These would have to be some of the most redilious riddles ever. Answers are structured so there could be 35 diffrent "correct" answers. With regards to the truck, no mention of oil/coolant loss was implied. I could have suggested "well the trucks load had caused the left rear wheel to shear off and fall off the bridge, lowering the load. Woohooo correct answer.

I believe it's all called "lateral thinking".... In other words to not look for the obvious (I read it somewhere)...

(do not mention safety factors etc, that is not the correct answer, although in reality that would solve it)

Ok. The truck is a tar truck that is resealing the road and is therefore becoming lighter as it goes. Hmm hang on that doesnt explain it cos then the bridge would still be holding the weight of the tar, bugger.

Got it - its an open roofed fish truck. Pelican starts eating away, thus making the truck lighter.

Otherwise I have no idea, and yes I know Im clutching at straws!

The trainer and the tiger go to the other side, and both get out.
The mother gets into the boat, leaving the daughter, tiger and trainer on the other side.
She goes back, then gets out, and the father gets in with the son.
He takes the son to the other side, leaves him there, then goes back for the mother.
The mother and father come back accross together, and everyone's made it.

Two boxers are in a boxing match (regular boxing, not kick boxing). The fight is scheduled for 12 rounds but ends after 6 rounds, after one boxer knocks out the other boxer. Yet no man throws a punch. How is this possible?

The boxer rips a fart and his intoxicating smell knocksout the other boxer?

Or did the boxer bite th eother boxer's ear off??

I have a good book downstairs that has some riddles, although there are no answers to them. Crap for a $100 book.

**Charliewool** · 31-08-2005, 08:01 AM

Two easy ones!

1/. When the day after tomorrow is yesterday, today will be as far from Wednesday as today was from Wednesday when the day before yesterday was tomorrow. What is the day after this day?

2/. Picture a litre of milk and a litre of Kahlua. A cup of Kahlua is poured into the milk and mixed thoroughly. Then, a cup of this mixture is poured back into the Kahlua. Is the amount of Kahlua now in the milk more, less, or the same as the amount of milk in the Kahlua?

Easy: It's a female boxing match.

Or it could have been the result of a head butt, or a dropkick or a missaligned zargon tractor ray.

These things to be any good should only have a single answer.

An angry man is loading a rifle at the top of a very high building. How many crappy riddle posts can he maime before the police arrive? He is wearing a green shirt and thongs.

How many rounds does he have and how long it take to reload?

My prayers are with this sniper. Gods speed my friend... Gods speed.

Apparently if the riddle maker is also a US President he could get off 3 extreamly accruate rounds within a few seconds and get them to U Turn and hit from the other side.

Clever gunman.

Here is a real brain teaser.

Why does the price of petrol go up in Australia when a Hurricaine that supposedly has destroyed US production (other side of planet) has still not crossed the coast?

1/ Thursday
2/ NO

Casper · 31-08-2005, 03:18 PM

Sorry, drank the Kahlua, can we try again? *hic*

A murderer is condemned to death. He has to choose between three rooms. The first is full of raging fires, the second is full of assassins with loaded guns, and the third is full of lions that haven't eaten in 3 years. Which room is safest for him?

Thursday is spot on.

As for the Kahlua....Surprisingly enough there would be the same amount in each. This old puzzle is often tackled using mathematical formulas, or the much easier and sudden 'Aha!' It would appear that the milk would contain more Kahlua than the Kahlua would contain milk because in the second pouring, the mixture is no longer pure. However, since there is once again a full litre of each liquid, whatever amount of Kahlua that was removed had to be replaced with the same amount of milk. The key to this puzzle is realizing that we are still left with two one-litre containers of liquid.

Well done WierdEL.

A woman shoots her husband. Then she holds him under water for over 5 minutes. Finally, she hangs him. But 5 minutes later they both go out together and enjoy a wonderful dinner together. How can this be?

She's a murderer and a cannibal.
