Precisely...I actually love that one Vampyr, though when I pulled that on people I acted like it was a joke, than much later say that the second part is a completley new joke...It will sometimes work that way, it's fun.

Haha, I'm glad you like it.

I also like to do what you mentioned. I tell the first riddle, the brick one to a group of people, and I refuse to tell them the answer. I even go as far to say "sleep on it...you might have an idea when you wake up..."

Then several days or even a week later, I tell the next part. They want to kill me, but I love it.

On one of my scholarship retreats I told the first part of the joke to my favorite supervisor. He's a short guy who loves video games and is obsessed with star wars. He is also an English Major and has read all of my favorite books.

Then, I told the last part of the joke to another supervisor, a woman, and told her to wait until the retreat was over to tell him the second part of the joke.

He still remembered it the next time I saw him. haha

I have a bunch. To make it less fun, im putting the solutions at the bottom, so if you dont want to know, dont read them.



Q1. Mom, Dad, and 2 kids have come to a river, and they find a boat. It is small and can only carry one adult or 2 kids at a time. Both kids are good rowers, but how can the whole family reach the other side of the river?

Q2.Why can't you take a picture of a Indian woman with hair curlers?

Q3.What is the largest possible number you can write using only 2 digits - just 2 digits, nothing else?

Q4.Before Mt. Everest was discovered, what was the tallest mountain in the world?

Q5.Because cigars cannot be entirely smoked, a hobo who collects cigar butts can make a cigar to smoke out of every 5 butts that he finds. Today, he has collected 25 cigar butts. How many cigars will he be able to smoke?

Q6.Jenn is facetious. She is also abstemious. She gets pneumonia. Given those clues, what is the only American tree she will like?

Q7.How many birth days does the average man have?

Q8.Why are 1898 silver dollars worth more than 1897 silver dollars?

Q9.What English word can have 4 of its 5 letters removed and still retain it's original pronunciation?

Q10. If there are 5 apples on the counter and you take away 2, how many do you have?



------------------Solutions---------------------------

A1. The kids row across. One comes back. An adult goes over, and the kid comes back. Both kids row across again, and one comes back. The other adult rows across and the kid comes back. Both kids row across again.

A2.You can't take a picture with hair curlers you need a camera!

A3. 99 ( 9 to the 9th power), this is 9x9x9x9x9x9x9x9x9 or 387,420,489.

A4.Mount Everest has always been the tallest mountain, even before being discovered!
(Actually the tallest mountain is Mauna Kea in Hawaii, but that is only counting what is below the water as well.)

A5. 6, he makes 5 originals from the 25 butts he found, and after he smokes them he has 5 butts left for another cigar.

A6.The Sequoia. She only likes words with all 5 vowels in them. The Sequoia is the only American tree that contains all 5 vowels.

A7. One.

A8.$1,898.00 is one more silver dollar than $1,897.00

A9.Queue

A10. 2

What's the sum of every number from 1 to 100?


































It's 5050. 1+100 is 101, 99+2=101, so since you're using 50 pairs, 50 X 101 is 5050.

She got shot?

Because the "music" really isn't music. It's her life.
