Here, I am going to be posting riddles and brain teasers of the sort for everyone else to solve. Some might be hard, some might be really easy but we'll just see...
Brain Teaser:
In the basement there are 3 light switches in the off position. Each switch controls 1 of 3 light bulbs on the floor above. You may move any of the switches, but you may only go up stairs one time. How can you determine which switch controls each light?
Riddle (hard):
What is so fragile that when you say its name you break it?

Wrong, you leave the first switch one for ten minutes. Next you turn the first one off and turn the second one on. Then you go up. The one that is on is the second light. The light that is hot is the first light, and by process of elimination the last light is the third one.

My idea was still creative... then again most likely I'd just be like, "SCREW THIS!" and do it MY way, which involves overcomplicating everything like... funnelling orange juice through a straw to get to the cup- which is not as fun as it sounds, trust me!

Matt gave me that riddle, he said the Silence one was hard (according to his friends but you've never seen these guys, I swear they were blondes in past lives xP).
Riddle 2:
Until I am measured,
I am not known.
Yet how you miss me,
When I have flown.
Brain Teaser 2:
Mr. and Mrs. Wilson have five children, half of them are boys. How is this possible?
[This brain teaser is easy but sensible answers please xP)[/color]

Yay! You got them right, you're too good xP or maybe their just too easy....Anyways, I have more xP
Riddle 3:
You use a knife to slice my head and weep beside me when I am dead.
What am I?
Riddle 4:
What does man love more than life,
Fear more than death or mortal strife,
What the poor have, the rich require,
And what contented men desire,
What misers spend, and spendthrifts save,
And all men carry to the grave?
ooc|| This last one isn't very good but lets see if you get it, which you probably will.[/color]

Correct! First one is 'Onion' and second is 'Nothing' xP Well done, here's a couple more.
Riddle 5
A horse is tied to a five meter rope in front of an old saloon. Six meters behind the horse is a bale of hay. Without breaking his rope, the horse is able to eat the hay whenever he chooses. How is this possible?
Riddle 5
Of no use to one
Yet absolute bliss to two.
The small boy gets it for nothing.
The young man has to lie for it.
The old man has to buy it.
The baby's right,
The lover's privilege,
The hypocrite's mask.
To the young girl, faith;
To the married woman, hope;
To the old maid, charity.
Riddle 6
A word I know,
Six letters it contains,
Subtract one,
And twelve remains....

Well, if the horse was tied by the ankle or something, he'd probably be able to eat some serious hay, yo. *nods*
