So, there was a thread on here a while back dedicated to riddles. Thaboss hasn't seen any new thread recently, so he's decided to start his own. Feel free to post and respond to any riddles.

Here's a classic one.

Bob hates his job. One day, while Bob is working on the 34th floor of an office building, he decides he's fed up with it. He rips open a window, and jumps through it. Although Bob is on the 34th floor, and there was nothing to stop, slow down, or cushion his fall, when he landed, he was perfectly fine. How?

Never heard of this one :/

Out of the eater came forth meat.. I supposed someone who eats has been eaten... and out of the strong came forth sweetness..

A strong man was eating honey in the desert but he died, and the vultures eated his meat. Then bees came atracted from the honey inside him, and made a hive in there? I suppose this is the answer.

1: On the 20th of July, 1929, an accountant bought a newspaper and saw yesterday's report which puzzled him : A Legendary Pilot, Hero from The First World War, dies in a car crash under mysterious curcumstances. Which word from this headline was not written as not from that time?

2: You are in front of a gate of a closed city. You can enter, only if you know the password.

In front of the gates is a child. The guard says 5. The child thinks and says 4. The guard opens the gates and the child enters.

In front of the gates is a woman. The guard says 8.The woman thinks and says 5. The guard opens the gates and the woman enters.

In front of the gates is a man. The guard says 6. The man thinks and says 3. The guard opens the gates and the man enters.

Now it's your turn. The guard says 7. What is your answer? And why.

Alright, if famous riddles are to be posted... This is apparently the hardest logic puzzle in the world. Sorry for it being a logic puzzle, but thaboss likes them more than riddles. Just bear with him.

"Three gods A, B, and C are called, in some order, 'True',
'False', and 'Random'. True always speaks truly, False always speaks
falsely, but whether Random speaks truly or falsely is a completely random
matter. Your task is to determine the identities of A, B, and C by asking
three yes-no questions; each question must be put to exactly one god. The
gods understand English, but will answer all questions in their own language, in which the words for 'yes' and 'no' are 'da' and 'ja', in some order.
You do not know which word means which."

So, what do you ask?

I'm a girl, and the answer to the first one (i think) is the boat was too heavy to float. The second I can't remember, but I have seen it before.

You left the part out of it being sunday. That's pretty much the key element here.

The Captain's Dilemma (Easy)

On a ship a captain is in charge of transporting 100 million dollars worth of diamond to a nearby port. The owners of the diamonds were scared that the real diamonds were going to be stolen and convinced the captain to bring a second batch of plastic diamonds (Expertly made) on the ship. The owner decided to make a big show of giving away the diamonds on a further away port and then send the real ones to the nearby port. The owner was very arrogant and while on the ship he challenged every single person he met to guess which diamond was real and which one was not. Unfortunately it just so happened that a legitimate diamond investigator was on the ship. When the owner asked the person to guess he replied back with a small nod of the head (As to not show to much enthusiasm). When the owner and the man went to the chests they opened them up and took one out of each. The man just took his special glass out to take a look at the diamonds when a huge wave came past and sent all the chests (And the diamonds within) sprawled on the floor. Suddenly the owner grew very angry and he asked for the captain to sort out this mess or he was sure to get fired. The owner was a very rich man and was capable of this. As the captain was going crazy on how to distribute his men a young boy gave him an idea.

Only 30 minutes later the diamonds were sorted out and placed in appropriate chests. What did the boy say?
