In front of you are ten piles of ten gold coins each. One pile consists of under weight coins, although they look identical to the naked eye. A genuine coin weighs 10g whereas a fake coin weighs only 9.9g. You are allowed one use of an exact weighing machine, but it can only measure up to 500g. How do you determine which is the pile of fake coins?
Answer: Number the piles from one to ten. Take 1 coin from pile one, 2 from pile two and so on until you take 9 coins from pile nine. Weigh this collection of 45 coins. (Remember, that weighing more than 50 coins will exceed the machine's limit of 500g.)

a blonde joke not a riddle but i love telling this one 2 people:
An Irishman , a Mexican and a Blonde Guy were doing construction work on=
scaffolding on the 20th floor of a building.
They were eating lunch and the Irishman said, "Corned beef and cabbage!
If I get corned beef and cabbage one more time for lunch, I'm going to jump
off this building."
The Mexican opened his lunch box and exclaimed, "Burritos again! If I get
burritos one more time I'm going to jump off, too."
The blonde opened his lunch and said, " Bologna again! If I get a bologna
a sandwich one more time, I'm jumping too."
The next day, the Irishman opened his lunch box, saw corned beef and cabbage
, and jumped to his death.
The Mexican opened his lunch, saw a burrito, and jumped, too.
The blonde guy opened his lunch, saw the bologna and jumped to his death
as well.
At the funeral, the Irishman's wife was weeping. She said, "If I'd known
how really tired he was of corned beef and cabbage, I never would have given
it to him again!"
The Mexican's wife also wept and said, "I could have given him tacos or
enchiladas! I didn't realize he hated burritos so much."
(Oh this is GOOD!!)?
Everyone turned and stared at the blonde's wife. The blonde's wife said,
"Don't look at me. He makes his own lunch."
Isn't it funny

There was this girl who love to climb trees. One day she was walking and then started to climb a tree, and a man saw her climbing the tree so he said i'll give you lollipops if you keep on climbing the tree. so the girl took the lollipops and kept on climbing the tree. Then she went home and her mom asked her ''where did you get all those lollipos?'' the girl said '' a man said that he would give me lollipops if i climbed the tree.so the next day she was walking again and the man saw her and told her that he would give her more lollipops if she climbed the tree again. so then she climbed the tree and took the lollipops and went home. her mom asked her'' where did get all of those lollipops?'' and the girl said the same man asked me to climb the tree again and if i did, he would give more lollipops''. the mom said'' you know hunny that that man is only asking to climb the tree so he could see your underwear'', you have to stop.'' and then then the next day the girl was waliking and the same man asked her to climb the tree again so she did and he gave her more lollipops, and the girl went home.the mom said'' where did you get all those lollipops? i thought i told you to stop.'' and the girl said don't worry mom i wasnt wearing any underwear this time.''
moral of the story:
the man wanted to see her undies so the mom asked her to stop, and the girl didnt wear undies so the man wouldnt see them, like the mom had said.
