Need some riddles as we are having a quiz thing and this is one of the topics we need. I need about 6 with the answer.

Hmmm... those are no so much "riddles" as "ste Christmas cracker jokes" are they?

What are you wanting basic ones like

"What was the president's name in 1982" Which I suppose is more a brain teaser George W Bush

Or

A dozen men are in a boat on a lake, the boat capsizes and sinks. The men sink in the lake, yet not a single man gets wet, why" All married

or here, this one I robbed.

A voice said to you "Coconuts, $5 a dozen" With your lightning quick arithmatic you calculated that if you sold those same coconuts to the coconut air assault team for the going rate of $3 per dozen that in no time at all you would be a millionare. When I met you 15 seconds ago you told me the words you've just read. I ain't trying to be nosy but now that you've drug me this far, explain your math or quite lyin' and tell me your TRUE financial status!

You're a Billionaire.

I have one which I don't know the answer to yet! If you can help, you can have it:

You are walking through the woods looking for the town and you come to a fork in the road. There are two people at the junction - all you know is that one is a liar, the other tells the truth.

What question do you ask to ensure you are sent down the correct fork to ge to the town?


Also - what has four legs and ticks?

And - I have two coins in my hand. They total 12p and one of them is not a 10p coin - how?

1x 2p

1x 10p

One isn't a 10p coin, but the other is.

Go me.

Yup, nicely done.

Anyone got any ideas on the forked road one yet?

Got another:

Tom and Jane are arguing and fighting. Their mother is so fed up she decides to punish them both by making them stand on the same piece of newspaper in such a way they couldn't touch each other. How?

If I asked your friend "is this the way to death and destruction" would he agree?.

Dog.

10 cents in your hand, damn other one is 10p. Forgot that one

You ask one of the people what the other would say when asked which is the right fork to take, and then pick the opposite of whatever they say.
