The Daily Riddle Thread

Here’s one of my favorites because although we use it as the expression for an unsolvable question it is actually very easily solved. (Hint: Think laterally.)

What came first the chicken or the egg?

What is the answer?

Did you know that in California you can’t take a picture of a man with a wooden leg? Why not?

Because you need to use a camera!

Hehe, yup!

If you want a scientifically accurate answer… here is it:

The egg came first, laid by a bird that was not a chicken.

because it's in a museum and they have guards

The egg.

Dinosaurs laid eggs. ;)

The rooster ...

There are two planes. One is going from New York to London at a speed of 600 MPH. The other is traveling from London to New York at a speed of 500 MPH.

When the planes meet which one will be closer to London?

That's a tricky one.

When the planes meet, they will be at the same place, so they will both be the same distance to London.

EDIT: I hope the planes are represented by sprites, and we only have a sprite collision to deal with. :evil:

LOL!

Well that depends if they were both going to the same airport. London has three and all are different distances……… :stuck_out_tongue: But we’ll assume that if they ever do meet they are at the same airport…………………somewhere :bigsmile:

The one coming from London will be approx. 683 feet closer to London . Because meeting would be considered the two planes meeting nose to nose whereas the plane from londons tail is the length of the plane closer than the one heading from New York .

Nice! 8)

Smart aleck! :wink:

It’s hard to give up. Remove part of it and you still have a bit. Remove another part, but bit is still there. Remove another and it remains. What is it?

A LED dome?

:bigsmile:
Keep guessing…

habit

literally “a bit” if you remove the “h”

yep, “bit” is there when you remove the “a”

remove the “b” and “it” remains

Yes, the word “habit”.

Yep!
