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? 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. Correct. Here's a new riddle:
There is a story that a man and not a man
Saw and did not see a bird and not a bird
Perched on a branch and not a branch
And hit him and did not hit him with a rock and not a rock.
How is this possible?

I'm really not good at riddles, they are all so vague do you not think!?
My mind doesn't work that way - I am far more adept at creativity, not riddle solving. Still this is a cool thread and I am always intrigued by the riddles you guys post. |

The answer is: @above replies: logic doesn't always demand science, even though they work well together. And over-thinking an issue can often fail to see the right answer. That is the art of riddles - they help one to see that. to make a hole, you have to remove something from the bucket, the riddle says PUTTING something in a bucket. though we use the language in the riddle for everyday speech, it is not technically correct.
i have to go with hole because you can put a hole in a bucket and that makes the bucket lighter because less of the bucket is there so a little bit of the mass is taken away. there is your physics for you 101. when you take a little piece away the item will become a little lighter |

What am I? a wig? Correct! Here is a New Year's Eve themed riddle:
Christmas and New Year's Day occur exactly one week apart. So a New Year's that occurs right after Christmas should be on the same day of the week. But in the year 2020 Christmas will occur on a Friday and New Year's on a Wednesday.
Why is this?

Because the Christmas Day that was a week before New Years Day 2020 was in 2019.

I meant that Christmas Day 2019 is 7 days before New Years Day 2020 and is on a Wednesday. Christmas Day 2020 is almost 12 months later and is on a Friday. Sorry if that's not what your getting at as looking back at my first answer it wasn't very clear so I'm trying to explain it better.

The source where I found this riddle had a slightly different answer so we'll move on to the next one:
You have two coconuts and you want to find out how high they can be dropped from a 100 story building before they break. But you only have $1.50 and the elevator costs a dime each time you ride it.
How can you drop the coconuts to guarantee you will find the lowest floor they will break at, while starting and ending at floor 1?
Note: They break when dropped from the same height and they don't weaken from getting dropped.

Don't drop the second coconut - just use it to prop the elevator door open.
Viola', you only have to pay once! Well, unless someone else wants to use the elevator
Alternatively, just use the stairs - which are likely required by law to exist in case of fire.
Especially if the owner is such a cheapskate that he charges people to use the freakin' elevator on a 100 story building. |

Let's just imagine that the people who designed the building unwisely forgot to add stairs and the elevator is the only way to travel between floors.

Find a way to earn enough money to bloody test the coconuts right?
If you can't get enough money to properly test the coconuts then I guess it wasn't all that important then was it?
