You are correct! Here's another riddle for you to figure out:

A large truck is crossing a bridge 1 mile long. The bridge can only hold 14000 lbs, which is the exact weight of the truck. The truck makes it half way across the bridge and stops. A bird lands on the truck. Does the bridge collapse? Give a reason.

You are CORRECT! Sorry for the late reply, I was busy yesterday. Anyway, here's a riddle for the day:

A man is lying dead with a backpack on, face down in the desert. What happened?

In reply to Parson's post, I guess it wouldn't hurt to have others post their own riddles. Feel free to do so.

I'll keep your suggestions in mind but this riddle does have one answer.

What has 5 (sometimes 4) hands but is normal?

You are CORRECT! Here comes another one:

The music stopped. The woman dies. Why?

Silence?

Now this is much harder. I have a question: are you allowed to go downstairs again after going upstairs or no?

Flip all 3 switches, then go upstairs

And what kind of switches are those? Can they somehow be flipped to the middle position, thus causing the light to flicker or shine with less intensity?

there's a hole on the basement's ceiling which allows light to seep in?

Just as a note to address some of the complaints in this thread. The OP was harassed for ambiguous or intentionally misleading questions. Well that's a riddle. riddles use double meanings, puns, word play etc to confuse.

Questions with a single logical answer are puzzles.

I love both and am saddened I only yesterday found this thread. anyways, the bird's shadow one and #'s in alphabetical order are clever riddle's and fit the title of the thread.

As for the ambiguous ones such as "The music stopped. She died" Those are generally contain either very little information or intentionally misleading information. They way I have always played them is that those trying to work it out can ask yes or no questions to narrow down and solve them. While they are among my favorite type of puzzle not easily done in this thread. perhaps if given its own thread would be more conducive to solving.

Thanks for making this thread. mostly typing all this out because I'm bored so

Hard Tier:

You are in the basement and there are 3 light switches. A,B and C.
Two of them do nothing. One of them turns on the light on the first floor.
You can't see the first floor, so there is no chance of seeing what happens when you flip a switch.
You are not allowed to use any kind of help or tools.
The only thing you can do is turn on/off the three light switches.
The goal is to know, for certain, which switch turns on the light after you go upstairs.
You are only allowed to go upstairs once and you cannot go back downstairs once up.

You are correct, Thrawn01. Here's another riddle:

Pronounced as one letter,
And written with three,
Two letters there are,
And two only in me.
I'm double, I'm single,
I'm black, blue, and gray,
I'm read from both ends,
And the same either way.
What am I?

You are CORRECT! Here's another one, guys:

You do not want to have me,
But when you have me,
You do not want to lose me.
What am I?

Is gold usually shut up in wooden case?
