    Starting off the riddles:

    "What is once in a minute, twice in a moment, but never in a thousand years?"



    Building happiness,

    That one is easy :) The "m"!

    The new one: A farmer is with his goat, a wolf and a cabbage at the river and wants to cross. The boat is very small and can only carry two. But the goat can not be left alone with the wolf, who would kill her. And the goat itself would eat the cabbage. How can the farmer cross the river with them all?

    -> Man + Goat
    <- Man
    -> Man + Cabbage (or wolf)
    <- Man + Goat
    -> Man + Wolf (or cabbage)
    <- Man
    -> Man + Goat

    Or walk down the river to the next bridge, y'know.... It's probably quicker! ;)

    Here's a classic: What walks on 4 legs in the morning, 2 in the afternoon, and 3 at night?

    Yep - gotta love the Sphynx for being one of the earliest riddlers ;)

    Answer: A towel!

    Next one: If a rooster lays an egg at the top of a hill*, which way does the egg roll down?

    * For the purposes of this experiment, the assumption is made that this is a completely symmetrical hill with no lumps or nobbles, and the egg is placed right at the very peak. Additionally, that the egg is a standard, healthy, fresh egg.

    Answer: There won't be an egg; roosters don't lay eggs.

    Riddle: The rungs of a 10 foot ladder attached to a ship are 1 foot apart. If the water is rising at a rate of 1 foot per hour, how long will it take until the water covers the ladder

    I shamelessly admit that I was hoping to catch a non-native speaker out with that one :D

    Answer: 10 hours, though I'm confused as to why that's a riddle. Are the rungs more distracting when asked aloud?

    Next: I ate my breakfast this morning, but decided to go for a walk before I washed up my breakfast dishes. I left my house and walked in a straight line for a mile. I turned to my right and walked for exactly 1 mile in a straight line. I changed direction once more, exactly to my right, and walked in another straight line for another 1 mile. Arriving home, I went in and took my dishes to the sink to do the washing up.

    Where do I live?

    Riillaith, you are wrong, as the ship will rise with the tides. Therefore, the water shall never cover the ladder... lol

    *headdesk* The shame!!! :oops: I was so busy looking for the catch that I missed the massive great big one staring me in the face! Well done, sir, I salute you!!

    Clearly, the ship *I* was referring to was one with a HOLE in its hull! *COUGH*

    PS: Next riddle can be found 2 posts above!

    I'm going to take a guess that your house moves. So do you live on a train?

    Not sure if this is right, so I won't jump ahead on a new riddle. If it is solved, go ahead and take my turn (anyone).

    You live at either the North or South Pole.

    A truck carrying tomatoes, carrots, and cabbages goes around a sharp corner. What drops first?

    The carrots,
    There is a room with two dead bodies on the floor. Also there is a puddle of water on the floor along with shattered glass and a pebble, there are no doors but a window that is smashed, and the bodies werent murdered. How did they die?​

    The truck falls first.
    To the where is my house, a 1 mile circumference meteor/planet would work o_0
    To the two dead bodies... I can only guess that the bodies are fish bodies, someone threw a rock through window, hit their bowl, and they died... Not sure if this is right though because fish cant be "murdered"...

    Next One: What Animal am I? I am a mammal, i give birth to live young. If my entire species was wiped off the face of the earth i would be back in one year. Note: If i give birth to live young, and my entire species was wiped of the Earth, there would be none of me to give birth to live young. I am a mammal so i need a member of the opposite sex to breed. So what am i?
