They do indeed hehe

Gonna have to think about your one for a bit.... Pretty sure its got something to do with a greenhouse rather than a green house, but not sure what yet. Hmmm :S

Nope, no greenhouse! Think housing..

Eeeps now I am well off the mark then, I was thinking something growing in a greenhouse... Back to the drawing board.

[836674] Mina0o (INT1) [None] :: March 30, 2015, 12:03 p.m.

I guess the thing I'm after could technically be in a greenhouse. But that's not really a part of the riddle

[836677] RunsWivScissors (GB1) [GB1] :: March 30, 2015, 12:12 p.m.

OK so "housing" as in, the babies are housed in red, housed in white, housed in green?

EDIT: ooh could "technically" be in a greenhouse, so we are talking something growing, I`m thinking fruit or flower seeds now.... i definately didn`t just googled fruits that are red/white/green to guess... Melon? :whistling:

Very close, Scissors! More specifically, the answer is watermelon. If you think about it, it does make sense
(And let's keep the google search to ourselves, eh? )

Who's next? (that's not a riddle...)

A towel
A boy and his father were in a car crash. The father died instantly. When the boy gets to the hospital the surgeon says "I cannot operate on this boy, he is my son." How is this possible?

The surgeon is his mother.

These are brilliant, keep them coming! My young nephew loves riddles, I'm always tormenting him with them

On my way to St. Ives I met a man with seven wives; every wife had seven sacks and every sack held seven cats. How many were going to St. Ives?

Oooh thats an oldie, has more than 1 answer...

1 if the man you met was coming from St.Ives.
2 if the man was also going to St.Ives, but his wives were not with him.
345 if his wives & their cats were all with him.

Take one out, scratch the head; what now is black, once was red.

I think the easiest answer that pops into my mind is 1.. Nothing in the riddle really indicates that anyone but the person telling that story is actually going to ST. Ives!


On to another riddle (since the post before only contained an answer.. )

Two girls were born to the same mother, on the same day, at the same time, in the same month and year and yet they're not twins.
How can this be?

[837927] J-Day (US1) [None] :: April 2, 2015, 5:04 p.m.

They have different fathers. People are like cats, perfectly capable of being pregnant by two males at once.

When can you add two to eleven and get one as an answer?

The answer is that the girls are in fact two out of triplets!
But you's suggestion was very good :thumbup:

When you look at a clock?


Why do Chinese men eat more rice than Japanese men do?

[837963] lthrrr (GB1) [None] :: April 2, 2015, 7:09 p.m.

Because there are more Chinese men than Japanese men?

What kind of room has no windows or doors?

Smaller than four, yet bigger than three, to make it your food, you must add an e. What is it?

A man worked at a high security institution. The man tried to log into his computer and the computer denied the password. He then remembered that the passwords to the computers were reset every month for security reasons. He called his boss for his new password.

The man said, "Boss, my old password is out of date."

The boss said, "Yes, it is. The new password is different, but if you listen closely you will be able to figure out the new one. Your new password has the same amount of letters as the old one, and four of the letters are the same."

The man then logged into his computer with no trouble. What was the new password? What was his old?
