A policeman had a perfect spot to watch for speeders, but wasn't
getting too many. Then, he discovered the problem. A 10-year
old boy was standing up the road from him with a hand-painted
sign which read, "RADAR TRAP AHEAD". The officer then found a
younger accomplice down the road with a sign reading "TIPS" and
a bucket full of change.

Erm..I'm having trouble with the first one..Just need time to think..By that time someone will get it..LMAO

Here is one!

Three men checked into a hotel room for which they paid $30. The next day, the manager realized that the men had been overcharged. She gave the bellhop $5 to return to the three men. On the way to their room the bellhop decided to keep $2 for himself, and give each of the three men one dollar. The three men had now paid $9 each, or a total of $27. This plus the $2 the bellhop kept makes a total of $29. What happened to the other dollar?

i've heard of this riddle before but i don't remember the answer...i'll take a wild guess right now...

the guys paid $30
the boss gave $5 back to them
bell boy kept $2, gives $3 back to the 3 men
total 3 guys paid = $27

grrrrr nevermind i'm confused now~

i'm gonna say this briefly so i don't confuse myself again

They paid $30 for room
Boss gave $5 back so it's:
$25 for roOm

$3 back to the three guys
$2 of which the bellboy kept for himself

25+3+2=30

A black dog is standing in the middle of a black road.
There are no streetlights.
A car comes down the road,
And does not have any lights.
Yet, the car stops just in front of the dog.
How did the driver see the dog?

1) What is the largest possible number you can write using only 2 digits?

the next one is considered 'unsolveable':
I wear gray, woven over
With bright and gleaming gems. I bring
The stupid to folly's paths, fool
The ignorant with sin, urge all the useless
Roads and ruin the rest. I can'
Explain their madness, for I push them to error
And pick their brains, yet they praise me more.
For each seduction. Their dullness will be sorrow,|
When they lead their souls on high, unless
They learn to walk wisely, and without my help.

There are 5 houses, each is a different colour
In each house lives a person of a different nationality.
These 5 owners all drink a certain beverage, smoke a certain brand of cigar and keep a certain pet.
No owner has the same pet, smokes the same brand of cigar or drinks the same drink as another owner.

1: The Briton lives in a red house.
2: The Swede keeps dogs as pets
3: The Dane drinks tea
4: The green house is on the left of the white house (they are also next door to each other)
5: The green house owner 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 house right in the center drinks milk
9: The Norwegian lives in the first house
10: The man who smokes Blend lives next to the one who keeps cats
11: The man who keeps horses lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill
12: The owner 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 Blend has a neighbor who drinks water.

The question is: WHO KEEPS FISH?

Answer is??Coming soon..Gawd did I flop on this one!

<font size="4" face="Tempus Sans ITC, Tahoma">Why would the manager give the bellhop five singles instead of a five dollar bill?

Radar Trap

Great idea, but I dont know if I want that thing right next to my head... Im afraid soldiers get exposed to enough carcinogens as it is, having a radar set strapped next to your head seems like the cherry on the top of a cancer pie.

Radar Trap

I personally would have gone with the second pilot - Where No Man Has Gone Before instead of The Man Trap. It would have been confusing to most people back then in 1966 to have one episode suddenly change the looks and go back again.
