2) What belongs to you but others use it more?

3) No sooner spoken than broken, what is it?

4) What runs but never walks, has a mouth but never talks, has a bed but never sleeps?

5) The more you take the more you leave behind, what are they?

6) What two words, when put togetherm have the most letters?

7) Gary is standing between Bill and Tom, Peter is standing on Toms right, where is tom standing?

8. What is put on a tablet, cut, but never eaten?

9) Ten cars are driving along in a queue. The first car stops suddenly and they all bump into each other. how many bumpers are damaged?

10) If there are 117 players in the men's singles at wimbledon this year, how many matches will be played before we have a champion?

11) A Man has to get a dog, a chicken and a sack of corn across a river. He has a row boat but it can only carry him and one thing at a time. If the dog and the chicken are left together, the dog will eat the chicken and if the chicken and the corn are left together, the chicken will eat the corn.
How does the man do it?

1 - M
2 - One's name
3 - Silence
4 - A river
5 - Footsteps
6 - No freaking clue
7 - Tom is standing on Gary's right?
8 - No idea what a tablet is -.-
9 - Every car but the first in the queue (if bump is what I think it is)
10 - What..? (Make the questions more ambiguous..)


11 -
*The man carries the chick first
*He then returns alone to take the dog
*He leaves dog but returns with chick
*Leaves the chick and takes the corn with him
*Leaves corn with fox and returns alone
*Takes the chick to the other side


The last one got me thinking fo about half an hour, made me smoke 5 ciggies and hit my desk a few times. I had to check with my father and with a friend to see if it was correct.. I'm not much of a logical riddles person, I've solved some of them in the past though
