Answer: The three words are BACON, CUPCAKE, and LOVE. This riddle is open to many interpretations, so there are multiple answers. For example, BACON doesn't end with an E (unlike CUPCAKE and LOVE). However, CUPCAKE has three vowels (while BACON and LOVE have two each). On the other hand, LOVE is an emotion (while BACON and CUPCAKE are foods). No matter which word you pick, there is at least one reason for it being correct.
Riddle:
During the winter of 1959, a young man returned home from work, and presented his new bride with a box -shaped like a part of the human body. He also gave her a newly published book entitled Flowers for Algernon, and humbly apologized to her, stating, "The one store was open, but the other store was not, so this is as close as I could get for your gifts." As he looked into the eyes of his beautiful bride, he spoke these strange, mystical words: "With Abe looking forward, and George looking back, I ask you, on this special day; will you -- -- ---------?" To solve this brainteaser, you must: #1- identify the contents of the box (shaped like a part of the human body) which he gave to his wife; #2- identify the "special day" referred to by the husband, and #3 - reveal the three missing words the husband spoke to his new bride.
Answer: #1- The content of the box, shaped like a part of the human body, was an assortment of chocolates in a heart-shaped container. The book he brought her had “Flowers” in the title, as the floral shop was closed, but the bookstore was still open. #2- the “special day” referred to by the husband is —Valentines Day. The man’s reference to Abe looking forward (Abraham Lincoln’s birthday in February) and George looking back (George Washington’s Birthday in February) indicates the location of Valentine’s Day between the two. #3- the three missing words spoken by the husband to his wife are “Be My Valentine.”
Riddle:
You place a cup of coffee in front of your friend. You then ask your friend, "What's before you?". Your friend answers, "Tea,". Why is this answer correct?
Answer: If the answer to your question was "coffee", you would have never asked such a simple question. In fact, the question and answer were a play on words; you were asking your friend what comes before the letter U (you) in the alphabet. The letter T (tea) comes before the letter U, so your friend's answer was correct after all.

Riddle:
Chris wants to enter an exclusive club, but the security guard in front of the door always asks for a password. Chris decides to eavesdrop on clubgoers, and this is what he sees: A woman walks up to the security guard. The guard says "12", and the woman replies "6". The woman is granted access. A man walks up to the security guard. The guard says "6", and the man replies "3". The man is granted access. Another woman walks up to the security guard. The guard says "10", and the woman replies "5". This woman is NOT granted access. Chris thinks he's seen enough, and he walks up to the security guard. The guard says "4". What should Chris say to get into the club?
Answer: To get into the club, Chris should say "4". The task was not to divide the number by two (after all, not all numbers are divisible by two). Instead, the task was to say how many letters are in the number the security guard says. "Twelve" has 6 letters. "Six", in turn, has 3 letters. "Ten" also has 3 letters, so the second woman should have said "3", not "5". Chris should say "4" because "four" consists of 4 letters.

Riddle:
Beckett called the police and said that his little brother, Cody, had been kidnapped. The man told the officers, "I was walking in the park with Cody. Suddenly, a stranger ran up to us and snatched my brother! I told the man to put him down or else I'd call the police, but then he ran away!". The officers asked Beckett to give a description of the kidnapper. Beckett said, "The stranger was tall and thin, he had dark hair, and he was wearing a blue v-neck T-shirt,". After these words, Beckett was arrested for fraud. Why?
Answer: If the supposed stranger was running away from Beckett, the guy couldn't have seen that he was wearing a v-neck T-shirt because the v-neck is normally seen in the front, but Beckett could only see the guy's back.
