Riddle 2:

elephant, riddles, facts, animals, water, drinking, nature

Riddle:

“I have cities, but no houses. I have mountains, but no trees. I have water, but no fish. What am I?”

Riddle 4:

rooster, eggs, facts, life, barn, animals,

Riddle: 

“A rooster lays an egg on the roof of a barn. Which way does the egg roll?”

When you think about an egg atop a barn, you immediately think about how it will roll down. Wind can a play a huge role in deciding which way it falls and so does the shape of the barn roof.

Riddle 5:

riddles, seasons, months, facts, entertainment

Riddle: 

“What is seen in the middle of March and April that can’t be seen at the beginning or end of either month?”

Riddle 6:

riddle, cruise ship, single, married, relationship, people, entertainment

Riddle: 

You see a boat filled with people. It has not sunk, but when you look again you don’t see a single person on the boat. Why?”

This is a hard riddle since it immediately makes you think of something bad and routes your thinking process towards that direction. If you however are a logical thinker, then you would have come up with answers such as “they all went below deck” or “jumped overboard”. But, the trick here is that you have to pay close attention to the word “single”.

Answer: All the people were married.

Riddle 7:

brain teaser, facts, life, people, entertainment, funny, words

Riddle:

What English word has three consecutive double letters? “
