How many of you enjoy riddles? I am a big fan of them myself and so I thought, for the fun of it, this might be a good venue to start sharing some favorites. So here is the challenge, either submit a riddle that you feel cannot be answered, or try and answer a riddle that has been posted by someone else in this discussion. I would love to see how many unique and challenging riddles you can come up with. I will start by putting three relatively easy ones out there for you to ponder:
1.) An airplane is flying along the border of Canada and the United States when it crahses along the border between the two countries. Where do you bury the survivors?
2.) How many days and how many animals did Moses take on the ark?
3.) You are driving a bus. At the first stop you pick up 3 kids. At the second stop you drop off 1 kid but pick up 5 more. At the third stop you pick up 3 more, drop off 4 and then 1 gets back on because he made a mistake. At the fourth stop, you drop off 2 kids and pick up 1 kid. How old is the driver?
Give these a shot...they should be overly simple for most anyone, but it's just to get the ball rolling. I promise you I will be back with some much better riddles once I get an idea of how many people are willing to play along with this little riddle discussion. Good luck and give us your best effort!

You got them.
Okay, for those that have started down this path with me, I will share a few more for you to consider:
1.) We're five little items of an everyday sort. You'll find us all in "A Tennis Court."
2.)You are in a house where all the windows are facing south. Where are you?
3.) I have two hands now see my face? You won't find 13 anyplace! What am I?
Let's see how you do with these and I will be back with more soon!
