Riddle:
A wife called to her husband from the front door of their home stating, "Don't forget to raise the flag, but please don't be goofy and salute it afterward." Her husband responded by saying, "Don't you love your country?" The wife replied, "I am very patriotic, but I would never salute that flag. You embarrass yourself when you do it, especially when the neighbors see you." "Well, all I know is if I don't raise the flag, we'll lose our electricity, our car will be towed away, and eventually we will be evicted! Being a veteran of the Army, as long as the flag is red, white, and blue, I will always salute it!" "Oh, have it your own way, answered his wife, "but it's not the raising of the flag to which I object, it's you're saluting it afterward that bothers me!" What were the circumstances behind this couple's bizarre-sounding argument?
Answer: The flag on the couple’s mailbox in front of their home was painted red, white, and blue to resemble the American flag. When the husband put their outgoing bills and other mail in the mailbox, he had to raise the flag to be sure their outgoing mail would be picked up by their mail delivery person. Being a veteran and a patriotic person, he felt compelled to salute the flag each time he raised it.

Riddle:
Terry lives part-time in a mobile home, but it is a most unusual place. Terry's mobile home has no front or back door, so Terry can only enter his home through the roof. His home has no kitchen or basement or attic; and most importantly, his home has no bathroom! Considering all of these basic housing deficiencies, it is no wonder Terry's mental health has again come into question, as he often feels compelled to start shooting at strangers from within the confines of his mobile home. It doesn't seem possible, but the authorities are 100% supportive of Terry's actions! Has Terry snapped mentally? Is he in need of immediate psychiatric treatment, or is his mental health more normal than it appears? And why do the authorities permit Terry to shoot at others? Just what is going on here?
Answer: Terry is a soldier in the U.S. Army. He operates an armored Tank in the service of our country.

Riddle:
Ten men, five women, and 15 three-year-olds are being watched by thousands of cheering people. The men and the women and the three-year-olds are observed slowly entering 15 box-like structures, each having iron bars in the front. The men and women are not related to the three-year-olds, but at times witnesses have reported seeing these adults whip these three-year-olds to force them to obey their commands. Fortunately, the barred doors suddenly spring open and the men, women, and three-year-olds make their escape; however, they are easily tracked, as they always feel compelled to travel to the left, and never to the right. The thousands of people watching these proceedings are all waiting to see who will be the first to meet their end. These circumstances are inexcusable in a civilized society! How can thousands of people just idly sit by and cheer while a group of men and women whip a bunch of three-year-olds before their very eyes? What is wrong with society? Or, is there a simple explanation for these bizarre-sounding events? Just what exactly is going on here?
Answer: With a maximum of 20 entrants in each race, the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness, and the Belmont Stakes feature only three-year-old thoroughbreds racing from their starting gates to their end at the finish line. Not all of the jockeys use whips on their horses, but many still do. By the way, to answer the title question: at the start of every race, they are not on —— They’re off!!!
Riddle:
You've taken a job as a researcher in a remote and mysterious laboratory high in the Swiss Alps. Late one night, while you're working in the lab, you hear a loud crash just before the lab assistant bursts through the door, fleeing from the outstretched arms of a reanimated corpse. You and the lab assistant managed to get out into the hallway and bar the door shut behind you. Rounding a corner, you bump into the janitor and the old professor who oversees the lab work. They tell you that you must escape through an emergency exit at the back of the building that hasn't been used in years, as the front entrance has been overrun with zombies. You grab a flashlight and flee with your three companions out the rear emergency exit, into the darkness and down a hill before you arrive at a dilapidated rope bridge with fraying ropes and missing foot-boards. The bridge spans a wide gorge, and a fall means certain death, but it's your only method of escape. You hear the zombies crash through the emergency exit of the lab, and the professor quickly estimates that they will arrive at the foot of the bridge, where you are standing, in 17 minutes. Because the bridge is so worn and weathered, only two people can cross at once. Because it is pitch dark out with no moon to light your way, one person must come back across the bridge with the flashlight after they have crossed to allow anyone else to cross. And because the bridge is so rickety, you need to get everyone all the way across before the zombies arrive. (They'll run out onto the bridge and collapse it, so even if you're most of the way across when they reach the foot of the bridge, you'll die.) You are a spry young researcher, and it only takes you 1 minute to dash across the bridge. The lab assistant is a bit slower, and it takes her 2 minutes to cross the bridge. The janitor managed to twist his ankle coming down the hill, so it will take him 5 minutes to cross. And the professor is an hunched old man with arthritis-it takes him a full 10 minutes to cross the bridge. How do you get everyone across the bridge to safety in 17 minutes or less? Also, there are no tricks here. you cant swing across, use the bridge as a weapon or befriend the zombies!
Answer: At first, it seems like no matter what you do; you are just a minute or 2 short on time. But, there is a way. The key is to minimize the time wasted by the 2 slowest people. And since you will need to make some return trips with the lantern, you need to have the fastest 2 people available to do so. So, you and the lab assistant dash across first. This takes you 2 mins to do, since you need to match her pace. After, you should go back. 3 mins have passed. So far, so good. Next up, have the janitor and professor go next. This'll take 10 mins since the janitor needs to slow down for the old professor, who keeps muttering that he probably shouldn't have given the zombies night vision. After 10 mins have passed, the pair across the bridge. However, you are still on the wrong side of the bridge. But remember, the lab assistant has been waiting for you. So,with only 4 mins left; she grabs the lantern from the janitor and runs back across to you. Now, as you two make it across the bridge, you cut the ropes and collapse the bridge behind you, just in the nick of time. Maybe next time, you should stick to the library!
