"Anna's picture is not in the gold box" was written on the bronze box. The King would tell each suitor "Only one of the three messages is correct." Which box contained Anna's picture? So the silver box? Ack, after rereading I have determined it to be the bronze. Incorrect. Anyone else want to give it a try? |

Anna's picture is in the silver box.
My reasoning is following: if picture is in golden box, 2 messages are correct (golden and silver) if picture is in bronze box, then again 2 messages are correct (silver and bronze) if picture is in silver box, then only one message is correct - bronze. Both golden and silver would be wrong. Correct |

There is a small town on the East Coast that has 2 barbershops each with a single barber, and on opposite sides of town. The barbershop in the good part of town is immaculate. The floors and windows are washed and the air is fresh. The barber is very friendly, always smiling, he has shined shoes, a nice head of hair, and a clean dress shirt. The barbershop in the bad part of town is a mess. The entire barbershop is covered with a layer of dirt, and the air smells of trash. The barber always has a frown on his face. His skin is oily, his hair is ragged, and there are always stains visible on his shirt.
A man comes into town and hears of both barbershops and the man decides to go to the dirty barbershop in the bad part of town. Why does he do this? |

A man comes into town and hears of both barbershops and the man decides to go to the dirty barbershop in the bad part of town. Why does he do this? There are only two barbers in town, and they can't style their own hair - they work on each other. So if the "clean" one has a nice head of hair, it's only because the "dirty" one is a good barber. Dirty guy has terrible hair, so the Clean guy can't be very good. |

Sorry for lying and for the amazingly long delay but here is another riddle:
There is a basket full of hats. 3 of them are white and 2 of them are black. There are 3 men Tom, Tim, and Jim. They each take a hat out of the basket and put it on their heads without seeing the hat they selected or the hats the other men selected. The men arrange themselves so Tom can see Tim and Jim's hats, Tim can see Jim's hat, and Jim can't see anyone's hat.
Tom is asked what color his hat is and he says he doesn't know. Tim is asked the same question, and he also doesn't know. Finally, Jim is asked the question, and he does know.
What color is his hat?

What color is his hat?
Heard this one before.
The hat is white.
Assuming Tom doesn't know the colour of his own hat then the other hats can't be both black or he'd would know his is white. Then when Tim doesn't know his hat color either so Jim's hat could not be black otherwise Tim would have to know his hat was white to make a proper guess of it.
My Riddle is if you'd allow me to post it and assuming it hasn't already been said
You hear it speak, for it has a hard tongue. But it cannot breathe, for it has not a lung. What is it?
