Unfortunately, Discedo, I seem to have very little to offer regarding pleasant conversation topics, so have another riddle or two, instead~

1 | Two fathers and two sons sat down to eat eggs for breakfast. They ate exactly three eggs, each person had an egg. How is this possible?

2 | Three lawyers rent a hotel room for the night. When they get

More riddles? I guess people around here really like them, huh...I only can get a few of them, though.

1. This is an old one. It's a son, a father, and a grandfather, right?

3. If you take three, then you've got three!

4. One. Then it's not empty anymore.

8. ...a person's age.

I can't figure out any of the others...they all sound like math problems. That's too hard.

They're a good way to pass the time, wouldn't you agree?

Your answers are correct. Perhaps you'll get more of them if I hint that not all of them are math, and merely deceive you into believing that they are.

[locked] Last time you did a riddle I was so mad. I got it but my characters weren't smart enough 8|

[latteheart]

They're fun! And some people can come up with really clever ones.

Aha, trick questions? That's sneaky. Hmm... [brb thinking them over again]

5. Ah, then, is this the same as number four? You can only take 6 from 30 once, because after that it's not 30 anymore?

6. This one's pretty easy when you think about it again. It's the letter "e", right?

10. Are you sure this isn't math? Haa, how are we supposed to know what he weighs just from that? I guess he'd have to be pretty big to be a butcher, but...

...oh! Oh, I get it now! A butcher weighs meat!

[locked] Fff, thus why there are more this time~

[holyjesusbeams]

Correct in all cases. Riddles, quite often, focus on one's ability to form logical reasoning, rather than exercise pure 'book smart' skill.

[latteheart]

Oh cool, I got them! I still can't understand the others though. But yeah, I see what you mean. As long as you don't overthink them, you can usually figure them out pretty easily...

Of course, some of them are just unfair. Lots of people don't use U.S. currency, you know!

Consider it an extra challenge for those that do. No one is being graded on this material.

Would you like the translated version of the riddle, if you aren't familiar?

[locked]

[latteheart]

Mm, sure! I'd like to give it a shot, anyway.

"A dollar is a paper bill representing 100 cents, and 'change' refers to coins that represent 1, 5, 10, and 25 cents. In other words, what is the highest sum one can make from values of 1, 5, 10, and 25 without the sum of any combination within making an even 100."

[latteheart]

Ooh, so this one really is a math problem.

[There's gonna be a looong break in her response here because she's determined to figure it out now. Probably writing it down and scribbling out answers and everything.]

99...no...119! Three 25s, four 10s, and four 1s. Right?

[locked]

[holyjesusbeams]

Correct! Nicely done~

[locked]

[latteheart]

Yay! I thought I'd never figure it out...

These were really fun! Will you be telling more riddles, if you think of any?

[locked]

[holyjesusbeams]

I'm running a bit low, at the moment, but should I think of more I most likely will. An unfortunately high number of people got these too easily, so I'll be focusing on a more difficult set.

[locked]

[latteheart]

Mm, please do! Hehe...don't make them too hard though, or no one will get them. And that won't be fun at all. I probably won't get any, these ones were hard enough.

[locked]

[holyjesusbeams]

[A thoughtful pause.] Perhaps I'll do two sets, then.

[locked]

[latteheart]

A difficult one, and another for the not-so smart people, huh?

[locked]

[holyjesusbeams]

You phrase it so negatively! But that's the general idea, yes.
