einonymous' Riddle: A man was pushed out of an airplane, without a parachute. How was he able to survive?
Correct Answer by meeplePeepol: The plane wasn't flying, so it was only a short fall.
meeplePeepol's Riddle: A pet shop owner had a parrot with a sign on its cage that said "Parrot repeats everything it hears." A young man bought the parrot and for two weeks he spoke to it but it didn't say a word. He tried to return the parrot but the shopkeeper said he never lied. How can this be?

Annihilated's Riddle: There is a bomb on a bridge. It will go off in 17 seconds. There are four people on one side of the bridge. It is night time and they only have one flashlight. They need to cross to the other side of the bridge for safety. However, only two people can cross at one time while carrying the flashlight. Every time two people cross, one has to go back with the flashlight and two more can cross and so on until all of them are on the other side before the bomb explodes. One person takes 1 second every time he crosses the bridge once. The second person takes 2 seconds, another takes 5 seconds, and the last person takes 10 seconds to cross. In what order did they have to cross the bridge to survive before the bridge explodes in 17 seconds?
Correct Answer by KramAge:
1 and 2 seconds cross. (+2 seconds)(2 seconds)
1 second goes back. (+1 second)(3 seconds)
10 and 5 seconds cross. (+10 seconds)(13 seconds)
2 seconds goes back. (+2 seconds)(15 seconds)
1 and 2 seconds cross. (+2 seconds)(17 seconds)
All safe.
