for god's sake, I am just kidding elf! you need to sit down with me and drink some darkbrew like the old days. me thinks ye are too stressed by these brain sucking riddles

Oh these are fun aren't they. Here's a good one, not all that hard really just a bit of maths.

U2 need to get across a foot bridge to a concert. They havce 17 minutes to get there but it is dark and they must walk with a torch as they are all afraid of the dark. They can walk by themselves over the bridge or in twos. They must always walk with the torch and can never throw the torch - it must be carried everywhere. They walk at these speeds:

Bono - 1 minute,
Edge - 2 minutes,
Larry - 5 minutes,
Adam - 10 minutes.

They have to walk at the speed of the slower. Which combinatin do they use to get over.

SPOILER for the riddle of the wizard in the tower

The wizard cuts the chair in half. He then has two halves, which make a whole. He can then exit through the (w)hole. Well, it is lateral. Its not supposed to actually make sense.

Anthony and Cleopatra are lying dead on the floor.
Near them is a table, which has been skewed slightly, a bowl lies smashed on the floor, and there is a puddle of water on the floor.
They did not drown and they did not kill each other.
How did they die?<hr></blockquote>

one of them bent over to tie his shoes, then stood up, head hit the table, died. the bowl fell, and broke. water came out

the other guy... well... died of fell over laughing

What? You were kidding? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Well, I won't reject the offer of a good mug o' darkbrew [img]smile.gif[/img]
Where's yer bar?


Oh, right, the other riddle. If they didn't kill eachother, maybe they killed themsleves. Or there was a third person. Or I'm thinking I don't have all the information I need to exclude certain deaths...

First, Bono and Edge.
Then, one goes back (say, Bono)
Larry and Adam cross
Edge goes back
Bono and Edge cross

Bono - 1 minute,
Edge - 2 minutes,
Larry - 5 minutes,
Adam - 10 minutes.

Bono and Edge go first, Bono come back: 3 mins
Larry and Adam next, Edge come back: 15 mins
Edge and Bono go last: 17 mins

Just a small warning from a poster to this thread yesterday:

I had a terrible nightmare,a headache like never before the next day and i'm still kicking myself for not getting the answer to Legolas' riddle.Just think about that before you join this thread here..... [img]smile.gif[/img]

Nice one Legolas! Apparently people looking for a job with Microsoft are asked that question and given 5 minutes. It took me 15 so I will be avoiding them for a while. Try this one then:

A man walks into a bar but he is not thirsty.
He orders a drink of water, which he really needs.
The barman takes out a shotgun and points it at him.
The man thanks the barman and leaves.

Why did this happen?
