Take out 3, and then 2 of these are guaranteed to be the same color. ;)

okay, here's another one.

Twice eight are ten of us, and ten but three.
Three of us are five. What can we be?
If this is not enough, I will tell you more.
Twelve of us are six, and nine but four.
What are we?

Thanks The Man! How long did it take to solve it?

Oh! Sorry for the late response, UWFShooter; I been doin' some other things on the weekend . . . and during the week as well :D . Running into my posting time and all, hahah.

To answer your question . . . took me about 15 mins. to figure that one out.

OK, here's another math riddle:

If you can make one cigar out of 3 butts, and you have 10 butts, how can you smoke a total of 5 cigars?

does your own butt count?

Only if you have a SMART ASS! :)

as for the riddle, assuming after you smoke a cigar, you are left with a butt, you only smoke 2 butts of a reconstituted cigar, then 10 butts makes 5 cigars.

Correct answer:

After you smoke the 4th cigar, you have 2 butts. Then you ask a friend to lend you another butt, you make the cigar, smoke it, and RETURN the butt to your friend - better to lose a butt than your friend!

i don't know whether these have been questioned or not. heck, it may even be common. but i shall just post it.

1) What is something that you own but people use it more than you do?

Question:
In a room there are two sons and two fathers. How many people are there?

I think the previous one was very easy. The next question:
How many numbers are there between "2" and "4"?

) What is something that you own but people use it more than you do?

cigarrette? nah... I know it's wrong :sweat:

Your dvds? My friends always borrow mines..ahh my first quote!!

@vibius..I guess not since I would've never figured out that cigar riddle, not a smoker or have any knowledge of cigar.

This thing all things devours,
Birds,beasts,trees,flowers,
Gnaws iron,bites steel,
Grinds hard stones to meal,
Slays kings,ruins town,
And beats high mountain down.

Voiceless it cries,
Wingless flutters,
Toothless bites,
Mouthless mutters.
