Fun Mathy Type Riddles
#11
RE: Fun Mathy Type Riddles
Okay I won't get too off topic. I will just post my two favorite. (mind you they aren't very difficult because I was little when I learned them but y'alls kids might enjoy them)

A white house is made out of white bricks. A blue house is made out of blue bricks. A yellow house is made out of yellow bricks. A red house is made out of red bricks. What is a green house made of?

A plane is flying from New York to Ontario. It ends up crashing on the border of the US and Canada. I mean smack dab in the middle of the border, no more in America than it is in Canada. Knowing this which country do you bury the survivors in?

RE: Fun Mathy Type Riddles
My favorite as a child was this (it confused the heck outta me back then):

Three people check into a hotel room. The clerk says the bill is $30, so each guest pays $10. Later the clerk realizes the bill should only be $25. To rectify this, he gives the bellhop $5 to return to the guests. On the way to the room, the bellhop realizes that he cannot divide the money equally. As the guests didn't know the total of the revised bill, the bellhop decides to just give each guest $1 and keep $2 as a tip for himself. Each guest got $1 back, so now each guest only paid $9, bringing the total paid to $27. The bellhop has $2. And $27 + $2 = $29 so, if the guests originally handed over $30, what happened to the remaining $1?

RE: Fun Mathy Type Riddles
Also as the one telling the second riddle you say it fast enough so they don't catch the key word. lol same thing with my bus riddle. Oh hell I will tell it so that you can try it on any little monsters you talk to.

Okay this is a math riddle so pay attention to the numbers I'm giving you because you will need to do a bit of math for the last question. You are driving a bus and on the first stop five people get on. Second stop 3 people get on but one gets off. Third stop 5 people get on and 4 people get off. Fourth stop 3 people get on and no one gets off. The fifth stop is the last one and everyone gets off *cue confused look as they finish tallying up the fourth stops' number* What was the name of the bus driver? (You didn't say anything about a bus driver. Yes I did, you weren't listening. I was too I did all the math! etc... lol)

In a lake, there is a patch of lily pads. Every day, the patch doubles in size. If it takes 48 days for the patch to cover the entire lake, how long would it take for the patch to cover half of the lake?

Put your answers in hide tags so you don't ruin it for someone else





Here is one: how much dirt is there in a hole 3 feet by 4 feet and 5 feet deep?

Also how many 3¢ stamps are in a dozen?
