I know one, it is an easy one.

A boy and his father are driving. They get into a horrible car crash and the boy gets heavily injured. He is brought to the hospital. After arriving, the doctor says: "I cannot preform surgery on my own son".

How is this possible?

The doctor is his mother.

What starts with 'e', ends with 'e', and only has one letter in it?

EYE!!!

______________________________________________________________

14 = 8 = 5 = 4

38 = 11 = 6 = 3 = 5 = 4

Keep in mind:

6 = 3 = 5 = 4

2 = 3 = 5 = 4

1 = 3 = 5 = 4

But, 6, 2, and 1 are NOT equal.

I basically solved it for you.

What is the pattern to solve this?

Wow. Been thinking about this for awhile, Cant get it! :-(

Shredder I still don't understand the answer to the first riddle you answered, about the true and false statements.

Alright, I will start a new one since no one continued.

A man is walking to the village of prosperity when he comes to a fork in the road. In between the two roads, there are two men. One of them is a liar and one is honest. Each of the two men knows which road leaves to the village of prosperity. The man is allowed to ask either one of them two questions, or each one one question. How does he find out which road is the correct road?

^^ two ways to solve that I know of

First the ask one two questions
choose one and ask: Is two plus two four?
then ask which road is the road to the village of prosperity?
If he answered true to the first question then he is the truthteller, if not he is the lier, the truthteller will tell you the right path and the lier will tell you the wrong path so you should take the other one

Second one asking a question to both:
Pick a road and ask, “Will the other guy tell me that this is the right road to take to get to town?” If it’s the right road and you ask the truth teller, he’ll know that the liar will say no, and thus say no. If you ask the liar, he’ll know that the truth teller would says yes, so he’ll lie and say no. If the road was the wrong road to take, the truth teller will know that the liar would says yes, and thus say yes. If you ask the liar, he’ll know that the truth teller would say no, so he’ll lie and say yes.


What am I?
Answer: The answer is nothing.
It's more powerful than God.
It's more evil than the devil.
The poor have it.
The rich need it.
If you eat it, you'll die.
What am I?

What is the pattern to solve this?

In every number, the number of the letters will eventually equal 4.

14(fourteen)=8(eight)=5(five)=4

6(six)=3(three)=5(five)=4

Just continue with his:

What am I?
Answer: The answer is nothing.
It's more powerful than God.
It's more evil than the devil.
The poor have it.

why did you ruin it?



I never was, am always to be,
No one ever saw me, nor ever will,
And yet I am the confidence of all
To live and breathe on this terrestrial ball.
What am I?

I tried to answer each one to come up with a good answer..

I never was, am always to be, Maybe Time?
No one ever saw me, nor ever will, Maybe time again?
And yet I am the confidence of all, Not sure,
To live and breathe on this terrestrial ball. Time does not breathe. :-(

Well since its my best guess, I will guess... Time!

I'd have to guess "tomorrow" -- tomorrow is never in the past, will always be in the future, and yet people live and breathe to make it to the next day. Am I correct?

If so:
I can run but not walk. Wherever I go, thought follows close behind. What am I?

Your mind?

There's 3 men in a resturaunt, the bill comes to £30. All 3 men put £10 together to make the £30. The waiter comes and tells them that theres been a mistake and the total price is £25 not £30. The waiter gives all 3 men £1 back and keeps £2 herself.

All 3 men pay £9 £9 x 3 = £27
The waiter keeps £2 £27 + £2 = £29

Where did the other £1 go?

Where did the other £1 go?

Some one didn't pay

You did not answer the other riddle, so you can not post. And its a math error, if you solve it in a different way it makes sense...

The doctor is his mother.

Brad stared through the dirty soot-smeared window on the 22nd floor of the office tower. Overcome with depression he slid the window open and jumped through it. It was a sheer drop outside the building to the ground. Miraculously after he landed he was completely unhurt. Since there was nothing to cushion his fall or slow his descent, how could he have survived the fall?

 

[nicktheh]

what is green and has wheels xD?

 

[nicktheh]

OH! and to gallyboy, brad was a window cleaner ;D
heard that one before.

Ignore nicks, and Gall. Theres a couple of answers. Maybe the place was burnt down and the 22nd floor was on the ground, or he was a window cleaner.

My riddle..

Think of words ending in -GRY. Angry and hungry are two of them. There are only three words in the English language. What is the third word? The word is something that everyone uses every day. If you have listened carefully, I have already told you what it is.


Good luck-ignore nicks, because its not a riddle. Millions of things fit the description.

 

[LoganHirst]

ok the one about what follows close behind is not mind.. its shadow.. now the money one-- There is no missing dollar. $30 is the original price of the room... thirty minus 3 (each man gets one dollar back) plus the two that she kept is equal to $25... And jack is a window washer and opened the window and climbed back into the building---BTW language is the third word

If you drop a yellow hat in the Red Sea, what does it become? <---no answer this time, and last time i got pmed the answer so i solved it myself lol

 

[Benwise]

Wet... now answer mine..
