I know this, but I can't remember it... Grr...
A clue.
The second one is possible.
The third, think of how trees grow.
Was it a dead tree, therefore it didn't grow, so the nail is still at the same height..?
I remember a riddle I heard once...
There is a box, with something in it. Make it bigger, and the box becomes lighter. What is it?
Yes, its an easy one :D
Space?
Sorry I haven't posted on this thread for a while - it lay lost and forgotten.
Anyway, where do trees grow? Top or bottom?
Oh.. You mean that the tree grew but the nail didn't move because it doesn't grow that way? *realization*
Erm, its not exactly space..
Is the answer to that other one about the box a balloon?
Also trees grow in rings does that have anything to do with the answer?

Well, I still don't get the answer to the first one!
And for number 2, yes, because the capital of the US is Washington DC?
Clues or answers anyone?
I gather my guesses were incorrect?

*sheepish look* for the box one, balloon wsn't what I had in mind.. think abstractly

I'm not sure about this, but is the answer air/emptiness?
New riddle:
What is the end of space, the end of time, and the beginning of eternity?

The letter E :P (It's the same as; "What is the last thing to mend, the middle of middle, and the end of the end?" which refers to the letter D)
Well done! Exactly right!
OK, I have two more:
1. You are driving an empty bus. You pick up 4 passengers at one halt, pick up 9 passengers and drop off 3 at another halt, pick up 2 and drop off 5 at a third halt, pick up 6 and drop off 8 at the final halt. What is the name of the bus driver?
2. You only have one matchstick and you go into a very dark room. Inside the room, there is a lantern and a candle. Which do you light first?
oo ooo!! 1: is it that there is no bus driver ?? lol i had to think hard for that one... =D
2. i have heard somewhere before... ummmmm i cant remember but is it how do you light the match stick ??
I'd answer number one but I can't drive.
oh no no no number two????.... i got it!!! its the match ?? =D
p.s for the first one i sat there to work out the number of people on the bus as i read it.. Grr
um? 9 hours ? or only just as it was just before he want to sleep ? lol
ah damm... lol hmm *puts on a thinking cap* ill get it now ;D
Nope, not that either. I know, that's the obvious thing that everyone always says :P
There's sort of one key point to this riddle i guess. I don't really like it; there are so many things that could be said to explain the real answer away :P
ah Grr! so not fair ! lol *pokes unykorn*
umm 11 ??? lawl
