Well, that one's too easy when you can go back and look at it again.
A dog had 3 puppies, named Mopsy, Topsy and Spot. What was the mother's name.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-21T00:11:44-05:00
I always got in trouble with teachers in school over those sorts of math questions, especially the railroad ones. Folks don't generally know that all trains have specific rights over others based on direction traveled.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-21T00:12:10-05:00
Also, trains going uphill generally get preference over downhill trains when the meet.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-21T00:12:18-05:00

There are two coins which total 55 cents (read: $0.55). One of them is not a nickel. What are the two coins?
Experiencing Life to the Fullest-Da Wolf 2015-02-21T00:18:26-05:00
Nickel and Half dollar.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-02-21T00:19:30-05:00
dang you! Oh well, it gets most people. Plus, it should be half dollar and a nickel, not the other way around to be uber-correct.

Ah, here's an impossible one so I can take a quick break for a sec. I severely doubt anyone will get this.
Alice causes an airplane to plummet to the earth and in turn causes several deaths, yet it was an accident and nobody blamed her. How can this be true?
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-02-21T00:26:29-05:00
Not even a guess?
Peter 'General Calculus' W. 2015-02-21T00:26:57-05:00
Alice is acarrier pidgeon (or any other named bird), but most likely a hurricane.
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-21T00:27:27-05:00
Zem, you want a tough one? Try this: The gate opened, the man died.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-21T00:28:04-05:00
High up, high up the tree;
The man's name was Fred.
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-21T00:29:05-05:00
Great Cane, is that a guess or a different riddle?
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-21T00:29:23-05:00
Gate opened, man died ... hmmm, that would be ex-Governor of Idaho Frank Steunenberg in 1905.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-21T00:30:17-05:00
The tree one was an existential joke from the 1970's that I recalled.
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-21T00:30:33-05:00
That's a good guess, but no
Peter 'General Calculus' W. 2015-02-21T00:32:55-05:00
While it is quiet... any interest in specific kinds of grqphs or data to extract from the domment data?
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-21T00:33:14-05:00
I've got no clue then, too foggy headed to think, really.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-21T00:33:58-05:00
Graphs? Hmm ... can your scrapes do information at specific times in the past?
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-02-21T00:34:19-05:00
Actually the bird has to be a lot bigger than a carrier pidgeon, more like a falcon or eagle. I like the hurricane answer, too.
There are ten people in a house. Everybody wants to make a hand shake with only people shorter than themselves. Assume everybody is different in height. How many hand shakes are made?...
Peter 'General Calculus' W. 2015-02-21T00:34:28-05:00
@GCoD, yes.

Zem - none.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-02-21T00:41:00-05:00
I'll take comfort in the fact that it took 5 minutes for someone to find that one
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-02-21T00:41:31-05:00
Also, looking them up is cheating. Not accusing, just think that's rude.
Peter 'General Calculus' W. 2015-02-21T00:42:18-05:00
So: 9 + 8 +7 + 6 +5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 45

Well that was no fun. You got that one before I could even say the answer to the other one!

Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-02-21T00:56:01-05:00
I've heard a variant on the albatross one where he kills himself because he was shipwrecked and killed himself because a shipmate gave him "albatross" which was really his dead wife and he found out and killed himself when he got back to civilization and had albatross and it tasted different and he realized it. But since your guy smiles, that might not be it... Macabre I know.
Peter 'General Calculus' W. 2015-02-21T00:56:08-05:00

My last one was Pressure. Somewhat misleading, I know. Not as good as the Hobbit time riddle, my favorite ever.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-02-21T00:57:11-05:00

Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-02-21T00:58:47-05:00
Oh yeah, @LZ, the man was in a lifeboat with his wife who
died. He hallucinated an albatross landing in the boat which he caught and
killed and ate; he thought that his wife had been washed overboard. When he
actually eats albatross, he discovers that he had actually eaten his wife. Still macabre, but another answer. That one has so many I probably still didn't get it.
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-21T00:59:59-05:00
In mine, the guy was shipwrecked. The crew was able to catch an albatross, but it wasn't enough to feed everyone. They had one guy butcher the albatross and someone who didn't survive, they had another cook all the meat over a fire, and a third serve it to everyone so no one would know who got bird and who got human. The guy smiled because he recognized the flavor in his albatross sandwich.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-21T01:02:16-05:00
How does pressure turn polar bears white? Or am I mixing up answers?
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-02-21T01:02:38-05:00
Here's a great, albeit long one.
A man lives on the twelfth floor of an apartment building. Every
morning he takes the elevator down to the lobby and leaves the building. In
the evening, he gets into the elevator, and, if there is someone else in the
elevator or if it was raining that day he goes back to his floor
directly. However, if there is nobody else in the elevator and it hasn't
rained, he goes to the tenth floor and walks up two flights of stairs to his
room. Why?
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-21T01:03:35-05:00
He's too short to reach his floor's button without his umbrella.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-02-21T01:04:32-05:00
