That was my other answer.

Heh. VD: If you ask a man what village he lives in, he'll answer what village, but it won't let you know which one to go to. IF you ask him to point to it, if he's a liar, he'll point to the VOT, and if he's telling the truth, he'll also point to the VOT. That's what you were getting at, right?

Also: I have no riddles at the moment.

[Mnesymone]

There must be thousands of riddles but we seem to be unable to think of new ones/remember old ones right now.

Curses, the only ones I can think of now are the ones about bats and they're as obvious as a traffic warden.

Here's a few new and good 'uns

A professor walks into his philosophy classroom for the final exam. There are 30 students there. He puts his chair up on the desk and writes on the board "Prove to me that this chair does not exist". One student passes the exam when the papers are taken in.

What does the student turn in on his paper?

----------

A man lives on the twelfth floor of an apartment building. Every morning he takes the elevator down to the lobby and leaves the building. In the evening, he gets into the elevator, and, if there is someone else in the elevator, or if it was raining that day, he goes back to his floor directly. However, if there is nobody else in the elevator and it hasn't rained that day, he goes to the tenth floor and walks up two flights of stairs to his room. Why?

Whoever makes it, tells it not.
Whoever takes it, knows it not.
And whoever knows it wants it not.
What is it?

The second ones kinda easy - he's too short to reach the button marked "12". Not sure how rain fits into it.

And the first one might be "This chair does not exist, therefore I can't sit down and write the exam, therefore this is blank". But I know that's wrong for a start.

[Girdag Fireskull]

OK. The rain fits into it because then he can hit the button with his umbrella. As for the first one......not quite there.

I'm stumped for now. Good ones, fireskull.

[Slade]

A reference to Descartes' Meditations on Philosophy would do it.

Alternatively, you could turn in a blank paper, since if the chair doesn't exist, you can't rightly answer a question about it, eh? (I don't mean to steal your tunder, Chyldio of mine.)

Floppydisk: Too much calculus for me. It's been too long.

What chair?

[Girdag Fireskull]

Correct! Well done Jane!

[SimeSublime]

Calculus, weren't those Maxwells Equations from Electromagnetism? Or possibly not. I hate electromagnetism.

A fart?

[Girdag Fireskull]

How do you 'take' a fart? Still, you got 2 of em so far, and the third is the hardest.

[Jane Sherwood]

Correct!  Well done Jane!

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Holy crap, that was just a wild guess!

As for the third one, I'm guessing the smell?

[BiggSpiffy]

Cathy has six pairs of black gloves and six pairs of brown gloves in her drawer. In complete darkness, how many gloves must she take from the drawer in order to be sure to get a pair that match? Think carefully!!

(im really not good ant making these...i got this one from a book )
