yea yea. it just came to me. i got a lot of old ones.

1. there are 10 birds on the roof. you shoot one, it dies and lays on the roof. how many birds are left on the roof?

2. there are 2 coins in my pocket. added together, they make $0.55. BUT one of them isn't a $0.50 piece. which 2 coins do i have?

3. A cowboy rides into town on Friday. Stays for 3 days, and leaves on Friday. How does he do it?

eh. i got a lot of stupid ones too, that generally have no answer.

If a turtle doesen't have a shell, is it homeless or naked?

a scuba diver is dead with all his scuba gear in middle of the forest. why and how?

Because he couldn't swim well or breath without his scuba gear, so he drowned. Why it was left out in a forest, who knows. He should have put that shit on. :sarcasm:

wrong answer. and the hint IS related, if you saw the movie Tin Cup, this riddle is taken from the movie.

father and son involved ARE related. Same accident.

Nah, he forgot his scuba gear and didn't realize it until he was too far down to make it back up.

I just so happens that he lives in a tree house in the middle of the forest and forgot the take his gear with him ;).

There's a different answer for almost anything ;)

Surgeon is the grandfather, 10 birds, a nickel and a fifty cent piece, horse named Friday, turtle is naked because they have nests, scuba diver got sucked up in a water tank by a firecopter trying to put out a forest fire (not possible). That's all I remember.

They're called lateral thinking puzzles btw, we do them in my precalc class every day.

He is. We do like five minutes of puzzles MINIMUM a day, we go over any and all questions on the night before's homework as a group of four and then as a whole class, then we usually get 15 minutes to work on the next day's assignment. That class is pimp.

Problem is that it says child, so the surgeon is the mom. BTW, I like the movie Tin Cup. lol

well, the surgeon one, guess the grandfather could be right. originally, the answer was the mom.

1 bird is the answer. the dead bird remains on the roof and as you should know, birds fly away when there is a loud noise or sudden movement.

bingo on the friday.

not sure on the turtle, guess it was rhetorical.
