A boy was at a carnival and went to a booth where a man said to the boy, "If I write your exact weight on this piece of paper then you have to give me $50, but if I cannot, I will pay you $50."

The boy looked around and saw no scale so he agrees, thinking no matter what the carny writes he'll just say he weighs more or less.

In the end the boy ended up paying the man $50. How did the man win the bet?

[eXcessiveForce]

Ipon got it, he wrote your exact weight.


The second is kind of a trick question, as long as the race does not have laps then you would be in 2nd, but if it has laps you could technically pass the person in second and still be dead last.

There are two plastic jugs filled with water. How could you put all of this water into a barrel, without using the jugs or any dividers, and still tell which water came from which jug?
put the barrel over the jugs, or pour in the water from 1 jug and wait until it evaporates then pour in the rest

No you just freeze it.

[IPON]

No you just freeze it.

I am confused...even if you freeze the water you still need to use teh jugs to empty the ice block. The question stated without using the jugs (in any fashion)!?!?!?!?!?!

[bvermillion]

You have to be able to tell which water came from which jugs. And why would you need to use the jugs. It means keep them in the jugs in the barrel.

[IPON]

yeah that one has a few answers that fit the riddle. It needed to be a little more exact in it's wording.
