..but I won't spoil the fun of how you get it.

That's not too hard, it just has to do with maintaining the same pattern in the columns of numbers...

Anyway, here is a riddle that I made up myself:

I watched the numbers change from 6521 to 0010.  What was I looking at?

A man has 8 gallons of wine that he wants to split between his two sons.  He doesn't have any measuring instruments to accurately divide the wine.  All he has is an 8 gallon, a 5 gallon, and a 3 gallon jug.  The 8 gallon is full, the other two are empty.  How does he devide the 8 gallons evenly using only the 3 jugs?

A black dog walks into the road, he has black eyes also.

Somehow he calmly avoids the dog.
How?

As someone already mentioned - it could have been daytime.  Also, perhaps the dog walked into the OTHER lane.  Since he can't see anything he never knows that the dog is in the other lane.

Wasn't there something like that in KOTOR. Under the ocean?

* Fill the 3
* Pour the 3 to the 5
* Fill the 3 again
* Pour the 3 to the five till it's full (you're left with 1 in the 3 thank, 5 in the 5 tank and 2 in the 8 tank)
* empty the five back to the 8
* move the 1 from 3 to 5
* fill the 3, move it to the 5 (with 1 in it)

and there you have it

A worm in a jar doubles it's size every day.
After 24 days it filled the jar completely.
Aow many days did it take to fill only half a jar?

What row of numbers comes next?  (Has nothing to do with mathematical equations)

1
11
21
1211
111221
312211
13112221

the succeeding line describes the line above it.

so it should be something along the lines of : 11(one 1) 13 (1 three) 21 (two one's) 32 (three 2's) 11 (one 1)

Thats the answer I was lookin for!

One morning a man is leaving on business trip and finds he left some paperwork at his office. He runs into his office to get it and the night watchman stops him and says, "Sir, don't get on the plane. I had a dream last night that the plane would crash and everyone would die!" The man takes his word and cancells his trip. Sure enough the plane crashes and everyone dies. The next morning the man gives the watchman a $1,000 reward for saving his life and then fires him. Why did he fire the watchman that saved his life?

In 1927 a local british newspaper posted this add:
"Tomorrow, 14-April-1927, We'll be having a memorial service to the pilot, Captain John Smith, who died in world war one, ten years ago.
The service will be held in the church on Main street.
Family and friends are invited."

This can't be true. Why?
