Here's a riddle for you all:
I'm an odd number. If you cut off my head, I become even. If you then cut off my tail, I become the original mother. What number am I?

A farmer combined 2 haystacks with 3 others. How many haystacks does he have?
 
3 I think
Only one color, but not one size; stuck to the ground, yet easily flies. Present in sun, but not in rain; doing no harm, and feeling no pain. What is it?
 
the answer is the number 7, for the second time. LOL.

SEVEN

Chop off the head, and it becomes EVEN

Chop off the tail and EVEN becomes EVE, the original mother.

get it??
 
a shadow.


My head and tail both equal are,
My middle slender as a bee.
Whether I stand on head or heel
Is quite the same to you or me.
But if my head should be cut off,
The matter's true, though passing strange
Directly I to nothing change.
What am I???

My answer was 1 to the haystacks!
 
ah. yes, if you combine three haystacks and two haystacks, you have one haystack.

I run over fields and woods all day. Under the bed at night I sit not alone. My tongue hangs out, up and to the rear, awaiting to be filled in the morning. What am I?
 
A shoe!

As I was going to St. Ives I met a man with seven wives, each wife had seven sacks, each sack had seven cats, each cat had seven kittens. Kits, cats, sacks and wives, how many were going to St. Ives?
 
Ok heres one then
A lost explorer was wandering deep in the jungle. He ran across a tribe of natives who captured him. They took him to their chief.
The chief explained that if the location of his tribe was discovered, he and his people would be forced from the jungle and their homeland would be destroyed. The explorer had to be killed in a ritual ceremony.
This is how the ceremony worked:
The explorer would make one statement which would determine his fate (questions and commands would be ignored).
If the statement was TRUE, he would be thrown off of a cliff.
If the statement was FALSE, he would be fed to lions.
The explorer pondered his situation, deep in thought, then carefully made his statement.
After the chief reflected on the explorer's statement, he realized that he would have to let the explorer go. This was done immediately, and the explorer left the jungle that very day.
The chief never forgot the great wisdom of that explorer.
WHAT WAS THE EXPLORER'S STATEMENT?
I can think of two answers

If he combinds 2 with 3 others than it is up to interpritation as he could be adding them amongst the 3 haystacks unless I'm mistaken. Not important really but eh
 
Here a riddle to keep things going...
Four jolly men sat down to play,
And played all night till break of day.
They played for cash and not for fun,
With a separate score for every one.
When it came time to square accounts,
they all had made quite fair amounts.
Now, not one has lost and all have gained -
Tell me now, this can you explain?
