Isn't there already a riddle thread? I thought this thread was something altogether different.

BTW, the chimney answer isn't smoke, it's an umbrella. Very common one.

There's no windows in elevators.

Debra is laying dead on the floor of a room. There's not a mark on her and the only thing around her is glass and water. What happened?

Debra choked to death on a chunk of ice.

A steam engine is going westward at 50 miles an hour. The wind is blowing eastward at 30 miles an hour. Which direction is the smoke going?

Up, and a little west.

If you're in a race and you pass the person in 2nd, what position are you in?

1. He never said it was a combustion powered steam engine. There might not be any smoke?

2. 2nd.

Riddle me this:

The safe bet in videogame development is to use what worked, tweak it, and sell it again. We all sit around and cry for innovation, but innovation is a very risky gamble (when it works, it works stupendously; when it fails, oo-boy what a show). What mechanisms could serve to incubate innovation without forsaking the interests of the shareholders?

biomechanical engineering on the staff, and if that fails, sell the story to a game developer

Can't answer; liar's paradox.

Problem: A Zeppelin has dropped too much water ballast to keep it at a constant altitude. (Therefore it is essentially falling up, slowly)
Since he ballast prevents the zeppelin from flipping over, which is now gone, it can not vent its lifting gas properly. How does one make sure the zeppelin doesn't crash?

It is smoke, now for my question.

Two men get into an elevator, one was carrying a rubber ball somewhere on his person. The other man got out a pack of cigerettes and offered the first man one, the first man took it and threw it out of the window. The second man punched the first man, the first man got up onto his hands and knees, the second man kicks the first man in the arse, the rubber ball disappeared. What is wrong with this statement?

Elevators don't have windows. Most of the time.

A decorated soldier dies in a war. Many people knew this man and loved him very much. At a memorial in his hometown people from another state come and shout slanderous things much akin to what you would find a troll saying (You are gay, god hates you, get out of America). Many grieving people are very angry. Things are bound to escalate if you don't do something about it. What do you do?

I actually though about this for some time and I came up with the perfect, non-violent solution. Poop. No seriously.

Let all attendees of the funeral take a dump in some buckets. Then proceed to empty said buckets over protestors. It is non-violent and the protestors will probably not be able to continue their protest. You will probably only be fined for littering which I would find totally acceptable. And a true soldier, even if it was on his funeral, would laugh at the thought.

If you are still affraid of consequences, say that the toilets in the memorial home where broken, the emmers filled up quickly and the protestors where in the way while emptying the buckets. Totally plausible excuse.

My problem now is... I'm busy trying to get the consultants in the company I work for to meet up with partners who we occasionally hire to do projects at company's using knowledge we don't have in our business. I'm tasked to create ways of knowledge sharing. I have a lot of bases covered, only thing I get hung up on is how to get them to met frequently and keep them motivated to do so for a long/indefinate period of time...
Any suggestions?
