The *Official* Riddles Thread

[Ænema]

Instead of making seperate threads for each riddle, just post all of your creations here. Here's some to begin...

1. A man walks into a bar and asks for a glass of water. Instead the bartender jumps out at him with a shotgun. The man says thank you and leaves. What happened?

2. A man pushes his car in front of a building and loses all of his money. Why?

3. A horse jumps over a building and the building disappears. What happened?

These might be familiar to some, but those who have not, just try to find out.

Roosevelt is not a man

[MooCowzRock]

grover cleavlend had 2 terms in office (not at same time though)
exactly. He held one term, wasnt re-elected, then ran after the next guy and was re-elected, making him president at two separate times. He is the only president to have done this.

Jesus christ I give up. I would post some hard one's but there's no answers to them.

Edit: Three men are shipwrecked and find themselves on an insland inhabited by a tribe of canibals instead of eating them they choose to play a game with them, they bury the three men neck deep in 1 vertical line facing the ocean, so the 1st guy can only see the ocean, the 2nd guy can only see the 1st, and he 3rd can see both. The canibals put beenies on thier heads and says if they can guess the color of thier beenies they'll let him go, there are two colors red and blue, they can be in any order except all one color, they are not allowed to speak to eachother, 20min. later the 2nd person KNOWS what color his beenie is and gets freed. how? (remember there not allowed to talk, nor can they turn thier head, buried neck deep in sand, in a single file column facing the ocean, they cannot all be wearing the same color beenie, 20min. after they get buried the 2nd man KNOWS his color)

Good luck. :)

GOT IT!

Alright, so they cant all be the same color, right? So, if the last guy that can see both cant guess his color instantly, that means the two first guys have different colors, because if they both had the same color, he must have a different color. So, since the last guy cant figure it out, the second guy knows that him and the first guy have different colors, so he looks at the first guy's color and says the opposite color.

Booya.

cause the third guy would have said his hat was blue if the first and second guys hats were red so he would get freed....but since they cant talk the second guy knows the first guys hat is red and his isnt because the third guy didnt say anything so the 2nd guy knows his hat is blue? jesus that one took alot of thinking
crap...you beat me to it...I should have written less...lol

What led me away was that I kept my mind on the idea of a "tide" possibly doing something. I stayed on that idea too long before I gave it up since it was impossible...

We both are awesome for figuring that one out, that was a good one...
