Welcome to the riddle and logic problem conglomeration ;). Post your favorites and see if others can find the answer.
I’ll start the thread off with a few:
1.) A women leaps from a 200 story window and hits the ground below. Instead of falling to her expected death, she instead gets up and walks away. Nothing was there to catch her how did she walk away with no scratches or bruses?
2.) For your birthday, you are given 13 red marbles, 15 blue marbles, and 17 green marbles. Unfortunately, you don’t like these colors so you travel to the nearest merchant. The merchant offers you the following deal: you can give him two marbles of different colors and recieve a two marbles of the third color (for example, you can give him a blue and a red and recieve two greens). Can you have all marbles in the same color just by these exchanges?
3.) A man bet his neighbor $300 dollars that his dog could jump higher than his house. Thinking this was impossible, the neighbor accepted the bet and lost.

This is famous one so please dont post answer right away if someone wants to try solving it. PM me or google if you want to know whether the answer is right
You roll five dice. The computer calculates the score. Your job is to find out what the computer based the score on.
If you roll 5, 4, 6, 3, and 5, the score is 10.
If you roll 1, 3, 3, 4, and 2, the score is 4.
If you roll 1, 6, 2, 6, and 4,the score is 0.
What is the method?

this one is easy, it’s the “petals around the rose”. For 5 and 3, you count the dots surounding the center dot, as petals on a rose. so for the first one, 5, 3 and five are the only roses, with 4 + 2 + 4 petals. on the second it’s 2 + 2 = 4 petals.

3 answers I think may solve this:
The building is located under ground, so that the highest story is on ground level.
The house is built beside a hill, so one of the sides of the house is covered in dirt, alas making 200th floor exitable
A window 200 story tall may be located on the ground, and she won’t have to jump far

because its only a story? and not a 200 storey building?
(i know i know. lame. but i wouldnt have suggested that its a spelling mistake unless you hadnt said that it was a silly answer.)
Was she having a dream? Or maybe she jumped into the building and not out of?
With regards the marbles - no, you will throw them all away because you don’t like the colours and the merchant is only offering to replace your marbles with the same colour set!
Skyrider’s are tough…still working on those. Essi’s makes my head hurt. :scratch: So I’ve got a new one…
A boy was at a carnival and went to a booth where a man said to the boy, “If I write your exact weight on this piece of paper then you have to give me $50, but if I cannot, I will pay you $50.”
The boy looked around and saw no scale so he agrees, thinking no matter what the carny writes he’ll just say he weighs more or less.
In the end the boy ended up paying the man $50. How did the man win the bet?

Maybe she was wearing a parachute
Nop. You would have to, in some point, have the same amount of marbles on 2 colors, and from every combination I have thought of , you can’t.
