Thread: New riddle

John Bongiovi, hairdresser.

Who is Bon Jovi ?

Was he or she at Monterey, Woodstock or even Sunbury?

Hey duck boy, I believe Bon Jovi digs holes for a living, at holey holeston in the district of Holesworthy. He's lived there his hole life, which has been a depressing pothole of an existence.
Whilst trying to leave this hell hole once, he slipped in an unseen hole, you might say hidden, he was taken back to his rat hole of a home, sucked back into the black hole holey holeston This maybe a hole lot of rubbish which can't be holey hidden in a holesome hole!

Well, well, well. (three holes in the ground - get it... ha ha ha.. ha ha.. ahem). Dont blame me it's late!

A cabin lies at the center of a field. There are no roads leading to the cabin. There are four fences surrounding the cabin - none with gates. The cabin has been burnt on the inside and there are six bodies inside. How did the people die?

There are clues. For those of you who know this one, please let it run for a couple of replies at least then impress everyone with you knowledge.

Cheers

Kris

P.S. The six bodies are all burnt, yet none were killed by fire!

Thanks for the offer, but I'm not likely to be in Adelaide any time soon...

Asphxyation
Asphixiation
Asphyxiation..is that correct?

Both Spelling and answer.

Is the cabin an aircraft cabin? If so they died from impact and then were burnt. No, I didn't know this one but I remember teachers giving us these as "lateral thinking" exercises, however I suspect it was mainly because it was end of term and they hadn't prepared any lessons.

Yep thats right spot on. There was a major malfunction in the plane causing a sudden decrease in cabin pressure thus resulting in the pilots losing consciousness. They didn't die in the impact they all died at the sudden stop at the end.

What is the only thing in the world that when it emits a sound it does not echo?


Clue - it is a living thing; however, it is not static (it also only has two legs)...

Sorry Kris, but it's a myth that a duck's quack doesn't echo. Everything echos, it's just hard to hear a duck's quack because it is a long drawn out sound.

Hang on and I'll put your theory to the test.

( a minute or so later...)

Yep! Simon is right, Kris. A duck's quack does echo..

OK a new riddle

Two friends each stand on the 40th floor of a building, one in London and one in New York. The buildings are constructed from a similar design so the height of each floor in the each buiding is the same. They both drop a tennis ball out of the window at exactly the same time.

Who's tennis ball hits the ground first?
