What is greater than God, More Evil than the Devil. Poor people have it, Rich people want it. If you eat it you will surely die. Now can you guess, what am I?
The following number is the only one of its kind. '8,549,176,320' Can you figure out what is so special about it?
A farmer and his hired help were carrying grain to the barn. The farmer carried one sack of grain and the hired help carried two sacks. Who carried the heavier load and why?
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?
George, Helen, and Steve are drinking coffee.
Bert, Karen, and Dave are drinking soda.
Using logic, is Elizabeth drinking coffee or soda?

1) nothing
2) it contains every single-digit positive integer
3)the farmer's load was heavier bc he carried grain, while the others only carried sacks
4)he wrote "your exact weight"
5)elizabeth's drinking coffee (each coffee drinker has 2 e's in his or her name)
these are great classics, lol. any more?
Blessed Be

Answers:
1. Nothing
2. the first letter of these numbers follow the sequence of the alphabet
3. the farmer carried the heavier load since the hired help carried only 2 sacks
4. there might be a hidden scale under the floor the boy was standing on.
5. Elizabeth is drinking coffee. The letter E appears twice in her name, as it does in the names of the others who are drinking coffee
Whew!! that was much of a riddle.. =P
