[DuplicateValue]

A man is found dead in the woods surrounded by fifty three bicycles. Why was he killed?

Quote me with your answer and I'll tell you if you are right.

He was a joker?

That might be horribly wrong, but i'm going on the fact that bicycle has something to do with a brand of playing cards.

A man jumps off a building in an attempt to commit suicide. When he lands an ambulance takes him to a hospital where he is eventually released and not sent to prison. If he had jumped on any other day,however, he would have been arrested after recovering. Why?

Spoiler: this one's easy

the building was on fire that day.

An eccentric queen places a diamond inside a metal box and tells her kingdom that whomever can remove the diamond from inside the box, without using any tools, can keep that diamond and half the royal treasures. Many tried but none succeeded. One day a young girl comes to the queen and asks to try, but she demanded to try for as long as she wanted. Granted this wish, she went every day to try and after a very long time managed to extract the diamond and the queen gives her all she promised. How did the young girl manage this?

Spoiler: this one i'm not so sure of

shaking the box. the diamond is harder than the metal and will slowly scratch away the metal. depending on the metal you could also try spitting/peeing on it in the hopes it will corrode.

anybody heard of einsteins riddle. apparently about 2% of people can get it, i couldnt.

There are no tricks, just pure logic, so good luck and don't give up.

1. In a street there are five houses, painted five different colours.
2. In each house lives a person of different nationality
3. These five homeowners each drink a different kind of beverage, smoke different brand of cigar and keep a different pet.

HINTS

1. The Brit lives in a red house.
2. The Swede keeps dogs as pets.
3. The Dane drinks tea.
4. The Green house is next to, and on the left of the White house.
5. The owner of the Green house drinks coffee.
6. The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds.
7. The owner of the Yellow house smokes Dunhill.
8. The man living in the centre house drinks milk.
9. The Norwegian lives in the first house.
10. The man who smokes Blends lives next to the one who keeps cats.
11. The man who keeps horses lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill.
12. The man who smokes Blue Master drinks beer.
13. The German smokes Prince.
14. The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
15. The man who smokes Blends has a neighbour who drinks water.

THE QUESTION: WHO OWNS THE FISH?

I got it!!!

Spoiler

It's the German in the green house.

Took me a while though
good 1

Yeah, this one took me friggin' ages too. This was my solution:

Spoiler

|Norwegian...|Dane......|British.....|German...|Swede..........| nationality
|Yellow...........|Blue.......|Red..........|Green......|White.............| colour
|Water............|Tea.........|milk..........|Coffee.....|Beer...............| drink
|Dunhill..........|Blends..|Pall Mall...|Prince.....|Blue Master..| cigar
|Cats..............|Horses..|Birds.........|Fish........|Dogs..............| pet

Though I'm fairly sure none of those brands are cigars

EDIT: either that one quite early on about the circus midget was written wrong, or it's impossible. I researched it and a different riddle involving a BLIND circus midget was about, but not the one posted. It's actually driving me mad >. >

I did it! I think but you both got it wrong i think. The one who owns the fish is...

Spoiler

The Norwegian owns the fish!

Add gramma to make this into a grammatically correct sentence:
I said that that that that that man said should have been underlined

is it more to do with the fact that it says 'gramma' instead of 'grammar'?

Am I correct?
