Re: A REAL Riddle!
A carpenter was in a terrible hurry. He had to work as quickly as possible to cut a very heavy 10 foot plank into 10 equal sections. If it takes 1 minute per cut, how long will it take him to get the 10 equal pieces?

Re: A REAL Riddle!
Look in the mirror, see what you saw, take the saw, cut the table in half; two halves make a "whole", then climb out the "hole."

Re: A REAL Riddle!
OK, they seem to be getting harder.
See how long it take for the right answer to be posted for this one. You are in a dungeon with two guards. One guard always tells the truth and the other always tell a lie. You do not know which is which. There are two doors. One door leads to freedom and the other leads to sure death. You do not know which is which. You have been given the chance to save yourself by asking one question of the guards. The answer to the "question" will allow you to go free. What is your question??? The clock is ticking.
