Hey, it's ya pal Sketch here, to lay somethin heavy on ya, just cuz you got eyes, doesn't mean you always see.....you gotta get the whole picture before you really know whats goin down....dont belive me? ....okay that's enough of that, cookie for refrance.

Here's mine:

A man is lying dead on the floor, with a knife in his back, next to a pool of water. The room he died in has no windows, and the door was locked from the inside. The only other object in the room is a chair. The placement of the knife is such that he couldn't have reached there to stab him self.
How did he die?
(obviously the knife killed him but how did it happen?)

he fell off the chair and landed on the knife? the water could be ice holding the knife up.

Yeah he froze the knife in water and jumped backwards onto the knife, the ice melted. Its from an episode of case closed, and the guy was trying to frame a chick, but yeah, its all I could think of this second lol

 

[Singularly Datarific]

The criminal rides into town on Tuesday.
He stays at a tavern for 3 days.
Then rides out of town on Wednesday.
He didnt stay at any other bar, tavern or hotel, and didn't sleep rough.
How is this possible?

He's on drugs so he stayed awake the whole 3 days.
EDIT:

Why are 2007 pennies worth more than 2006 pennies?

cuz that'd be $20.07, as opposed to $20.06.
Duh.

[EASY] How much dirt is in a perfect five by five foot hole

[MEDIUM] There are 52 bicycles in the room, along with a round table. Under the table is a dead man, why did he die.

[EASY] How do you get 4 gallons of water with a 3 and 5 gallon jug

[HARD] There are 3 lightswitches down stairs and 3 upstairs. You want to figure out which lightswitch goes to each bulb. There is an elevator connecting the room but you can only use it once. How do you find the correct switches and the correct bulbs.

I will give one internet cookie to the person who can answer all 4 of these

1. No dirt at all.
2. He was playing cards and hiding the joker, causing the others to kill him. (I'm missing something here, but I'm pretty sure they're cards)
3. Fill 3 gallon, empty into 5, refill, empty as much as possible into 5, empty 5, put remaining 1 gallon into 5, refill 3, empty into 5 gallon for total of 4 gallons.
4. Already done, turn on one switch for ten minutes, then turn it off, turn one switch on, leave one off, go upstairs and feel bulbs, hot one is the switch that has already been on, lit one is on, cold one is the switch that has always been off.

[The Warden]

Alright, another of me riddles. I really like this one but it's better suited for actual conservation.

Spoiler

Three guests check into a hotel room. The clerk says the bill is $30, so each guest pays $10. Later the clerk realizes the bill should only be $25. To rectify this, he gives the bellhop $5 to return to the guests. On the way to the room, the bellhop realizes that he cannot divide the money equally. As the guests didn?t know the total of the revised bill, the bellhop decides to just give each guest $1 and keep $2 for himself.

Now that each of the guests have been given $1 back, each has paid $9, bringing the total paid to $27. The bellhop has $2. If the guests originally handed over $30, what happened to the remaining $1?

You should all know this one.

What have I got in my pocket

Can I answer Riddle 1 with Riddle 2?

A man and his son are knocked down in an accident, the man is killed and the son is badly injured. When he is taken to hospital, the doctor refuses to operate, stating "This is my son" How is this possible?

Four answers: 1.ZOMBIE DAD, 2.The Man was not his father, 3.The Man was taken to the hospital, mistaken for being alive, and the doctor was the man's father, and 4. The Doctor is a fucking liar.


OT:I am never quite what I appear to be. Straight-forward I seem, but it's only skin deep, for mystery most often lies beneath my simple speech. Sharpen your wits, open your eyes, look beyond my exteriors, read me backwards, forwards, upside down. Think critically and answer the question. What am I?

 

[Nicolai]

None of those 4 answers are correct, sorry.

To answer yours, O?

No one's got the correct answer yet, I'm quite surprised.

1. I'm the driver so they are my eyes. Which for me is brown, but whatever the answer is will vary from person to person.
2. I would say a penis, but Madonna probably has one (I'm sure she's a shemale). So I'll have to go for a surname.
3. 4100

Hence only 3 people.
