So while my friends and I were playing cards when I Started asking riddles, only two people there were able to solve most of them. So i wonder how you guys will fare. lets find out. ill start with an easy one. A man and his wife are dead. If the man had had just one quarter, his wife would have lived. if he had two quarters, he would have lived. if he had had three quarters both the man and his wife would of lived, but his brother would have died. Why? hints 1) The man had discovered that his brother intended to kill him and his wife. Answer:Spoiler: He was attempting to phone for help in a phone booth. His brother was with his wife. With one quarter he could call his wife to save her from the immediate danger, with two quarters he could call for a ride to save himself, with three he could call the police. 2) Two people wearing helmets drank some cool beer and then died. If they had drunk warm beer, they would of lived. What happened? hints: A) They did not get drunk. No vehicles were involved. B) They slowly drank some beer and suffocated to death. C) They wanted to keep there beer cold. Very cold. They also didnt want the bottles to be wet. D) "hey that cave looks interesting!" Answer: Spoiler: they went splunking and had the beers in a cooler, which they had dry ice in. the dry ice melted, turning tinto Carbon Dioxide. because carbon dioxide is denser than air, it drove the oxygen out of the small low area of the cave they were in, suffocating them. 3) The most expensive car ever made is for sale. Although many people want to own it and can afford to buy it, nobody will do so. Why? hints: A)The car was used once and is in good condition, but it has not been driven for many years. B) Most people have seen it on TV, but they can't name the man who drove it. C)Its is not associated with any celebrity or with any remarkable historical event or tragedy, though when it was driven it was a special event at the time. D) yes, this car actually exists. Answer: Spoiler: The car is actually used for space expedition on the moon and it was kept on the moon for many years. Although many people want to buy it but "shipping is not included" and NASA is putting it on sale only as a joke. 4) A woman going a journey used a driver. Then she stopped and used a club to hit a large bird. She was very pleased. Why? Answer: Spoiler: She was playing golf and hit an Eagle, two under par and a very good score. 5) What can go from there to here by disappearing and then go from here to there by appearing? Answer: Spoiler: the letter "t" 6) What three-letter word complets the first word and startd the second? DON CAR Answer: Spoiler: Key. it completes the word donkey, and a key stars a car. 7) A man was determined to kill him self. He stood on top of a seaside clif and tied a noose around his neck and tied the other end of the rope to a branch on a near by tree. Then the man drank poison and set fire to his clothes. he had a gun ready to shoot himself. He jumped from the cliff and fired the gun. The man survived, How? Answer: (one of many) Spoiler: He misses with the bullet, which hits and severs the rope. He falls into the water, extinguishing the flames. The poison either wasn't a lethal dose or was too much and induced vomiting. 8.) Approximately how many house bricks does it take to complete a brick house in England?

Answer: Spoiler: Wet 10) I am as light as a feather, yet no man can hold me for long. What am I? |

I like riddles of all kinds, although I like the kind of narrative ones most. Ones in which the audience has to ask questions to figure it out. I haven't thought of an answer yet, but I would like to know if we are allowed to ask questions. For example, "Does 'quarter' refer to the monetary unit of currency representing 0.25 USD?" |

>would of Pet peeve detected. What would have happened if the man had had four quarters/a whole? |

(this does not count as a hint). |

How many quarters did the man actually have, or are we assuming that he had 0? |
