Wait a minute. I still want an explanation for#3 and #5 first set. No fair having riddles and not explanations. (some of us are kinda dumb, ya know)

Bjjexpertise@be · 03-17-2004, 05:41 PM

ALright gregimotis here are the explanations:

Quote:

3)3 men named Mr.Green, Mr.Red, and Mr.Blue walk into a bar.
"Have you noticed that the color of the suits we wear correspond with our names," Said the man in the blue suit "But none of them match our name?"
Mr.Red Looks at the 2 of them and says,"I agree."
What color is Mr.Blue wearing?

As you see. The three men are wearing suits that are red, green and blue. The color of their suit cannot be the same as his name (mr.red can't wear a red suit). Notice the man in the blue suit talks to mr red. So mr.red can't be wearing a blu suit. That leaves Mr. green and Mr. Blue. Mr.Blue Can't be wearing a blue suit so Mr green is wearing a blue suit. And from there you can probably figure it out.

As for number 5, Notice the riddle says Tom's mother has 4 children.I listed 3 children, none of whom are tom, there fore tom has to be the fourth
