Long time ago on naruto-boards far away there was a topic designated for riddles. Since riddles are always popular, I guess we should revive that topic.
So basically, you either post a riddle or answer on one that is already here. Make sure that when you answer you put it under spoiler tag. Once the riddle is answered correctly post your own or just wait for someone else to post his.
Any sort of riddles are appreciate. Make it mind games, math riddles, word games, detective mysteries... anything.


Keep it spamless.


Since I created a topic I'll start with my favorite riddle:

Father, mother, two sons, two daughters, policeman and a criminal wants to cross a river using a small boat.
Rules:
- Only two persons can ride in a boat at the same time
- Only mother father and a policeman can control the boat
- Father is not allowed to stay on same side with daughters if mother is not there or he will slap them (bare with it). That also includes that father can't ride in a boat with daughter.
- Mother is not allowed to stay on same side with sons if father is not there or she will slap them (weird family, don't ask). That also includes that mother can't ride in a boat with sons.
- Criminal is not allowed to stay with anyone unless policeman is with him (he will slap... no he will beat them up). That also means that Criminal can only ride together with Policeman.
- Criminal will not escape if he is left alone.

In what order will everyone ride the boat to cross the river? I hope you understand the rules, I am not native English speaker.

Wrong since 1st line.

Criminal is not allowed to stay with anyone unless policeman is there. So Policeman can't take a son with him because he will leave Criminal with others.

Once father takes one son he will instantly leave other son on mother's mercy that is non-existent in this case... wrong.

I'll leave you all struggling for a while, It gives me pleasure to see you guys thinking.

Of course fongpayman can always show up and solve it in a second, like he did it for the first 3 times I posted this.
