(Go to the last pages for the most recent riddles.

Greeting's puzzle go-ers.

I have decided to make another puzzle hub. Do not be fooled, this is not the official Puzzle/Riddle Hub.

I'll probably make the official Puzzle/Riddle Hub a blog or something, but if someone has a recommendation on how I can approach this, feel free to PM me.

As the MasterRiddler, I challenge you to solve these riddles:

#1: A woman was horrified to find a fly in her tea. The waiter took her cup and went into the kitchen and returned with a fresh cup of tea. She shouted, "You brought me the same tea!" How did she know?

#2:A petshop owner had a parrot with a sign on its cage that said "Parrot repeats everything it hears." A young man bought the parrot and for two weeks he spoke to it and it didn't say a word. He returned the parrot but the shopkeeper said he never lied about the parrot. How can this be?

#3:Which word in the English language becomes shorter when it is lengthened?

#4:You give someone a dollar. You are this person's brother, but the person is not your brother. How can that be?

#5:A psychologist goes to a village in Africa and decides to compare foot size to intelligence. He notes that in general, as foot size increases, so does intelligence. How can this be?

#6:A murderer is condemned to death. He has to choose between three rooms. The first is full of raging fires, the second is full of assassins with loaded guns, and the third is full of lions that haven't eaten in 3 years. Which room is safest for him?

#7:He has married many women, but has never been married. Who is he?

#8:How many times can you subtract the number 5 from 25?

I have an old one that took me a while to figure out.

There is a man with a cabbage, a goat, and a wolf. The wolf will eat the goat if left alone with it, the goat will eat the cabbage if left alone with it. Now the man wants to cross a river with his cabbage,his sheep, and his wolf but the boat will sink if he takes more then 1 of them with him across the river. How does the man cross the river? take the wolf, then the cabbage, then the goat.

And another

A cowboy goes into town on Friday. He stays and sleeps in the town for 3 24-hour days. He leaves town on Friday. How did he do this? the horse's name is friday

Clearly, this hub has dwindled in interest.

That's alright with me really. I have no more interest in this site anymore.

--The mods aren't helpful and refuse to answer EVERY one of my questions/concerns, and when I go to the Admin, he/she never replied.

--Plus, sometimes the site lags beyond my control and even crashes periodically.

--Noobs keep reporting my skins (in the past) for looking SIMILAR to other people's. Some were removed for ACTUALLY breaking a PMC rule, which is fine, but others, not so much.

If this account were to get banned for what I said (because the mods are offended easily and are strict on keeping order), it doesn't matter. I could always make another account if I wanted to. They can't stop me.

And even if they ban my ip address (which pretty much only an Admin could do, but this is an educated guess), I could either join this site through a proxy, change my ip, or use other computers I have access to with different ip's. The mods can't stop me. The mods can't stop anyone really. They just ban them so they don't have to deal with them anymore, but if everyone were to uproar, they couldn't possibly ban EVERYONE.

It's like this on any forum site really.

It's not even worth it being a mod. You are forced to deal with noobs and constantly patrol around to make sure no one is doing bad. You don't even get paid, it's just something "fun" they do. I'm sure it works for them, but I just see no true benefit. (educated guess)

If a mod really cared, he/she could and would tell me otherwise and not just fill the stereotype people think of mods and just ban me.

I will probably just limit my PMC visiting to maybe once a month or so. They really need to expand what people can do on this site or just maybe add new things to keep everything fresh.

I'm just saying. I bid you fair-well PMC.

It's $1 per digit, so 913 is only $3.

Try the second one.

The first one-- Each time the decimal point moves over one, its adds $1.00. Thus, 913 costs $3.00. (maybe...?)

--There is a shop that reads:
Buy 1 for $1.00
10 for $2.00
100 for $3.00
I needed 913 and still only paid $3.00. How could this be financially viable for the shop-keeper?

--Using only two 2's and any combination of mathematical signs, symbols and functions can you make 5?

How many other ways can you do this?

Correct.

--Mr. Black, Mr. Gray, and Mr. White are fighting in a truel. They each get a gun and take turns shooting at each other until only one person is left. Mr. Black, who hits his shot 1/3 of the time, gets to shoot first. Mr. Gray, who hits his shot 2/3 of the time, gets to shoot next, assuming he is still alive. Mr. White, who hits his shot all the time, shoots next, assuming he is also alive. The cycle repeats. If you are Mr. Black, where should you shoot first for the highest chance of survival?

--If you throw me from the window,
I will leave a grieving wife.
Bring me back, but in the door, and
You'll see someone giving life!

What am I?

Here's a hard riddle that Einstein made himself. Don't use the internet for the answer.

There are no tricks, just pure logic, so good luck and don't give up.

1. In a street there are five houses, painted five different colours.
2. In each house lives a person of different nationality
3. These five homeowners each drink a different kind of beverage, smoke different brand of cigar and keep a different pet.

THE QUESTION: WHO OWNS THE FISH?

HINTS

1. The Brit lives in a red house.
2. The Swede keeps dogs as pets.
3. The Dane drinks tea.
4. The Green house is next to, and on the left of the White house.
5. The owner of the Green house drinks coffee.
6. The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds.
7. The owner of the Yellow house smokes Dunhill.
8. The man living in the centre house drinks milk.
9. The Norwegian lives in the first house.
10. The man who smokes Blends lives next to the one who keeps cats.
11. The man who keeps horses lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill.
12. The man who smokes Blue Master drinks beer.
13. The German smokes Prince.
14. The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
15. The man who smokes Blends has a neighbour who drinks water.

ALBERT EINSTEIN WROTE THIS RIDDLE EARLY DURING THE 19th CENTURY. HE SAID THAT 98% OF THE WORLD POPULATION WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO SOLVE IT.

3. Touch the tip of A pole to the center of the B pole. The touch the opposite tip of A pole to the same center of B pole. If B pole doesn't react differently each time, it is the magnet. If B pole sticks at one time, and pushes away another time, A pole is the magnet,

What rises and falls without end, yet never brightens the day?

What goes on without stopping yet stops to each man one day, What Ebbs and Flows like rivers, yet crashes and rewinds like a Car wreck in a movie, What goes dastardly fast when times seem to be good, and slow as the tortoise when rough roads are near,
What seems to be nothing but hands on a dime?



Sorry, but i wanted to try and guess these because i was bored.
Um, for what rises and falls... your chest maybe? 'Cause you're breathing?

And for the other one... a plane?
