Answer for the one set in post #2: The letter 'e'

Here are a few more...

1. A man stops his car outside a hotel, although he knows he has no money. Why?

2. A man is on a train. As the train goes through a tunnel, he opens the door and throws himself to his death. Why? (You can tell it's an old train, as you can open the door while the train is moving)

3. A young man is drawing. Slowly, he leans forward then stops drawing. He runs a few steps and starts drawing again. This happens a few times, until he eventually stands still. What is going on?

4. Two men are sat at a table. For just over 3 hours, there has been complete silence. Suddenly, one of teh men stands up with a yell of triumph - which quickly turns to a shriek of agony. Can you explain what happened?

He He, all good but try these:

1) A women wishes to choose a man out of her three favourites, but wants to see which one is smartest.She buts a mark on each man's forehead and tells them that they have either a blue mark or a red mark.she tells them to raise their hand if they see a blue mark on either of the other two. The smartest man was the one to say what colour his mark was and how he decided that. All of the men raised their hands, a few moments later one of them had the answer, what colourwas the winner's mark and how did he know?

2)(and this one has been around for a while so sorry if you've already heard it) What's greater than God, more evil than the devil, rich people want it, poor people have it and if you eat it you will die.

3)A aman is found dead, frozen solid, in the middle of a field, where the lowest temperature that day was 25C. How did he get there?

I'm stumped by most of yours, but i'll keep working on 'em

im rubbish at riddles but i have 4 here:

1) Why is it illegal to bury a man living on the west side of the Rhine?

2) 2 monkeys are sitting in the corner of a room and they look at another 2 monkeys sitting in another corner of the room. These 2 monkeys also look at 2 monkeys sitting in another corner of the room. How many monkeys could each monkey say they have looked at?

3) A man is driving along a road. He is very wealthy but when he reaches the end of the road he loses everything. why is this?

4) What room has no doors?

1) Because he's still alive
2) Monkeys can't talk, so they couldn't say anything
3) Two possible answers: i) He's playing monopoly, ii) The road ends at a cliff edge, which he went over, therefore losing everything (including his life)
4) A mushroom

Thats not true. Mushrooms do have doors... else how would the Pixies live in them?

just for assurance (after a couple days, I know), the letter 'e' is the correct answer.
