try these riddles some of them are pretty hard so read question carefully
RIDDLE 1
A farmer and his hired help were carrying grain to the barn. The farmer carried one sack of grain and the hired help carried two sacks. Who carried the heavier load and why?
RIDDLE 2
A man was born in 1955. He's alive and well today at age 33. How is this possible?
RIDDLE 3
Can you name three consecutive days without using the words Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday?
RIDDLE 4
This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it? It looks so plain you would think nothing was wrong with it! In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is unusual though. Study it, and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out!
RIDDLE 5
When can you add two to eleven and get one as the correct answer?
RIDDLE 6
If it takes six men six days to dig six holes, how long will it take one man to dig half a hole?
answers on a postcard
or here whichever you choose first person to get all 3 right wins a prize...i dunno a pop up ad or something i havent decided yet

No word with the letter "e".

Pass.
RIDDLE 6
If it takes six men six days to dig six holes, how long will it take one man to dig half a hole?
It can't be done... you cannot dig just "half" a hole.

How are we suppose to know that the 2 and the 11 and the 1 are really hours of the day?

To expand on Ender's statement.
As I understand it, bread was sold in total weight. Say you bought one pound of bread, in a dozen small loaves. Since scales may not have necessarily been available, and the penalty for "cheating" the buyer could mean the loss of life, bakers tended to throw in an extra piece, hence "baker's dozen"
(the explanation may not be accurate in the quasi-historical references, but it's the gist of how the term "bakers dozen" came about)
