I enjoyed the Daily Joke Thread tremendously (still do), But I know a lot more riddles than jokes. So yeah. Here we go: (and Google is off limits!)
A man is selling oranges on a street corner. His first customer buys half his supply plus half an orange. The next person buys half his remaining supply plus half an orange. The next one also buys half the remaining supply plus half an orange. Finally a fourth person buys half the remaining supply plus half an orange. At this point, the vendor has no oranges left. How many did he start with?
Should I start a separate thread for the answers or what? I don’t want to give them away here, because that would spoil the fun for those who might come late to the game!
Okay, here’s another one:
The one who makes it doesn’t want it, the one who buys it doesn’t use it, and the one who uses it doesn’t know it. What is it?
