You enter a room and see:

 

• A table
• Three chairs around the table
• One chair knocked to the floor
• One dead body
• 53 bicycles on the table

 

Explain what happened.

I know that one. Someone had an extra 'bicycle' and was killed for cheating...

I can't believe how smart that turtle is. Unlike most turtles I imagine he can cross a road by himself!

Not only is he smarter than the average turtle, he is also faster than the average turtle.

I didn't want to give the full explanation just in case someone else wants to elaborate. .

When I first heard it I didn't know what a "bicycle" was.

"Bicycle" is a brand of playing cards. In the scenario above, there where 53 cards on the table, and a standard deck has 52, so someone was cheating and got caught.

That is an old one - I have told it many times - yes, they shoot card cheats (well, they used to)

 

Try this one:

 

A man lives on the 75th floor of a high-rise. Every morning when he goes out he rides the elevator to the ground floor. When he comes back home he rides the elevator to the 65th floor and walks the rest of the way up - WHY?

Do you want the short answer?

Too short to reach the 75 button?

I changed the working on the "Brothers and Sisters" riddle and asked it to my homeschoolers. They tried t google it and couldn't. One of them eventually found the answer on his own.

 

I'm not sure what the original subject of  this thread should have been, (time pass?), but I haven't been kicked off yet for being off topic.  In my defense, time has passed since the thread started.

A second possible answer:  Maybe the elevator only goes to the 65th floor.  The riddle never actually said that he gets on the elevator on the 75th floor.  He might walk down to the 65th floor in the morning and then ride down to the ground floor..

I see.

[Qapla]

The expression "he goes out he rides the elevator" would indicate that the elevator came to the 75th floor.

 

Sylvie and Richard are on the right track - he his "height challenged" and the button for the 65th floor is as high as he can reach

Here is an old riddle.

 

The wind blew,

The glass broke,

Mary died.

 

What happened?

Who was Mary?

[kejedo]

OK. I'll bite, but only after I have seen some guesses.

The answer is a little fishy but it's a fun riddle.
