1. Why is a raven like a writing desk?

2. There was a plane crash and every single person dies. No one was around for one hundred miles. nobody witnessed it happen. How did the newspapers find out about it the next day? Note: The answer is not "because it didn't arrive at it's destination."

3. What happens twice in a week, never in a month, and once in a year?

4. Romeo is dead on the floor next to a pool of water and some broken glass. Juliet is asleep on the couch. The door to the room is locked and there is a window, but it is unbroken. What happened?

5. What work is it that the faster you work, the longer it is before you're done, and the slower you work, the sooner you're finished?

6. I'm so fast you can't see me, though everyone see straight through me, I don't stop until the day you die. What am I?

7. Why did the wagon train stop in the middle of the prairie?

8. What question can you never answer "no" to?

9. In both heaven and in hell there are people sitting around a circular table. They are forced to sit ten feet away and reach the food with long chopsticks. This is extremely difficult, and a catch is rare. Why do the people in heaven live and the people in hell die. Note: It is not "they are both already dead, so it doesn't matter".

10. A boy was at a carnival and went to a booth where a man said to the boy, "If I write your exact weight on this piece of paper then you have to give me $50, but if I cannot, I will pay you $50."
The boy looked around and saw no scale so he agrees, thinking no matter what the carny writes he'll just say he weighs more or less.

In the end the boy ended up paying the man $50. How did the man win the bet?

11. On this planet yesterday is always BEFORE today. In what place does yesterday always FOLLOW today?

See how you go with those. :clap:

1. There isn't really an answer to this one, Lewis Caroll made an answer up in the end because he was sick of people asking.because you can get a few notes out of both
One of my favourite childhood books that riddle is from :)

Although technically you can answer no to any question...doesn't mean that it will be true though

11. This planet! If you follow something you have to be behind it therefore yesterday is behind today on this planet.
