Hmm, I can’t figure that one out Jack. A quick internet search did not find me an answer either.

“A blind man sees a rabbit, a one legged man runs him down and a naked man picks him up and puts it in his pocket.” I’ve been trying to solve this one for some time. The riddle was told to me so the word ’sees’ might also be ’sieze’. The same answer explains all three and its something that you hear every day.

Any ideas?

1 and 2 cross (2 minutes elapsed)
1 returns (2+1=3 minutes elapsed)
3 and 4 cross (3+10 = 13 minutes elapsed)
2 returns (13+2 = 15 minutes elapsed)
1 and 2 cross (15+2 = 17 minutes elapsed)

There are 4 men who want to cross a bridge. They all begin on the
same side. You have 17 minutes to get all of them across to the other
side. It is night. There is one flashlight. A maximum of two people
can cross at one time. Any party who crosses, either 1 or 2 people,
must have the flashlight with them. The flashlight must be walked
back and forth, it cannot be thrown, etc. Each man walks at a different
speed. A pair must walk together at the rate of the slower man

Man 1: 1 minute to cross
Man 2: 2 minutes to cross
Man 3: 5 minutes to cross
Man 4: 10 minutes to cross

For example if Man 1 and Man 4 walk across first, 10 Minutes have
elapsed when they get to the other side of the bridge. If Man 4
returns with the flashlight, a total of 20 minutes have passed, and
you have failed the mission

a certain lock has no combination or key and does not stop people from getting the object inside it. Its owners are pleased with its performance and make no effort to repair or replace it.

Candy - I couldn’t figure out the one you posted, and did an internet search for it. Here’s a discussion I found:

http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~wwu/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=what_am_i;action=display;num=1145114589;start=

(Hopefully the link works).

Short summary - there really isn’t a satisfying answer to the riddle. “Pressure”, “Time”, and “Salt” were all proposed, but none are perfect, IMO. Also, in some versions, the riddle ends something like “Can you guess what I am?”, and in that case, the answer is supposedly “No”. I’m not thrilled with any of those answers though.
