I saw this one in Professor Layton.
All on the first night. Each logician asks the group about their own eye color. Duh.Jerious1154 said:

I believe the riddle is supposed to specify that they can't talk to each other or signal the eye color of another person.The Thinker said:
Heres one, a ancient Indian tribe capture four people bury them all up to there necks in sand like this.
4th man. brick wall. 3rd man. 2nd man. 1st man.
then the Indians put 2 blue hats onto two men (4th and 2nd) and two red hats on the other two (3rd and first). The Indians then say "if two of you can call out the colour of your hat in ten minutes we will let you free."
they cannot twist there heads or body's at all and cannot look up to see there hats how do they get free.

More of a math problem than anything:
There are 7 ladies who carry 7 bags each. In each bag there are 7 cats. For each cat are 7 kittens. How many feet are there? For those who want to get technical, yes, paws count as feet.

Not even close. Remember, you count the feet for the whole thing. Not just per bag. (I edited the question to 7 bags each, maybe while you were computing)crudus said:
First the second man calls out his hat color. If his hat was red, the third man would see two reds in front of him, and thus call out blue. Since the second man doesn't speak up, the third man knows that the third man is uncertain, so his hat must be the opposite color of the first man's.woots7 said:
Then the first man calls out his hat color, since he knows it must be the opposite of the second man (since otherwise the third man would have spoken up).
Friday is the horse's name. Technically it could also be Monday but that would be very awkward wording in that first sentence.callmegreen said:
Ok, I am assuming that the logicians all stay in one spot staring at each other instead of wondering off and dicking everyone. I am also going to assume they don't know how many of each color there are. I am not sure if you intended there can only be one guess a night or not though. However, I am going to give this a shot. Ok, scale this back a little. If there were two people and at least one had blue has then it is safe to assume if you see brown eyes you must have blue eyes, and you would then leave on the first night. If both people had blue eyes then by the fact that they are reluctant to guess proves they both have blue eyes. If one person had blue eyes and 2 people had brown, just seeing brown is sufficient. If two people had blue eyes then again, the reluctance proves there is more than one person with blue eyes. Now, two and two is the same thing. Three people with blue eyes and two people with brown is where it starts to get tricky. It is still similar. If Tracy has blue eyes and sees two brown and two blue then he can use the same logic to conclude he has blue eyes. I am not sure what night they can leave by(edit: by night 51 I think), but I can conclude that at least all 50 blue eyed people can figure out they have blue eyes.kane.malakos said:

Riddle me this: A man walks into a pub, walks upto the bar and asks the bartender for a glass of water. The bartender fetches him the glass of water and then throws it over the man. The man thanks the bartender and leaves.
Why did the bartender throw the glass of water over the man?
This is a proper answer to this, not because the bartender is an arsehole.

Often held but never touched, always wet but never rusts, often bites but seldom bit, to use me well you must have wit.

No sooner spoken than broken. What is it?
If you break me I'll not stop working. If you can touch me, my work is done. If you lose me, you must find me with a ring soon after. What am I?
Always old, sometimes new, never sad, sometimes blue. Never empty, sometimes full, never pushes, always pulls.
