Here's some more to wet your whistle

1. what can you put in a barrel to make it lighter?

2. There is a town in Texas where 5% of all the people living there have unlisted phone numbers. If you selected 100 names at random from the town's phone directory, on average, how many of these people would have unlisted phone numbers?

3. we're five little items of an everyday sort, you'll find us all in a tennis court.   what are we?

4. A horse travels a certain distance each day. Strangely enough, two of its legs travel 30
miles each day and the other two legs travel nearly 31 miles. It would seem that two of the horse's legs must be one mile ahead of the other two legs, but of course this can't be true. Since the horse is normal, how is this situation possible?

5. The more there is the less you see.   What is it?

6. What can go around the world and always stays in the corner?

7. It is the beginning of eternity, the end of time and space, the begining of the end, and the end of every space?  What is it?

8. How can you give someone $63 using six bills, without using any one dollar bills?

9. Name an eight letter word that has kst in the middle, in the beginning, and at the end.

10. How many 'F's will you find in this sentance.  just read through it once and count.  (it's not a riddle but interesting none-the-less...

"FINISHED FILES ARE THE RESULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY COMBINED WITH THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS."


have fun!

People who only live in england or know about the english currency will only be able to get this one, but ill post it anyway:

I want to give you 30p, but i can only use 2 coins and one cant be a 20p.


The english money is:

1p
2p
5p
10p
20p
50p
£1
