The answer to #2 is wrong, because every man is someone's son. So if there were three (a man, his son and his grandson) then there were three sons not two.
1. But what about heat exhaustion?
2. Four people shot three ducks. One of the ducks was hit by shot from multiple guns.
3. Holes... Good one. I thought the answer would be "nothing".
4. Your mom
5. A doctor and a nurse are in possession of someone else's baby.
6. A fart (breaking wind)
7.
8. A gigantic bloated corpse on the pavement
9.
10. My dick
Another great answer for #4:
The doctor and nurse are child molesters.
9. March? - WTF?
Why?
I LOVE MEN!!
number 9 isn't a riddle. 2 is wrong for the reason jonesey said, it should be two of them shot the same bird.
I figured that you would put "lighter fluid" in a box to make it lighter.
horrible horrible riddles. too effing easy. and what month is best for parades? that's like a joke for a 3rd grader, not a riddle.
It said that there were 2 fathers and 2 sons... it did not say there were 4 people. Facts are facts... not how you think they are.
"What can you put in a wood box that will make it lighter?"
It's a wood box... if you put fire into it, it will become lighter. Also, it will "make it [a] lighter"
"Don't feel embarrass if you can't get even one correct because I am one of them lol."
Yeah? Where's the grammar test?
The answer to #1 is wrong as well. the real answer is still hot but it has to do with molecular speed, not influenza.
#3 could also be helium, so long as the wooden box has a good seal.
#4's alternate answer is also move. For all molecules are in a constant state of motion.
My answer for #6 is A Demon.
#9 has to be November, because the thanksgiving parades are the best! :P
if your gonna be technical about it maybe you should learn the difference between a cold and influenza
Sorry to burst your bubble, but number 2 is WRONG. There are two fathers and THREE sons. The oldest man is also a son.
TPP (to previous poster):
What if the son is also a father of another son? Although that can be ambiguous.
2. Could be that they were two priests (fathers) that shot one regular duck and one siamese twin-duck
3. A torch
7. A shit?
10. The front of my underpants
a riddle or a joke is usually a play on words so thumbs up
Some of these are more of a poor joke than a ridle.
some alternates
3. what can you put in a wood box that will make it lighter?
A. i said matches, cause it would make a box of matches a lighter ;)
5. a doctor and a nurse have baby boy but blah blah?
A. the doctor and the nurse just deliver the baby. they don't conceive
6. What is so fragile even saying its name can break it?
A. the law... if you were in a no speaking zone lol
8. What turns everything around, but does not move?
A. No gravity aka space
9.What's the best month for a parade?
A. i personally think april because the flowers are blooming :)
10. What's white when it's dirty
A. your mom :) lolol ewwww
I like how poeple dont seem to get the parade one. In a parade, poeple "march". Get it? Dumbasses.
To the Nivekian--
If you're going to be a smartarse and use science, at least get it right... If you put helium in the box, it's still going to be heavier; you are putting more mass in the box. Man I hate pseudo-intellectuals...
Sciencejerk
My answer to #3 was fire.
To sciencejerk-
If you're going to be a smartass and get anal about an inane comment on shitty blog, you should strive to not embarrass yourself. If you added helium to the box, it would only gain mass if the inside of the box was a vacuum. Since the riddle doesn't specify the contents of the box, we can assume it contains air.
If you filled the box with helium (which is easily done by holding it upside down and pumping the helium upwards), it would force the air out. Since air is denser than helium, it will make the box lighter, assuming the seal is airtight.
Man, I hate dipshits who think they understand science.
Ha hahahah!
ScienceJerk got served!
To Anonymous September 8, 2008 2:35 AM, and Nivekian-
Putting Helium into the box will not actually make the box itself lighter, it would merely appear to be lighter due to the differing densities in the two gases. The physical construct of the box has not changed, so in real terms the box itself has not changed weight.
The process of placing/making holes in the box will obviously remove part of the box thereby resulting in a lighter box.
