My girlfriend works extremely long, boring hours at her job, and in an effort to alleviate the boredom I've taken to sending her short riddles or logic games via text messages throughout the day. It gives her something to kill the time, and customers apparently enjoy trying to solve them as well. I'm unfortunately running out though.

Does anybody have any good ones to share, or know a site that has a lot?

Some examples:

1 - I'm holding two coins totalling 55 cents, one is not a nickel. What're the coins?

2 - What happened in 1961 that will not happen again for over 4000 years?

3 - You are in a cold house in the winter. It is dark. You have one match. There is a candle and there is a wood burning stove. Which do you light first?


Answers:
1 - 1 nickel, 1 50 cent piece; only one of the coins is not a nickel
2 - The date reads the same flipped upside-down as right-side up
3 - The Match


Anybody else? 🙂

Here's one for you,

it takes 6 men 3 hours to dig a hole,
how many men will it take to dig half a hole in ONE hour ?

My guess would be that you can't dig half a hole. A hole is a hole. If I'm wrong though I'd really like the answer 😉

Anybody else?
