Lap dance may have to be over webcam




1st riddle: Three friends check into a motel for the night and the clerk tells them the bill is $30, payable in advance. So, they each pay the clerk $10 and go to their room. A few minutes later, the clerk realises he has made an error and overcharged the trio by $5. He asks the bellhop to return $5 to the 3 friends who had just checked in. The bellhop sees this as an opportunity to make $2 as he reasons that the three friends would have a tough time dividing $5 evenly among them. So he decides to tell them that the clerk made a mistake of only $3, giving a dollar back to each of the friends. He pockets the leftover $2 and goes home for the day! Now, each of the three friends gets a dollar back, thus they each paid $9 for the room which is a total of $27 for the night. We know the bellhop pocketed $2 and adding that to the $27, you get $29, not $30 which was originally spent. Where did the other dollar go?


Riddle 2: 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.


Riddle 3: You throw away my outside, cook my inside, then you eat my outside and then throw away my inside.
What are you eating?


Riddle 4: Romeo and Juliet are found dead on the floor in a bedroom. When they were discovered, there were pieces of glass and some water on the floor. The only furniture in the room is a shelf and a bed. The house in is a remote location, away from everything except for the nearby railway track. What caused the death of Romeo and Juliet?


Riddle 5: There are 20 people in an empty, square room. Each person has full sight of the entire room and everyone in it without turning his head or body, or moving in any way (other than the eyes). Where can you place an apple so that all but one person can see it?


PLEASE DO NOT POST ANSWERS!!!
If you wish to post them, make them so people cant read them against their will by making the answer a small size. That way if they wish to know they can, if they dont want to know, they dont have to.

[Copy into notepad or address bar to read them ]


Riddle 1:
$25 to hotel; 3 to friends, 2 to the bellhop = $30. The trick here is to think of the room costing $25 and not $30.

Riddle 2:
"Language" is the 3rd word in "the English Language".

Riddle 3:
Corn on the cob.

Riddle 4:
Romeo and Juliet are fish in a tank and the vibrations of a passing train caused their tank to fall off the shelf shattering it which suffocated them.

Riddle 5:
2 possible answers. The supposedly correct "ontop of the persons head". Or the more subtle "The room is empty".

Caboose, If i didnt know better i would say you googled them

[SgtCaboose]

Then little must you know

[Z00111111]

Caboose, im going to assume you've heard pretty much all of them before.
although your subtle answr to 5 is full of fail..

[SgtCaboose]

yes I haveh eard them all before. And the 5th/2nd answer isnt fail, if you read what it says the riddle directly contradicts itself.

[Z00111111]

it only contradicts itself in a fully literal sense. surely anyone with any sense would understand 'empty' to mean lacking furniture and the like. and it says 'all but one' person, further emphasising that 'empty' does not mean void of everything.

[TH3RM0]

Z00 I'm confused again  :Crazy: It would probably make more sense if I read the above posts & had gotten some sleep last night but anyway.......*lays head down on keyboard and sleeps*

[SgtCaboose]

Here the definition of empty:

Holding or containing nothing.
Having no occupants or inhabitants; vacant: an empty chair; empty desert.

I rest my case.

[Z00111111]

in the context given though, it means containing nothing but 20 people and an apple.
i know you're just being a smartarse and that you are smart enough to know that it isnt meant to be take literally.. but its annoying.

[SgtCaboose]

Its a possibilty that the riddle wanted this much reading into, but notice i left it as the second possibility because its a long shot. The 1st answer is the correct and the 2nd is well...correct in a very very literal sense.

[Z00111111]

yes, but 'all but one' is saying there is atleast 1 person in the room, so it cant be empty.

[SgtCaboose]

which means it directly contradicts itself, as i said
