    What is greater than God, more evil than the Devil, the rich need need it, the poor have it, and if you eat it you will die? What is it?

    When asked 80% of kindergardeners knew the correct answer, yet only 17% of Stanford University graduates were able to answer correctly

    I know! I know!!!

    (But I had to ask the person who sent this to me for the answer, LOLOLOLOL!!!!!)

    And I'm not gonna tell, because it would spoil your thread too quickly, Karla!

    Did I spoil the fun? Sorry. Here's a couple for you:

    Take 6 matches like this:

    I I I I I I
    I I I I I I
    I I I I I I
    I I I I I I
    I I I I I I

    And add 5 more matches to make 9. But you cannot move or take away the original 6 matches.
    [note: the matches don't look correct and editing won't hwlp....put put some space between the matches...they're placed vertically.]

    Second riddle:
    Last friday night you went to a party, got drunk. You woke up the next morning and found yourself in a log cabing with no windows and no doors and the cabin also had a solid concrete floor. How did you get out?

    My puzzle is better than your puzzle!

    The Pope

    Student Bill Jones was visitng his Maths Professor at the professors home.

    'I hear some youngsters playing in the garden,' said Jones, a graduate

    student in mathematics. 'Are they all yours?'

    'Heavens, no,' exclaimed Professor Smith, an eminent number theorist.

    'My children are playing with friends from three other families in the

    neighbourhood, although our family happens to be the largest. The

    Browns have a smaller number of children, the Greens have a still

    smaller number, and the Blacks the smallest of all.'

    'How many children are there altogether?' asked Jones.

    'Let me put it this way,' said Professor Smith.

    'There are fewer than 18 children, and the product of the numbers in the four families

    happens to be my house number which you saw when you arrived.'

    Jones took a notebook and pencil from his pocket and started scribbling. A moment later he looked up

    and said, 'I need more information. Is there more than one child in the Black family?'

    As soon as Smith replied, Jones smiled and correctly stated the number of children in each family.

    How many children in each family?

    Same way I got in, climb over the walls. No roof.
