1. What falls but never breaks and breaks but never falls? 2. What has four legs in the morning, two in the evening, and three at night? 3. 3 cannibals and 3 soldiers are stuck at a river crossing with 1 boat. The boat can hold 3 people and must have 1 to guide it acroos the river, but you can't have a majority of cannibals in one area because they'll eat the soldiers and you can't have a majority of soldiers in an area because they'll kill the cannibals. How do they get all 6 across without anybody getting killed or eaten? 4. Scientists in the South Pole discover two frozen bodies. They observe a feature that tells them directly that this is Adam & Eve. What feature did they observe? 5. A man builds a two story house. Upstairs he has 3 lights installed in a row and downstairs are the 3 switches. He wants to find out which switch goes to which light and he wants to do it in 1 trip. How can he do this? ------------------ Arkansas' Biggest Rocket Fan!
1. What falls but never breaks and breaks but never falls? It does both? I would say "water". Water falls, and waves break. I dunno. 3. 3 cannibals and 3 soldiers are stuck at a river crossing with 1 boat. The boat can hold 3 people and must have 1 to guide it acroos the river, but you can't have a majority of cannibals in one area because they'll eat the soldiers and you can't have a majority of soldiers in an area because they'll kill the cannibals. How do they get all 6 across without anybody getting killed or eaten? All three soldiers get on the boat and cross. One comes back. When he gets there all three cannibals get on the boat, and let two off on the other side with the two soldiers. Then the cannibal comes back to get the last soldier and they cross together. Like peas in a pod 4. Scientists in the South Pole discover two frozen bodies. They observe a feature that tells them directly that this is Adam & Eve. What feature did they observe?

Neither of them have a belly-button... The other 4 I am still working on, but I have seen the 5th one before. I never did figure out the answer to it, and really frustrated me. ------------------ Watch out for gay Limbo Dancers.
You flip the first switch on, wait a few minutes, then turn it off. Then you turn the 2nd one one. You go upstairs. One lightbulm is on, one lightbulb is cool, and the other is warm (from having just been on). ------------------
Holy Geez! Is this the right answer? It must be... Damnit! It is so simple!!!!!! ------------------ Watch out for gay Limbo Dancers.
Yes that is the right answer and now #3, #4, and #5 have all been answered correctly, but the correct answers to #1 and #2 have yet to be posted. ------------------ Arkansas' Biggest Rocket Fan!
if that one soldier came back, wouldn't he have been eaten? ------------------ Im too drunk to walk ... Im driving home!
Props to you for including the riddle of the sphinx. A harder question might be, where was it first stated (and solved)? ------------------ I'm about to boldly go where many men have gone before.
True true. Wasn't it in Oedipus Rex? I usually can't remember but I know it was in a book I read. ------------------ Arkansas' Biggest Rocket Fan!
Is #1 the temperature or rain? Or is it night? CK ------------------ When someone annoys you, it takes 42 muscles to frown, but it takes 4 to reach out and b****-slap the b*stard upside the head [This message has been edited by Castor27 (edited April 24, 2001).]
One of those three is right ubt it has to be put into different terms. ------------------ Arkansas' Biggest Rocket Fan!
Yep! I only know cause I was talking with a coworker about it last week. The nerd alert was blaring that day, I'll tell you. ------------------ I'm about to boldly go where many men have gone before.
Actually I knew it was night and day but the network at work crapped out so I couldn't edit my post until now. CK ------------------ When someone annoys you, it takes 42 muscles to frown, but it takes 4 to reach out and b****-slap the b*stard upside the head
