Riddles

2. A man was to be sentenced, and the judge told him, "You may make a statement. If it is true, I'll sentence you to four years in prison. If it is false, I'll sentence you to six years in prison." After the man made his statement, the judge decided to let him go free. What did the man say?

3. You have a barrel of oil, and you need to measure out just one gallon. How do you do this if you only have a three-gallon container and a five-gallon container?

4. If your sock drawer has 6 black socks, 4 brown socks, 8 white socks, and 2 tan socks, how many socks would you have to pull out in the dark to be sure you had a matching pair?

5. What is broken every time it's spoken?

6. How did Mark legally marry three women in Michigan, without divorcing any of them, becoming legally separated, or any of them dying?

7. Mom and Dad have four daughters, and each daughter has one brother. How many people are in the family?

the answer to number 3 is first you fill up the 3 gallon container then you empty the 3 gallons into the 5 gallon container so you're left with space for 2 gallons in the 5 gallon container. Then you fill up the 3 gallon container again and pour enough into the 5 gallon container which only need 2 gallons and 2 gallons out of three leaves you with only 1 gallon in the 3 gallon container!



the answer to number 7 is 7 people in the family!
