I think I have the answer to the cat-in-the-boat question:

None are left, they were all copycats! :D

There are 5 cats in a boat. One jumps out. How many are left?

the answer is 1. 1 is "left" because the rest are "all right."

At first, I looked at that answer, and was like... WTH? That doesn't make any sense. But then... DOH! Damn you and your... Damn you!
 
This is one of the longest threads in CFC history! Keep those riddles comin'! :D


A man joined the Army. But after 3 months of tough training he dropped out. Yet his Sarge was proud. How come?
 
This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it? It looks so plain you would think there was nothing wrong with it! In fact nothing is wrong with it! it is a bit unusual though. Study it, and think about it, but you still might not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out! Try to do so without coaching.

Got this one over the internet.

He dropped out of an airplane, as he was in parachuting school.

PS: any more guesses on my first riddle?
 
He worked in a lighthouse? We did the lighthouse one, didn't we?

While we're at it, I'm still looking for an answer for this one:

That's what I thought at first too, but the word "there" is in there.

Is it something with "it"? That is my only guess and am still working on "it". Let me study "it" and think about "it" some more.

468. Each number is composed of the previous number, two digits at a time being multiplyed together. For example, 9*8=72, 6*8=48, 8*8=64, so 986888 leads to 724864. 1*4=4, 3*2=6, and 2*4=8.

No, he did NOT work in a lighthouse. He was crying because he was VERY sad.
 
Whoo-hoo! [dance] I thought the line should have read "you would think nothing" instead of "you would think there was nothing". No biggie.. . better than that stupid train one! j/k D&G, it's all good!

And yes, Will J, that would be correct. :thumbsup:

On to another one:

How far do you have to travel to reach the North Pole, if you start from the equator and always head North West?
 
Right. . .too easy. Hmm. . . have to find some harder ones. (Can I say that here?)

Hmm. . . .

Edward carefully plotted the murder of his enemy. One winter's day he strangled her in the bedroom, then faked a burglary. He ransacked the house, scattered possessions and broke through the patio doors. He set the burglar alarm downstairs before driving to the local golf course to establish his alibi. Two hours later, when Edward was in the middle of his golf game with three colleagues, the burglar alarm went off and the police were alerted. They found the house apparently broken into and the woman strangled. No animals or electrical devices were found which could have set the alarm off, so it looked as though an intruder had set off the alarm before killing the poor woman. Edward was never arrested or charged. The police inspector long suspected Edward, but there was one question which he could not fathom: How did the suspect get the burglar alarm to go off so conveniently? Can you work it out?
