on the bridge it will collapse.

The girl knows her weight is 100 pounds. She is very tired and has barely enough energy to cross the bridge let alone trek through the forest to find an alternative crossing. She walks across the bridge carrying both gold bars, and the bridge does not break. How is this possible?

I'm thinking that she might be juggling them across the bridge, so she is only holding one at any time, therefore she can cross the bridge? Just a thought I had suddenly, doubt it's right.

^^ sounds good to me!

It is a very good thought and one that is traditionally the answer to this sort of problem.

However, the young girl is very tired (barely enough energy to cross the bridge) and the bridge is a long one, so juggling two 20 pound gold bars is not really practical (irrespective of whether she can juggle and/or the rope bridge is stable enough).

Add to that the fact that it clearly states that she is carrying both gold bars, I'm afraid your answer is wrong.

Purely for the sake of putting destiny out of his misery

40 pounds of gold = 30 pounds imperial. Gold is weighed at 12 ounces to a pound, the Imperial system by which the bridge would be weighed is done at 16 ounces to a pound.

This means that the girl, 100 pounds and the gold, 30 pounds, can cross the bridge together.

Correct

A man was just going about his job when his suit was torn. He died three minutes later. Why?

You died and came in the purgatory. The purgatory is a room with
2 doors. Behind 1 is the heaven, behind the other the hell.
You've got no idea behind which door the heaven is and there is no chance to go back after you have opened a door. To get a chance in coming into the heaven god sends 2 guards. 1 in front of each door.
One of the guards is always telling the truth and the other one always lies. You've now got the opportunity to go to one guard and ask him one question. What do you ask him?

there is more than one solution tho

if you were the other guard, which door would you tell me heaven is behind? then go through the other one.

correct

woop.

here's one.

A man is heading towards the centre of a circular field. He knows as soon as he gets there he will die, but he can't do anything about it. The field is perfectly circular and is perfectly normal, and there is nothing in it that wouldnt be in any given field, ie no mines, snakes, man-eating turtles, killer dolphins etc.

How does he know that he is going to die???

If you know this one please spoiler your answer for the sake of anyone who wants to work it out

And another ...

What is special about the following number:

8549176320?

apart from the fact all its digits are unique?

Lol, yes besides the fact that they are the digits 0-9
