You should change the riddles some so that they aren't as easily googled for.

Not at all, i was stumped so i googled it, and lo and behold there it was. I wasn't going to post the answer though.

Sometimes people post riddles here and never come back to answer them, its very frustrating.
 
A prisoner is told "If you tell a lie we will hang you; if you tell the truth we will shoot you." What can he say to save himself?

This one's tricky, but think about the answer:

You will hang me!

Interestingly, if he were a man who always told the truth he could say, "I'm a liar" Then they'd have to do both.

Goth, you googling all these?

Back to a quick easy one:

What has a head, a tail, is brown, and has no legs?

snake? seems like it could be many things to me
 
Here's another riddle, and maybe not Google-able:

A man is walking through the woods and enters a cabin. On the floor of the cabin, he sees two dead bodies with bloody head wounds. How did they die (i.e. what caused the head wounds)?

the answer's supposed to be a penny, but i see your point. and on top of it all, a penny is copper, not brown

Let me go back to a nice, clever one:

Five hundred begins it, five hundred ends it,
Five in the middle is seen;
First of all figures, the first of all letters,
Take up their stations between.
Join all together, and then you will bring
Before you the name of an eminent king.

Since the answer is my first name, I won't reveal the answer to it unless everyone else is stumped 😉
 
Oldie but goodie:

Say you're walking down a path in the woods. You come to a fork in the road. One path is a long and dangerous dead end that will surely lead to your demise. The other is a simple, well-traveled path that leads back into town. Two people are standing there. they both know which path leads to town and which path leads to certain death. One of them always lies, and one of them is always honest. They are both aware of the other one's tendency to tell the truth or tell lies. You have no idea which one does what. What is the ONE question you can ask ONE of the persons so that you know which path to take?

Please don't google or answer if you heard it. There's no reward in cheating. The reward is in FIGURING IT OUT!

Sorry, didn't know we shouldn't give the answer if we knew it.

No clue on this one -- maybe ask the honest one, "Would you follow me down path X?" If they say "No", then take the other path.

That won't work, just read the part about not knowing who is honest...

You throw away the outside and cook the inside. Then you eat the outside and throw away the inside. What did you eat?