I love comment wars ! roflmao
Ski, you are bordering on correctness, but are still quite wrong.
Weight is the measure of how much gravitational force affects an object. In that respect, filling a closed object (the wooden box) with helium would decrease the relative affect of gravity on the box in much the same way that filling the box with lead would increase the affect of gravity on the box.
That said, you would be more correct if you argued that filling the box with helium would not have an affect on the boxes mass, but that would be irrelevant to the discussion.
Paul,
I actually signed up for email notification on this one, just in case someone did retort !
You are indeed correct, and i bow down and chew on my humble pie.
By the way, nice use of subtle sarcasm at the end. :)
Weight is weight = mass x density. The density of the box remains the same regardless of what's inside.
People... these are funny/dumb riddles/jokes. More for the kindergarden/elementary type. Answering these will not get you into MENSA or something, so stop getting all riled up over them. Just laugh or blow them off. Jeez!
i like pickles n icecream
#4 is incorrect
"What is it that everyone does at the same time?" Grow older.
Ever heard of Progeria? This condition, also known as Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria syndrome, is a condition in which physical aspects of aging are so greatly accelerated that affected children rarely live past the age of 13. Googling images should give you images of young children who appear to be in their 80's.
LAME! Makes me embarrass(ED) to read it from the first sentence!
Don't feel embarrass.
weight = mass * g (gravitational force), not density.
1. I think cold is faster, thinking about hypothermia I think (not sure though) that hypothermia sets in faster than hyperthermia...
2. Technically they are all sons (of someone) but I have no answer for this.
3. I would think putting helium inside the box would make it ligher but then again the box itself does not change weight.
4. This was a poorly laid out question. Yes Progeria does exist but in it's exception 'growing older' would be the best answer that I can think of.
5. Yes I agree (male nurse, female doctor). I've heard that one before.
6. Silence, wind
7. bacteria? haha
8. the ball bearings of a 'lazy susan' ? or the... idk I guess mirror.
9. March of course! Personally I prefer May as March tends to be quite cold where I live.
10. A baker (flour everywhere!) haha
Всем автору. А у нас славян (я из Беларуси) большинство народные, которым уже много много лет. Кстати, я пользователь одного сайта, где на загадках можно заработать, только там на русском.
All of the author. And we Slavs (I am from Belarus), the majority of people who have many many years. Incidentally, I am a user of one site, where zagadkah can earn only there for Russian. If the transfer of sloppy, it google blame. avory@inbox.ru
1: There is no such thing as cold, only the absence of heat - Eat that on your science pie!
2: Maybe the Fathers were preists, but the Sons were Children of Bodom, and they died on the beach.... nevermind...
3: If the box is not closed, it doesn't matter what you put 'in' it, and if it is closed, then you can't put anything in, so a hole is good, except a hole is like cold, it doesn't exist, so you can't put it there. I suppose if you put in a vacuum...
4: Dead people don't get older -or- Time doesn't actually exist. All live people Live at the same time though...
5: They work the infirmary...
6: Paranoia...
7: Any number of things... Greed, Gluttony, Time, restroom breaks, showers, memories, life, et cetera...
8: The Present, as the future becomes the past? Or, A Mobius strip?
9: Ramadan... again, nevermind...
10: Anything that isn't white when it is clean... A road in winter, a salt or bird poop covered car, a fogged-up mirror, lead posts on a battery, et cetera...
Laughter is good for the heart and soul.

What can you put in a box to make it lighter? Light. Dumbasses.

They are still getting older just faster than everyone else at least physically.
He didn't say "rate"; he said "time". Maybe he should have made his riddle more accurate by asking
"4. What is it that everybody does at the same time, but not necessarily at the same position or momentum, since certain pairs of physical properties cannot both be known to arbitrary precision."
This is what we can call the Heisenberg Uncertainty Riddle.
Now you must feel pretty embarrass.
