Re: Riddle me this
13112321?
(and whats with the character limit that made me type this question?)
I'll just go ahead and post this:
Some will use me, while others will not,
some have remembered, while others have forgot.
For profit or gain, I'm used expertly,
I can't be picked off the ground or tossed into the sea.
Only gained from patience and time, can you unravel my rhyme?

I doubt it, the 33 makes no sense.. the sequence should be
1
11
21
1211
111221
312211
13112221
1113213211
31131211131221
13211311123113112211
How would you explain the jump from 111221 to 313311 ?

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 nothing was wrong with it! In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is unusual though. Study it, and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out! Try to do so without any coaching!

If it takes two men two days to dig a hole, how long does it take one man to dig half a hole?

1. There is no such thing as half a hole?
2. 4 days, as he'd have to dig a hole first then insert something in the middle to make two halves of the one whole hole

A towel.

And at last it has three legs
and it's at it's weakest when it has most legs. What is it?

That was the original Riddle of the Sphinx, unanswered until Oedipus figured it out.

My brothers and sisters they number not one, yet that boy's father is my own fathers son.
Who is that boy?

Answer 1
Answer 2 is just trying to be clever and failing.
Your turn to set one.

An oldie but a goodie:
You stand in a room with two exits, one leads to everlasting happiness, the other to eternal damnation. You do not know which is which.
In front of each door is a guardian. Both of them knows where their doors lead. One of the guardians always speaks the truth, the other guardian always lies. You do not know which is which.
You may ask ONE question of ONE of the guardians to determine which door you should open.
What will that question be?

I thought the answer was "would you go into the room"

Damn! Never thought of that one, it works as well.
The answer I knew was:
"If I ask the other guy which door leads to eternal happiness, what will he say?"
Both will point towards the evil door, you take the opposite one.
Cool, so now there are two answers to this one.
