riddle 1: A farmer in California own a beautiful pear tree. He supplies the fruit to a nearby grocery store. The store owner has called the farmer to see how much fruit is available for him to purchase. The farmer knows that the main trunk has 24 branches. Each branch has exactly 12 boughs and each bough has exactly 6 twigs. Since each twig bears one piece of fruit, how many plums will the farmer be able to deliver?


riddle 2:A headless man had a letter to write;
It was read by a man who had lost his sight.
The dumb repeated it word for word;
And deaf was he who listened and heard


riddle 3:A king decided to let a prisoner try to escape the prison with his life. The king placed 2 marbles in a jar that was glued to a table. One of the marbles was supposed to be black, and one was supposed to be blue.

If the prisoner could pick the blue marble, he would escape the prison with his life. If he picked the black marble, he would be executed. However, the king was very mean, and he wickedly placed 2 black marbles in the jars and no blue marbles. The prisoner witnessed the king only putting 2 black marbles in the jars.

If the jar was not see-through and the jar was glued to the table and that the prisoner was mute so he could not say anything, how did he escape with his life?


riddle 4: A clock chimes 5 times in 4 seconds. How many times will it chime in 10 seconds?


riddle 5: A rich man's son was kidnapped. The ransom note told him to bring a valuable diamond to a phone booth in the middle of a public park.

1:none plums dont grow on pear trees
2:The letter in question is the letter "O".
It is zero. The man had nothing to write.
The blind could read nothing.
The person who was dumb could repeat nothing.
The deaf man listened and heard nothing.
3:The prisoner grabbed one of the marbles from the jar and concealed it in his hand. He then swallowed it, and picked up the other marble and showed everyone. The marble was black, and since the other marble was swallowed, it was assumed to be the blue one. So the mean king had to set him free.
4:11 times it chimed at 0 sec
5:This is a true story from Taiwan. When the rich man reached the phone booth he found a carrier pigeon in a cage. It had a message attached telling the man to put the diamond in a small bag which was around the pigeon's neck and to release the bird.

When the man did this the police were powerless to follow the bird as it returned across the city to its owner.

Here are the answers..even if noone guessed

2:The letter in question is the letter "O".
It is zero.

Theres no letter zero. Theres a number 0 but not a letter.

And even if u saw it on paper you would still say zero on something you wouldnt say nothing. Gawd.

The prisoner grabbed one of the marbles from the jar and concealed it in his hand. He then swallowed it, and picked up the other marble and showed everyone. The marble was black, and since the other marble was swallowed, it was assumed to be the blue one. So the mean king had to set him free.

Err thats a bit.. stupid.. you want to explain further?

Anyways basically your giving us nothing. Heres an example of a riddle you can actually guess(quite easily).

There was a guy in a room. He was hanging from the ceiling(ya know around the neck). There was a puddle of water under him. How did he die?
