Hey, if you like riddles, this is the place to be!

Just to be clear, a riddle isn't any joke you came up with. It has to make you think.

Here is one of my favorites:

What walks on 4 legs in the morning, 2 legs during the day, and 3 legs in the evening?

Hint: the day represents a longer period of time.

Solution: A person does.
A baby crawls on 4 “legs”, a middle aged person walks on 2 legs, and an older person uses a cane, so 3 legs.

This is a popular one from Greek myths.
A sphinx was guarding the city of Thebes. Anyone who wanted access to the city had to answer the riddle. Anyone who guessed was devoured.
Oedipus was the only one to guess the correct answer.

Thanks!

365*100= 36,500 days.
It is possible, because he has lived 36,500 days (technically 36,525 because of leap years…). Someone can go less than 1/3 of their life without sleep, as long as it isn't consecutive days.
Nice on, it took me a while to think to do the math…

this is probably my fave riddle
A woman is sitting in her hotel room when there is a knock at the door. She opened the door to see a man whom she had never seen before. He said “oh I'm sorry, I have made a mistake, I thought this was my room.” He then went down the corridor and in the elevator. The woman went back into her room and phoned security. What made the woman so suspicious of the man?

Probably because she entered the room in the first place.

What is in my pocket?

Some of my favourite riddles :

1) Before Mountain Everest was discovered, what was the highest mountain in the world?
2) What comes once in a minute, twice in a moment, but never in a thousand years?
3) You have three stoves: a gas stove, a wood stove, and a coal stove, but only one match. Which should you light first?
4) What can you add to a wooden box to make it lighter?

BE WARNED, this post has riddle answers!

1) Before Mountain Everest was discovered, what was the highest mountain in the world?

Mount Everest, just because it's not discovered doesn't mean it's not the tallest.

2) What comes once in a minute, twice in a moment, but never in a thousand years?

M

3) You have three stoves: a gas stove, a wood stove, and a coal stove, but only one match. Which should you light first?

I'd turn on my gas stove, and save my match.

Open the refrigerator, put the giraffe in, and close the door.
