heres another one:
"Three men went to a hotel and were told that there was only one room left and it would cost $30 for the night. They each paid $10 and went to the room. Later, the desk clerk realised he had made an error by overcharging the men $5. He asked the bell-hop to return the $5 to the men. This bell-hop was not as honest as the desk clerk and figured that since $5 was not easy to divide among 3 men, he would just return $3 to the men - $1 to each man. Therefore, each man paid $9, which totals $27 for the room. Add that to the $2 the bell-hop kept and the total is only $29. Where is the missing $1? Who has it?"
Isnt it in the till??
I'm rubbish at these i dont get any of the ones above!! I get really confused so my answer probably sounds really silly!!!

It is still there they all paid $10 each they got $3 back off the bell hop and he got to keep the other $2. = $30
They paid $9 each and had the discount of $3 the bell hops money is included in the $27.
Think that explains it.

Minus the $5 discount, the room cost $25. The Bell guy gave them back $2, making $27. Add the $3 he gave back to the men to get $30. The $1 appears to be missing because adding $27 and $2 equals $29

next riddle:
"Four members of a band are walking to a night concert. They decide to take a shortcut, but must cross a bridge. Luckily they have one flashlight. Because of the varying size of their instruments, it takes each member a different amount of time to cross the bridge - it takes the first person one minute, the second person two minutes, the third person five minutes and the fourth person ten minutes. They must cross the bridge in pairs, travelling at the slower speed so if the one minute person went with the ten minute person, it would take a total of ten minutes. Since there is only one flashlight, one person must come back across the bridge, then another pair can cross. They only have 17 minutes to cross the bridge and still get to the concert on time. What order should they cross to get everyone across and get to the concert?"

First, the one minute person and the two minute person must cross the bridge, for a total of two minutes. Then the one minute person should come back with flashlight - total of three minutes. The five minute person and the ten minute person cross together next, making the total thirteen minutes. Now the two minute person goes back and (total now fifteen minutes) and gets the one minute person and they cross together bringing the total to seventeen minutes.

yes but you can only go into the room once and you have to know which one is the right one
Once in the whole process? for example, if I turn on switch one, and leave the other two off, turn switch one of after 10 mins, then check the light bulb. if is hot then I have my switch, if not then i have to try the same with number 2 and so on...

right, i think I have it.. I drew diagrams but I can't post my pieces of paper.. here goes
Switch 2 on and one off, leave for 10 mins. before going into the room, turn one of on to off...
Results:1) If the light is on, it was the switch you left on
2) if it is off and the light bulb is hot, it was the one you just turned off
3) if it is off and cold, it was the lightbulb you had left off at the beginning..

basic encryption problem here, you send the box with your lock on it, your friend recieves the box and attaches her lock and sends it back to you. you remove your lock and send the box with just her lock on it. now she can open it without anyone coping or steal what is in there

another riddle:
"Where do you think you're going with that thing?" asked the bus driver to the young boy.
"Where do you think I'm going? On this bus, of course. Why, can't I?" replied the boy.
"No, of course you can't," said the bus driver in a very annoying way. "It is forbidden to bring any object of length, width, or height greater than one meter on any bus. That thing you're carrying is longer than one meter."
"Fair enough," sighed the young boy. "It's about one meter and twenty centimeters long. But I can pay a ticket for it too."
"It's got nothing to do with a ticket," screeched the driver. "You could buy a dozen tickets, and I still would not let you ride on this bus!"
Frustration grew rapidly within the young lad. "Listen! I need to take this baseball bat to a game I am playing in. I don't drive a car. The cabbies are on strike. And it's raining. What do you expect me to do!"
I don't know, and I don't care anyway. You ain't gonna come on this bus with that bat. End of story."
Quickly, the young boy dashed into a shop next to the bus stop and came out with a package containing the bat. Smugly, with all thirty-two teeth on display, he showed the package to the bus driver. "Now can I come on the bus?"
With a snort, the bus driver pulled out a folding rule and performed a precise measurement. Scowling, he waved in the smug young lad. How did the boy manage to pack a 1.2 meter baseball bat into a package less than one meter?"

how is that???
"It will take 11 seconds. The five seconds needed to signal six o'clock are the 5 silent intermissions between rings. At 12, the 12 rings are separated by 11 silent intermissions, thus 11 seconds for the clock to ring 12 times."
"It will take 11 seconds. The five seconds needed to signal six o'clock are the 5 silent intermissions between rings. At 12, the 12 rings are separated by 11 silent intermissions, thus 11 seconds for the clock to ring 12 times."

cheers.. and I am back doing drawings for the other riddle
thats ok, i dont understand most of them! haha you and your drawings, shouldnt you be working tut tut!
Horray.. got it.. the box is 1 meter by 1 meter. the bat is 1.2 meters. According to maths to get the diagonal of the box it is the sum of the sides squared then squared rooted
so 1 squared plus 1 squared is 2.. square root of two is 1.4 so the bat will fit on the diagonal...

easy... 18.. I like my maths problems and this is one.. all the second numbers are reverse of first numbers squared.. 4 squared is 16 but they put 61 so 9 squared is 81 so answer is 18
