*pokes Krystal back* No guessing random numbers for the fun of it!
And nope, not that either ... C'mon, it's easy ... You go to bed at 8:00, you wake up at 9:00 ...
oooh i think ive heard this one before. dont you have to rewind an alarm clock at the end of the day or something? it runs out...or... like...how do i explain this (and im probably wrong) *thinks* if the person set it at 8:00pm the night before he would have to rewind the clock back up (at 12:00am?) for it to go off at 9:00 am...
yeh...im confused too *lowers head & blushes* |:(
Right, I'm confused too ... :P
I think you might be on the right track Cail, but you're answer doesn't really fit the question ...
Here it is again:
"Before you go to bed at 8pm, you wind your alarm clock to wake you up at 9:00am. How many hours sleep do you get (assuming you stayed asleep until it rang)?"
Clue: You wind the clock alarm ...
4 hours? i dont know... *smacks head*
Yep, you're right EI! Because a wind-up clock can't tell the difference between am and pm ... so if you set the alarm for 9am, it would just ring at the next 9:00, which would be one hour after 8:00pm. See, the reason I don't like this riddle is because I'm sure someone somewhere has invented a wind up clock that can tell the difference between am and pm :P

YAY! *Dances* Here's another riddle :)
I can sizzle like bacon,
I am made with an egg,
I have plenty of backbone, but lack a good leg,
I peel layers like onions, but still remain whole,
I can be long, like a flagpole, yet fit in a hole,
What am I?
im so dumb...snails dont even have a backbone.

If you want. If you can't think of any Im sure someone else will come along that knows one :)
um...well, the only one i can think of right now is this:
A man was captured by a tribe of canibals and was told that he had to make a statement. If the statement was true he would be thrown into a pit of snakes. If the statement was false he would be thrown to lions. What statement can the man make that will save him from both fates?
I hope that made sense. It doesn't rhyme and it was from memory... a very old one actually. |:( Please don't ask me why they didn't eat him in the first place.
:roll:

Lol I just remember reading it somewhere :)
Only one color, but not one size,
Stuck at the bottom, yet easily flies.
Present in sun, but not in rain,
Doing no harm, and feeling no pain.
What is it.
For some reason im thinking clouds or grass???
