Here are some riddles for you to consider. Try and work the problems out before looking at the answers below.

  1. A woman from New York married ten different men from that city, yet she did not break any laws. None of these men died, and she never divorced. How was this possible?
  2. What are the next two letters in the following series and why?
    W A T N T L I T F S _ _
  3. The following number is the only one of its kind: 8,549,176,320. Can you figure out what is so special about it?
  4. A murderer is condemned to death. He has to choose between three rooms. The first is full of raging fires, the second is full of assassins with loaded guns, and the third is full of lions that haven't eaten in 3 years. Which room is safest for him?
  5. In Okmulgee, Oklahoma, you cannot take a picture of a man with a wooden leg. Why not?
  6. You are in a place called Jack's world and there is only one law. There is a mirror, but no reflection. There is pizza with cheese, but not sausage. There is pepper, but no salt. There is a door, yet no entrance or exit. What is the law?
