Well, if I take one cup of sugar away, how many do I have? |
|
|
2 cups of sugar, cause you take the other cup away get another cup and pour 1/2 of one cup of sugar and then you got 2 cups of sugar? |

People, read the comment at the top of the 2nd page:
It says:

There! Happy now? |

The answer isn't two cups, yodo had the correct answer of one cup of sugar. If I have three cups of sugar in a row, then I take one away, there is two cups remaining in the row. However, the riddle asks specifically, how many I have. As I have took away one, I have one. Meaning the answer is one.
Here is the next one:

A towel is correct.
The next one is not such as a riddle, but a question of concentration. Here, I have a paragraph, if you can spot what is wrong with it, you're very clever. Here it is:
"This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it. It looks so plain you would think nothing was wrong with it. In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is unusual though. Study it, and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out! Try to do so without any coaching! You probably won't, at first, find anything particularly odd or unusual or in any way dissimilar to any ordinary composition. That is not at all surprising, for it is no strain to accomplish in so short a paragraph a stunt similar to that which an author did throughout all of his book, without spoiling a good writing job, and it was no small book at that. By studying this paragraph assiduously, you will shortly, I trust, know what is its distinguishing oddity. Upon locating that "mark of distinction," you will probably doubt my story of this author and his book of similar unusuality throughout. It is commonly known among book-conscious folk and proof of it is still around."

Yes. Even though the letter "e" is the most common letter in the English language, it doesn't appear once in this paragraph. This is certainly a very unusual paragraph for anyone that is English as the letter 'e' is not pronounced or written once. A man named Ernest Vincent Wright, wrote a book consisting of 50,000 words, and the letter 'e' did not appear once in the whole novel. The name of that novel is "Gadsby: Champion of Youth."
Here is the next one:
"What is it that is deaf, dumb and blind and always tells the truth?" |
