19. Hardest to Carry
This is as light as a feather, yet no man can hold it for long. What is it?

20. They have not flesh, nor feathers, nor scales, nor bone. Yet they have fingers and thumbs of their own. What are they?

Well it is, Rhytham.

I see you are very good in riddles.

I said you where right

Can u pls answer the next one??

18. 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."

The boy looked around and saw no scale so he agrees, thinking no matter what the carny writes he'll just say he weighs more or less.

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

rhytham:
Alexo is 3 not the answer

No it's not. Give it another try

Yeah you are now right.

Anyone still cracking the riddle

Dont make me laugh rhytham,

You are right rhytham,
First you select a fruit from the box marked peaches and oranges. If it was a orange you selected, you know that the box could only contain oranges. If it was a peach, you know that the box could only contain peaches since each box in incorrectly marked. If, for example an orange was selected, you would mark that box oranges and switch the other two incorrect labels around. Now all three would be correctly labeled.


Another:

17. My age today is three times what it will be three years from now minus three times what my age was three years ago. How old am I?

Alright Dojo

16. There are three boxes containing fruit. The first box is marked peaches, the second is marked oranges, and the third box is marked peaches and oranges. Each of the boxes is labeled incorrectly. How could you label each box correctly if you were allowed to select only one fruit from one of the boxes?

No probs Dojo . Back to your riddle

When u subtract 5 from 30, you are left with 25, and because 25 cannot go through the three of them equally, it will have to be in the ratio 8:8:9 (i.e. 8+8+9=25)
The equation will be :
(8+1) + (8+1) + (9+1) + (5-3) = 30.

Are you satisfied with that Before I post the next riddle

Sorry Dojo, It was after I posted my riddle that I saw yours. It came in while i was trying to reply the others.

@ rhytham, you got it right man.

For your riddle dojo, There is no missing Dollar, I'll explain that, just let me look for the right words for it. After that I'll post another riddle.

yeah right. you got it right naija_diva

15. How do you get 100 by using the numbers 0-9 once?
Example: 1+2+3+4+5+6+7(8x9)= 100

Can you find another way to get it?

Funny naija_diva, but one is not supposed to taki light into the house. rhytham got it right.

14. Using the numbers 1-9 (you can only use each number ONE time) can you make 3 rows of 3 so that the sum total of all 3 digits in any direction (vertical and horizontal) is 15?

@ Dojo, how else do u want me to explain, i thut that was explanatory enough. Ok let me try again.

Let tag the twins A and B. Unknowing to you, A happens to be the BAd guy, while B is the good one.

Dojo: Which way would your brother tell me?
A: He would tell you Right.

Dojo: Which way would your brother tell me?
B: He would tell you right.

With these, you should know that the second guy is the right one, for him to have known exactly what the other guy would say.
Is this explanatory to you.

Try the other one.

Good,

Now lets say you ask the bad guy, he''ll say Right, because his brother will say left. and when you ask his brother(the good guy) he'll say right, because his brother would lie to you that the right way is right.

Definitely, you'll know that the first guys is the bad guy. And that the right way to go is Left.

Try this:

14. You are in a house. There are 3 light switches. Inside of a closed room (that you CAN NOT see) there is a light bulb that is turned on by one of the switches. If you can only go inside the room only one time how can you tell which switch turns on the light?

Aiight, Here is what you'll ask:

Which way would your brother say?

Example: If the good path is left, and you ask the liar this question, he'll say Right, because his brother will say left and he himself lies. The truthful fellow will say right, because he tells the truth, and the other one lies.

@ michy, sorry dear , but i would have loved either Dojo or rhytham to give it a shot.

But if they don't do that in 5 minutes. I'll give out the answer.

Hey, you guys are getting me wrong.

I said you can ask each of them just one question. The same question you ask the first twin, is still the same question you'll ask the other twin.

I think I've made it clearer now. So what will you ask

But you don't know who is who rhytham, you can get into the wrong hand.

Look, If a man steals a sweet and another commits adultery, When Judgment come, they will all face the same consiquencies.

How would you know he is the false telling twin

You are right rhytham , He told them to switch horses. So if one son gets there first, he will be on his brother's horse and his horse will be last and he will get the fortune.

13. You walk up to a mountain that has two paths. One leads to the other side of the mountain, and the other will get you lost forever. On the road you meet two twins that knows the path that leads to the other side. You can ask them only one question each. One of the twins only tells lies and the other only tells the truth, and you don't know which is which.

So, What do you Ask eash of them?

Good one there rhytham, The letter "E"! Beginning of Eternity end of timE and spacE, etc.

I guess my riddles have been very cheap, Let me see if you guys can unscrambble this:

12. A rich man has two sons, and this two sons has a horse each. When he died, the sons read his will.The will says:
^{The sons must race their horses to a distant city and the LAST one's horse to get there gets the fortune.}
So the sons started racing as slow as possible to get the fortune. At nightfall they stop at an inn. They tell their problem to the innkeeper and in the morning the sons are racing as fast as they can to the city. What do u think the innkeeper told them?

Hey guys, sorry i didn't get to complete question 10, so i will have to take it again:

10. I am the begining of eternity and the end of time and space. I am the begining of every end and the end of every place. What am i?


As for question 11, Damsal got it right, the answer is teacher.

Hey, I don't like people guessing. I think I'll give the answer to nana alone.
The answer is nothing

10. I am the begining of eternity and the end of time and

But at least you could have spied mochafella answer, he got it right. But all the same, you really tried, i know its not that easy. Thanks for the post anyway.

This better explains explains the answer:
Each letter is the first letter of the number before it spelled out. So the answer is S.
