Riddle:
"I was walking to my local grocery store to pick up some stuff when I saw that my neighbor Rachel's house had been burgled! It was very cold outside, and I saw some frost on the window. I breathed on the glass to get rid of the frost, and I saw that Rachel's safe had been open and that her money was stolen!". That was Hank's story. An officer who was investigating asked Hank, "And where did you hide the money you stole from your neighbor?". How did the officer come to this conclusion?
Answer: Windows become frozen over from the inside, not the outside, so Hank couldn't have wiped off the frost from the window to find the money stolen.
Riddle:
I was walking on the sand by the beach, not touching the water. When I turned around, there were no footprints. How come?

Riddle:
Four friends– Sam, Evan, Rachel, and Olivia– go out for lunch one Saturday morning. The friends order their food, as well as a big pot of blackberry tea. Sam and Rachel decide to drink the tea, but Evan and Olivia do not; Evan takes a large cup of coffee, and Olivia takes lemonade. After drinking the tea, Sam and Rachel feel sick and pass out. When police officers and paramedics arrive, the officers question Evan and Olivia–why did they order different drinks? Evan says, "I took a large cup of coffee because I didn't sleep well last night, and I needed a lot of caffeine to help me stay awake and alert,". Olivia says, "I took lemonade because I am terribly allergic to raspberries. Even one bite gives me a severe rash!". Who poisoned the tea?
Answer: Olivia poisoned the tea. She said she was allergic to raspberries, but the tea the friends ordered contained blackberries, not raspberries. Olivia lied about her allergy to have an alibi.
Riddle:
A man is walking down a road with a basket of eggs. As he is walking he meets someone who buys one-half of his eggs plus one-half of an egg. He walks a little further and meets another person who buys one-half of his eggs plus one-half of an egg. After proceeding further he meets another person who buys one-half of his eggs plus one half an egg. At this point he has sold all of his eggs, and he never broke an egg. How many eggs did the man have to start with?
Answer: 7 eggs. The first person bought one half of his eggs plus one half an egg (3 1/2 + 1/2 = 4 eggs) This left him 3 eggs. The second person bought one-half of his eggs plus one half an egg, (1 1/2 + 1/2 = 2 eggs) leaving the man 1 egg. The last person bought one-half of his eggs plus one-half an egg, (1/2 + 1/2 = 1 egg) leaving no eggs.
Riddle:
Mrs. Harris went to the police station to file a report. She said that someone had attacked her. Here is her story: "I was in the restaurant bathroom, fixing my makeup. Suddenly, a stranger hit me on the head! I didn't see what this person looked like because he approached me from behind!". The police officer refused to file the report and sent Mrs. Harris home. Why?
Answer: If Mrs. Harris was fixing her makeup, she was most likely looking in the mirror (after all, she wouldn't want to ruin her makeup, right?). If someone had approached the woman from behind, she would have DEFINITELY seen what he or she looked like. Therefore, Mrs. Harris lied, and made up the whole story.
Riddle:
A group of teenagers had gathered in a park one sunny day, when the following conversation took place: "I'm hoping for just one four," said thirteen-year-old Nevaeh. "All I can see are threes," responded fourteen-year-old Emery. "My sister found a six once," chimed in fifteen-year-old Johanna, "but that was just pure luck," she added. "You’re full of baloney!" shouted fourteen-year-old Tristen. "There's no such thing as a six!" he continued emphatically. "Oh, yeah?" said Johanna in rebuttal, "I'll have you know, my grandfather told me someone once found a sixty-three, and sent in a picture to the Guinness Book of World Records to prove it." "Well, I’m hoping for a sixty-three, but I'll gladly settle for a four," said Nevaeh, in an effort to break up the argument and establish friendly relations. "I'll second that emotion," said Emery, "but we’ve been looking for an hour now, and all I see are threes." What activity were the teens engaged in at the park?
Answer: The four teenagers were hunting for four-leaf clovers in the grass at the park. According to the Guinness Book, the clover with the most petals ever, was found by a Japanese man in August of 2023. It had sixty-three petals.
Riddle:
I'm a digital oracle, a search engine supreme, Yet my results sometimes seem like a corporate dream. Type in a query, and behold what you find, But beware, my friend, for biases lurk behind. Big companies thrive, their rankings so high, While smaller voices struggle, barely catching an eye. Paid results intermingle with the organic fray, Untangling them? A PhD's work, they say. So, who am I? A gatekeeper of the web, Where algorithms reign, and transparency ebbs. My power immense, my reach vast and wide, But remember, dear user, there's more to see outside. What am I?
Answer: Google Search.

How many cookies can each friend have if they each have the same number of cookies? Will there be any cookies leftover?
Answer: There will be 4 cookies leftover because Mary can only make one batch of cookies which means each of the 20 friends can have 1 cookie. Mary only has enough flour for one batch of cookies, so no matter how much of the other ingredients Mary has, she can only make one batch of cookies.
