Ok, not a "funny" riddle per se, but a head-scratcher nonetheless.
How many People does it take to Stand Up for Something Worthwhile?
Some would say the answer is "one" but history doesn't bear that out. ;)
Ok, but seriously....here is one. Hope I get this one right.
There is a man who *cannot* go to sleep in the dark. No matter how he tries, his eyes just won't stay closed if there isn't a light on.
Yet when he first wakes up, the first thing he does, every time, is *to turn on the bedroom light*.
Assuming he sleeps in his bedroom, how is this possible?
Simplest answer: He's a *day sleeper* who goes to bed, turning off the light, while the sun is still up.
Second simplest answer: He turns off the light during the day, but sleeps with a flashlight.
I know, not much of a riddle, huh?
Ok, I'll stop now.

All though I know the answer to one of these two, these two seem to always cofuse my freinds. 1. A guy travels back in time and kills his grand-father (but if he killed his grandfather how can he be born, and if he's not born how can he kill his grandfather). my solution:He killed him after he already had one of his parents so it didn't matter.
2. An alien comes to earth and say all aliens lie (if he lie then he would be lying about lying which mean they tell the truth, but if he tell the truth, then that means they lie)
my solution: don't really have one unless it's one of those racist comments that don't hold true to everyone but it's said because a majority do it. I don't know if that is a good answer or not.

There are 3 black hats and 2 white hats in a box. Three men (we will call them A, B, & C) each reach into the box and place one of the hats on his own head. They cannot see what color hat they have chosen. The men are situated in a way that A can see the hats on B & C's heads, B can only see the hat on C's head and C cannot see any hats. When A is asked if he knows the color of the hat he is wearing, he says no. When B is asked if he knows the color of the hat he is wearing he says no. When C is asked if he knows the color of the hat he is wearing he says yes and he is correct. What color hat and how can this be?

Manager realizes he over charged the guys, so he gives 50 bucks to a bell hop to return to the men. bellman pockets 20$ for himself, and gives each guy 10$ back.

You have 1 dad, 2 sons, 1 mom, 2 daughters, 1 cop and 1 prisoner on an island.
They have to get off the island, but they only have 1 raft. You cannot leave the mom alone with the 2 sons or she will beat them, and you cannot leave the dad with the 2 girls or he will beat them. You cannot leave the prisoner with anyone but the cop. How do you get them all across?
