<< A boy was at a carnival and went to a booth where a man said to the boy, "If I write your exact weight on this piece of paper then you have to give me $50, but if I cannot, I will pay you $50."

The boy looked around and saw no scale so he agrees, thinking no matter what the carny writes he'll just say he weighs more or less.

In the end the boy ended up paying the man $50. How did the man win the bet? >>



the man wrote "your exact weight" on the peice of paper.

This thing all things devours:
Birds, beasts, trees, flowers;
Knaws iron, bites steel;
grinds hard stones to meal;
Slays kings, ruins towns,
And beats high mountains down

To all Tolkien fans: SHHH!

Here is an easy one while I look for a harder one.

"At night they come without being fetched,
And by day they are lost without being stolen."

Yup. Here is another:

"I never was, am always to be,
No one ever saw me, nor ever will
And yet I am the confidence of all
To live and breathe on this terrestrial ball."

Oops, didn't bother reading all the posts Try this one instead: "What starts with "e" ends with "e" and contains only one letter?"

edit: fatalbert got it
