What are some riddles that fascinate you?

 

One of my favorite riddles is the following:

 

Quickly count the number of times the letter F appears in this sentence

 

“Finished files are the result of years of scientific study combined with the experience of years.”

 

 

How many did you find? Believe it or not, there are 6 F's in the sentence. Try reading it again :)

 

We often don’t correctly process the word “OF” for two reasons. First, the letter F usually makes the “f” sound, like in “fox”. However, in the word “of”, it makes a “v” sound. Second, you have probably read the word “of” so many times in your life that you process it as one unit, overlooking the second letter/ sound. (from http://sharpbrains.com/blog/2006/09/10/brain-exercise-brain-teaser/)

 

 

PS if you post a riddle here, make sure you also include the answer in your post, inside a spoiler if needed

I am the beginning of the end, the end of every place. I am the beginning of eternity, the end of time and space. You will see me twice in a week, but only once in a year. You will not find me in this galaxy, but I am deep in the middle of the sea.

 

What am I?  ;)

What starts with N and ends with N. It is widely known to scientists, and is seen almost everyday. Its favorite number starts with 1 and ends with 0. It likes to be in the group with the beginning of the numbers + the number 8.

 

What is it?

More evil than the most evil villain,

Poor people have it,

Rich people want it,

If you eat it you will die?

A couple had gone to another country as tourists.

While driving, their car broke down on the highway. (Highway x)

So the husband decided that he should go find a petrol pump and get some help.

He told his wife, that, to pass the time, she could listen to the radio or read a novel that they had in their car.

 

So, the husband was off to find the petrol pump, and the wife was listening to the radio.

While listening, she heard an announcement stating: "There's a killer on the loose wearing all white. Possibly roaming on Highway x."

 

She gets scared, and she locks all the doors and closes all the windows, and keeps the keys in her pocket.

 

After some time, the husband returns to see that his wife has been murdered; and that too by the "White Killer".

 

There was no sign of forced entry; no

broken windows/windshield, no dented doors etc.

 

How did the killer do it?

(Note: the woman was inside the car throughout this time)

My first is often at the front door.

My second is found in the cereal family.

My third is what most people want.

My whole is one of the united states.

A man is pushing his car along, and when he comes to a hotel, he shouts, "I'm bankrupt!" Why?

 

 

If you found the answer, you are right. If not, try a bit harder, you will find it, trust me.

Don't continue any further. Keep trying and you will find the answer.

Ok, I have wasted enough of your time.

He is playing Monopoly. :D
