Riddle:
You have been beamed up by some aliens and now you are in a room where there is a fish, and the alien says "I am doing my experiments on humans and I know that humans like to eat the fish so to win in the test you must prove you are a human and eat the fish! (BUT it is a nice pet fish so you do not want to eat it! So how do you win but NOT eat the fish and even have a nice pet fish in the end instead??)
Answer: You throw the fishtank at the alien, because water is poison for the aliens so it will die and you will win (and the fish is a type of fish that can live on land)

Riddle:
Nicholas loves to collect pairs of shoes. All of his pairs of shoes are blue, except for three; all of them are white, except for three; all of them are brown, except for three; finally, all of them are beige, except for three. How many pairs of shoes does Nicholas have?
Answer: Nicholas has four pairs of shoes. Let's say that x is the number of pairs of shoes Nicholas has. x - 3 should be the term we need to use because the phrase "(color) except for three" means that three pairs of shoes in his collection are NOT of that color. And we should use this term four times because four colors are mentioned in the riddle. 4(x - 3) should be equal to x because once again, x represents the number of pairs of shoes. Here is the algebra: 4 (x - 3) = x 4x - 12 = x -12 = -3x 4 = x Therefore, there are four pairs of shoes in Nicholas' collection: one blue, one white, one brown, and one beige.
