Riddle:
There is a certain club which is for men only. There are 600 men who belong to this club and 5% of these men wear one earring. Of the other 95% membership, half wear two earrings and the other half wear none. How many earrings are being worn in this club?
Answer: Six hundred. We know that 5%, or 30 of the men are wearing one earring. Of the other 95%, or 570, we know that half are wearing two earrings and the other half none. This is the same as if they all wore one.

I come across as flat,
But theirs more to me than my surface;
You climb my moutains from top to bottom,
And fall from bottom to top.
What am I?
Riddle:
Natalie had fourteen balls. Each one color. She alternated the colors each day, there were blue, pink, purple, green, red, yellow, black, white, orange, turquoise, tan, neon pink, and brown. Each day of the week she also alternated fast food places. McDonald's, Chick-fil-A, In-and-out, Wendy's, Good Eats, Burger King, and Arby's None in respective order. What day of the week will she go to Arby's? What ball will she have while she is at Arby's?
Answer: She will go to Arby's on Monday, for that is the first day of the week and A is the first letter of the alphabet. So on Tuesday she would go to Burger King. On Wednesday she would go to Chick-fil-A. And so on. She would have a Red Ball On Monday, because red is the first color of the rainbow. So on Tuesday she would have a Orange ball. And so on.
Riddle:
Two schoolgirls were traveling from the city to a dacha (summer cottage) on an electric train.
"I notice," one of the girls said "that the dacha trains coming in the opposite direction pass us every 5 minutes. What do you think-how many dacha trains arrive in the city in an hour, given equal speeds in both directions?"
"Twelve, of course," the other girl answered, "because 60 divided by 5 equals 12."
The first girl did not agree. What do you think?
Answer: If the girls had been on a standing train, the first girl's calculations would have been correct, but their train was moving. It took 5 minutes to meet a second train, but then it took the second train 5 more minutes to reach where the girls met the first train. So the time between trains is 10 minutes, not 5, and only 6 trains per hour arrive in the city.
