Riddles Riddles Riddles

I love riddles have you got any good ones? heres one of my favourites.

Three men go to buy a tv with £10 each they buy a tv for £30, so they take the tv and are stood across the road at the bus stop waiting to go home. The manager of the shop comes back and asks his assistant where the tv has gone he is told that hes just sold it to three men across the road for £30. The manager tells his assistant that the tv had a discount of £5 and was only £25 and tells him to take 5 £1 coins and go and give it them back. On the way the assistant pockets £2 for himself and tells them it was £27 so now the men have all spent £9 3x9=27 plus the £2 in his pocket is 29 where has the other pound gone???

Scam price of TV = £27

Each person paid 3 x £9 = £27

The £2 pocketed by the salesman is an excess of the true sale price (£25) rather than being related to the over charging at £30.

The overcharging of £5 comprises the 3 x £1 (which was reimbursed to the customers) + £2 (pocketed by the salesman).

So there is no missing £1

My all-time favorite riddle is the riddle of the Sphinx:

"What goes on four legs in the morning, on two legs at noon, and on three legs in the evening?"

Answer: Man. As an infant, man crawls on all fours. As an adult, man walks on two legs. As an old person, man uses a can as a third leg.

Great riddle. nod

Take the cat to the other island. Return alone.
Take the dog to the other island. Return with the cat.
Take the mouse to the other island. Return alone.
Take the cat to the other island.

I hope The Riddler is in the next Batman film. If so, make him less candid. GAWD, I hated that about Batman Forever when Jim Carrey played that part. Pretty good, for what it was. But I wanted more.

A guy lives in the top floorof an apartment building. Every morning he takes the elevator down to the lobby and leaves the building. When he comes home , he can only travel halfway up in the elevator and has to walk the rest of the way(unless it's raining) How can this be?
In spite of the cost of living, it's still popular.

I just don't understand why this short guy doesn't bring his umbrella each time he goes out so that he can hit the top button in the elevador bank.

No, the person that died was a man - the brother. The beggar was his sister.
