Fun for history buffs:

The 22nd and 24th U.S. Presidents had the same parents, but were not brothers. How is this possible?

 

[Zelurien]

Here's one of the logic ones.

A dead man is found in a locked room, hanging from the ceiling 4 ft. above the floor. The room is completely empty, except for a puddle of water below him. How did he die?

And

If you cross out all unnecessary letters in the following string of letters, a logical sentence will remain. Can you see it?

Hmm...
Dan & Suzy are found on the floor, dead.
There is shattered glass & some water on the floor, but their bodies are unharmed & they did not drown.
How did they die?

Dan and Suzy are fish and their bowl was knocked over.

My Riddle:

You're in a room and in front of you are 5 jars with different tablets in them, the jars are marked A to E and an electric scale already zeroed is beside the jars. Across an intercom a scary voice says that you have been poisoned and have 5 minutes to live. One of the jars contains the antidote and the rest a stronger poison. The tablet with antidote is 6 grams and the rest are 5. You may only perform a single measurement, performing another will cause the poison to accelerate through the power of riddle magic killing you instantly. You have to determine which is the antidote to survive, how do you do this?

All fixed

Alright then you choose the one with the 6 on it.. Since you said the one with the 6 is the antidote.. And you said it says 6 on the tablet so its obviously the one your looking for but to make sure you compare the one with the 6 against the one with the 5.. if it equals 11 then you are right if it is 10 well then your screwed!

That's a great one. I've heard it before so won't answer it but it drove me to distraction the first time I was asked it.

You're very close. You need to remove those letters.

Grover Cleveland was elected twice! never thought I'd use 11th grade AP US history in my life.

First one: he stood on a block of ice until it melted.

Second one: Cross out the letters that make up ALL UNNECESSARY LETTERS and you're left with ALOGICALSENTENCE = A LOGICAL SENTENCE

EDIT: Double ninja'd on the second.

You're technically correct. I should have asked "How did he kill himself"

Correct. I'm not such a fan of those ones but I liked that one.

I'm running out of ones I know.

No legs have I to dance,
No lungs have I to breathe,
No life have I to live or die
And yet I do all three.
What am I?

and no googling! ; )

Right!

A plane crashed and every single person on board was killed, yet there were survivors. How is this possible?

Another one: What runs but never walks, has a mouth but never talks?

A tap
